For folks living in Williston, this is a nice field to drive out to and look at the activity. There is one rig on site, just to the north of US 2, as one enters the field from the west. There are several wells on the confidential list, and my hunch is there are a lot of flares to be seen from the road.
It appears that all 33 sections of this field should be held by production now except for maybe three sections (11, 12, 30).
It's an interesting mix of wells: a lot of very good Madison wells, such as:
- 12537, 157, Petro-Hunt, State of North Dakota K 1, Stockyard Creek, Madison; s10/88; t12/88; 6/11 461K; still easily 1,000 bbls/month
- 12487, 272, Petro-Hunt, Texaco Otto Boss 18-1, Stockyard Creek, Madison; s8/88; t9/88; 6/11 637K
Meanwhile, some of the new Bakken wells look to be very good, including:
- 19220, 1,057, BTA/Baytex, 20711 Saccaro 310 1-H, Bakken, spudded 8/10, DRL; s8/10; t11/10; 6/11 110K -- spudded 8/10 and has already produced 110,000 bbls of oil
Petro Harvester is poking some holes in the Madison formation in Bottineau County---I think it is in the Renville field? Do you have any information on how they are doing? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI will eventually post more on what I find, but here is the start:

Yes, I am very, very interested to see how these Madison wells do. As Bakken wells hit $9 million to complete, we might see increased interest in legacy wells that don't require horizontal legs.
