CLR With Permits for a 6-Well Pad in The Bull's Eye Of The Bakken -- Camp Oil Field -- McKenzie County -- Where Action Is Headed in 2012

In today's daily activity report, November 30, 2011, it appears CLR has permits for putting six wells on one pad. The wells will be only 45 feet apart from each other. It's very possible this is not the first six-well pad, but it's the first time I have noted it (a long time ago I blogged a 6-well pad and was told it was two 3-well pads very, very close to each other). So, as far as I am concerned this is the first "real" 6-well pad unless someone can point out others to me.

Last week, I blogged that BEXP had permits for a 5-well pad.

Regardless of whether these are the first 5- and 6-well pads, they clearly demonstrate we are in the manufacturing phase of drilling the Bakken.

Camp oil field is practically in the "bull's eye" of the Bakken, and where the activity is headed in 2012. Camp oil field is literally a stone's throw from the industrial parks west of Williston, just south across the river. Schlumberger, BHI, Cal-Frac, McCody Concrete, Hexom, Cudd, Statesline, and about 55 of their closest friends could not possibly be in a better location for drilling the "bull's eye" of the Bakken.

By the way, west of Williston, it appears another electrical substation is going in next to the large one that is already there. The infrastructure is there, but no wires, transformers, yet. 

CLR's 6-well pad will be about three miles from:
  • 18437, Oasis, 2,887, Angell 5200 31-28H, tested 5/23/10;  Most recently (9/11) it is producing about 2,000 bbls/month and has produced a total of 122,000 bbls to date (9/11). s12/09; t5/10. 
It will be about a mile from:
  • 20638, 591, CLR, Kuhn 1-12H, Camp, Bakken, s5/11; t8/11; 44K 10/11 -- almost 50K in first two months; producing 13K bbls monthly. Don't let that IP of 591 fool you. This is a great well.
It is about the same distance from another great well:
  • 19578, 749, CLR, Missoula 1-21H, Camp, Bakken, s11/10; t3/11; 60K 10/11 and producing 8,000 bbls monthly; 
There are currently four rigs on site in Camp oil field (BEXP [2], Oasis, and SM).

Here are the permits for the six CLR wells going on one pad:
  • 21977 - CONTINENTAL RESOURCES, INC., FLORIDA 3-11H, SWNE 14-152N-100W, MCKENZIE CO., 1560' FNL and 1408' FEL, DEVELOPMENT, CAMP, 'Tight Hole',
  • 21979 - CONTINENTAL RESOURCES, INC., ALPHA 3-14H, SWNE 14-152N-100W, MCKENZIE CO., 1560' FNL and 1363' FEL, DEVELOPMENT, CAMP, 'Tight Hole',
  • 21980 - CONTINENTAL RESOURCES, INC., FLORIDA 1-11H, SWNE 14-152N-100W, MCKENZIE CO., 1560' FNL and 1318' FEL, DEVELOPMENT, CAMP, 'Tight Hole', 21981 - CONTINENTAL RESOURCES, INC., ALPHA 1-14H, SENE 14-152N-100W, MCKENZIE CO., 1560' FNL and 1273' FEL, DEVELOPMENT, CAMP, 'Tight Hole',
  • 21982 - CONTINENTAL RESOURCES, INC., FLORIDA 2-11H, SENE 14-152N-100W, MCKENZIE CO., 1560' FNL and 1228' FEL, DEVELOPMENT, CAMP, 'Tight Hole',
  • 21983 - CONTINENTAL RESOURCES, INC., ALPHA 2-14H, SENE 14-152N-100W, MCKENZIE CO., 1560' FNL and 1183' FEL, DEVELOPMENT, CAMP, 'Tight Hole'
So, maybe next year when I return to the Bakken, I can drive down a few miles from Williston and see six flares on one pad. Exciting.
