Dimond Field

"Spooner" elsewhere asks whether this docket will affect any wells already in these sections?

Thre are NO wells in these sections. There was a dry well drilled some time ago (many, many years ago) in section 24 but that is irrelevant.

This is the docket to which "Spooner" was referring:
Case No. 15649: Application of OXY USA Inc. for an order extending the  outline of theDimond Field to include Sections 1, 12, 13, 24, 25, 26, 35 and 36, T.160N.,R.90W., and Sections 6, 7, 18 and 24, T.160N., R. 91W., Burke County,ND; amending the applicable field orders for the Dimond-Bakken Pool to establish sixteen 1280-acre spacing units described as Sections 1 and 12;Sections 2 and 11; Sections 3 and 4; Sections 5 and 8; Sections 10 and 15; sections 13 and 24; Sections 14 and 23; Sections 20 and 29; Sections 21and 28; Sections 22 and 27; Sections 25 and 36; Sections 26 and 35,T.160N., R.90W.; and Sections 1 and 2; Sections 5 and 6; Sections 7 and 18; and Sections 24 and 25, T.160N., R.91W., and allow a horizontal well to be drilled on each such spacing unit; and such other relief as is appropriate.
It's possible #20743, still on the confidential list could be affected, in section 8-160-91, depending which way it is going, but my hunch it is headed southeast based on the pattern of the other wells; it's an unsual spot to place a horizontal.
  • 20743, CONF, OXY USA, Erickson 160-91-8-D-1H, Dimond, Bakken
I guess this would be a "dimond in the Bakken." Smile.
