Fourteen (14) New Permits -- 1 Out of 3 Wells Fracked "on Time" -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Wow, wow, wow -- second day in a row with 14 new permits issued --

 Daily activity report, October 5, 2011 --

Operators: Samson Resources (4), Denbury (2), Petro-Hunt (2), Baytex, Hess, Whiting, CLR, Zenergy, and Kodiak.

Fields: Bluffton, Ranch Coulee, Tobacco Garden, Juno, Four Bears, Musta, Bell, Upland, Siverston, Mondak, and one wildcat.

Samson Resources has the wildcat in Divide County.
Denbury and Petro-Hunt both have permits for a 2-well pad.

Of the three wells coming off the confidential list, only Whiting reported its well:
  • 19558, 393, Robert Patten 44-3TFH, Mountrail
Bluffton is "new" to me. It's quite a ways north of Williston, adjacent to Blooming Prairie. Samson Resources already has one producing well in that field, the unremarkable:
  • 16443, 60, Samson Resources, Wenstad 15-162-97H, Bluffton, Bakken, s1/07; t4/07; cumulative on 21,000 bbls after four years of production; this well has been designated a stripper well; it's intial spacing was 1280-acres but requested a change to 640-acre spacing (which I assumed was granted); it was fracked with sand and diesel, but from the file report I did not see number of stages
A lot has changed since 2007; it will be interesting to see if Samson Resources gets better wells this far north.
