Oil for America? Remember That One? -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

I remember how excited I was when I first started reading the press releases from Oil for America. And then for the longest time, we heard little from the company, and then when we did hear something, it was not encouraging.

Oil for America's second well released from confidential status is now listed as "shut in" by NDIC:
  • 19272, SI, Oil for America, Wolf 29-1, Wildcat, Lodgepole (not a Bakken)
This was one of those wells looking for a Lodgepole reef.

I don't recall any press release from the company.

The production numbers for Oil for America's first well have not changed:
  • 19258, F, Oil for America, Zastoupil 22-1, Wildcat, Lodgepole (not a Bakken) -- one day of production back in March, 2011, and cumulative -- 75 barrels.
It's listed as "flowing" but, if so, it certainly isn't flowing much.

I went back to these because a Fidelity rig is on site, near the Wolf well -- about 3 miles distant to the east (Fidelity is east of the Wolf well): Fidelity's Wanner 44-23H, a wildcat, and most likely targeting the Three Forks.

Nearby are two Chesapeake rigs:
  • 21143, DRL, Schoch 21-137-97 A 1H
  • 21139, DRL, Zent 30-138-95 A 1H
These are south of Dickinson, in Stark County, but near Slope and Hettinger counties.
