Stark County Trivia -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

A big "thank you" to Gary for forwarding me this information. In the big scheme of things, not important, but it helps me understand the Bakken activity a whole lot better. Again, a big thank you:

• 20449, DRY, Whiting, Marsh 21-16TFH, Dutch Henry Butte, TF

According to Gary: The Marsh well that was "Dry."  They screwed up when they where cementing the casing to isolate the fresh water aquifers from the well.  I heard they got the depth of cement wrong so they had to start over with a new permit and hole.. skidded the rig a few feet and got busy and drilled another whole on same pad... I guess it worked because that rig is on the Solberg Pad now...  

The re-entry well:

• 21483, 2,503, Whiting, Marsh 21-16TFH-R; Dutch Henry Butte; another nice well; a re-entry; t11/11; cum 57K 3/12;

There are "no" dry wells in the Bakken.
