Producers: CLR (2), Fidelity, Whiting, Hess, Oasis, and Hunt.
Fields: Green River, Bell, Alger, Dollar Joe, Parshall, and two wildcats.
One of the wildcats is a CLR wildcat south of Stockyard Creek, southeast of Williston.
The other wildcat, the Oasis permit, is north of Williston.
Interestingly, Fidelity's permit is in Green River. The Green River oil field is just north of Zenith oil field; the two fields share a common border. Remember Zenith? Yeah, that's where Empire Oil just paid $9,000/acre for five tracts.

Rigzone: The Bakken Helping to Make up the Deficit Due to the Permitorium -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA
Link here. From the Rigzone:
According to the Bismarck Tribune:
Harold Hamm, CLR/CEO opines there are 24 billion barrels of recoverable oil from the Bakken pool (Bakken and Three Forks formations).
A spill-related slowdown in the Gulf of Mexico could cut into oil production from the offshore basin for several years. But a number of emerging oil fields onshore, once thought out of reach, are helping the U.S. fill in the gap in the meantime.A very nice article.
Oil and gas companies, using techniques mastered in recent years to produce natural gas from shales and other dense rocks, are now having success extracting big quantities of oil from tight rock formations stretching from Texas to North Dakota.
The Bakken shale, for instance, could hold more than 4 billion barrels of undiscovered, technically recoverable oil -- a 25-fold increase over what could be recovered in 1995, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Other emerging U.S. oil fields include the Granite Wash, from North Texas into Oklahoma.That number -- 4 billion barrels -- probably includes both the Bakken formation and the Three Forks formation. Regardless, it's a huge number.
According to the Bismarck Tribune:
Bakken production had been just 13 million barrels until 2004 but jumped 191 million barrels since then, records show.So, rounding, 200 million barrels so far from the Bakken. 4,000 million / 200 million = 20 years at current rates of production. Production is expected to increase significantly over the next few years however. But that fits the "Bakken analysis" which suggests new drilling will continue until 2030, and production from the Bakken will continue through 2100.

Happy Anniversary: 60 Years in the Oil Patch, Williston Basin, North Dakota, USA
The Clarence Iverson well hit oil on April 4, 1951.
This is a nice review. Unfortunately it's a regional article and the link will probably break soon. If I get time, I will provide some data points from the article.
The most important takeaway: the Bakken formation overshadows every other pay zone in the Williston Basin, but Bakken technology will eventually be used for those other non-communicating formations.

Heart of the Bakken: Another Record -- Snowiest Winter On Record for Williston, North Dakota, USA
It's official. Williston, North Dakota, set a new record for the most snow in any winter in its history: 95.1 inches. The previous record was 94.7 inches.
The year for the previous record was not given in this Bismarck Tribune story but it was probably pre-global warming days. [Update: yes, according to the Williston Herald, the previous record was set in 1895-1896 -- definitely before global warming.]
I can't make this stuff up. The linked article was posted one year ago, April 2, 2010. Most interesting are the UN sessions in 2008 concerned about less snowfall in the future due to global warming.
The most interesting thing about this story is the fact that Williston has never been known for snow. It's been known for very cold winters, but with regard to snow, Williston seldom gets much snow. I remember all my high school years wishing there was more snow to go snowmobiling, but not to be. There were a lot of nearly snowless winters.
Can't wait to see what next year brings.

$120 WTI Oil? -- CNBC
Two talking heads on CNBC within the last hour, on two different segments, two different shows both suggested oil will go to $120.
One pundit noted there is some evidence of "demand destruction" or "pulling away from the pump." But he said that was good news: they will spend their money elsewhere. [Assuming they can get to there, as Tina Fey would say.]
It's good to remember that in his energy security speech President Obama was not concerned, noting that a $10 rise in a barrel of oil only translates to a 25 cent / gallon increase in the price of gasoline. And since gasoline is creeping up 20 to 40 cents, it appears that some folks are talking oil up to $120.
The increasing price of oil was related to a) weakness of the dollar; and, b) inflation. It was noted that disasters (Japanese nuclear reactor/earthquake), political events (Libyan "kinetic military action"), and improving global economy (China, India) might be playing a small role in the increasing price of oil.
Meanwhile, CNBC noted several times this morning that the spread between Brent and WTI was widening once again, after coming closer together last week.

BEXP Reports Two More Nice Wells -- Some Selected Wells Coming Off Confidential List Today -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA
BEXP reported IPs on two wells. The Knoshaug had come off the confidential list awhile back but was on DRL status waiting to be completed. I believe the Gibbons is still on the confidential list:
Hess, finally, had a well with a great IP, but first month's production is not remarkable; note the field:
- 19406, 3,761, BEXP, Knoshaug 14-11 1H, Wildcat, Bakken, midway between Williston, and Stockyard Creek where SSN has some nice wells
- 19561, 2,305, BEXP, Gibbons, 1-12 1H, Wildcat, Bakken, southwest of Williston, near Forts Buford and Union
Hess, finally, had a well with a great IP, but first month's production is not remarkable; note the field:

Environmentalists Run Amok and Half Moon Bay One Step Closer to Bankruptcy -- Not a Bakken Story
This is a long, convoluted story that has nothing to do with the Bakken.
I am placing this here simply for my own use for later reference. I recommend folks who follow this site for information on the Bakken to ignore this post. Again, some times I find things I want to keep for future reference and have nowhere else to place it, so it goes here. (No, I don't want a separate blog.)
Many years ago, in a different life, I spent some time around Half Moon Bay, California. Most beautiful place in the world. Great memories.
So, I was quite surprised to see the headline on the Drudge Report that Half Moon Bay, to forestall bankruptcy, will be outsourcing its police department.
How could Half Moon Bay end up in such financial problems, to be on the brink of bankruptcy?
It all has to do with environmentalists running amok.
I knew nothing about the story until today. Fortunately for the blogosphere. The "Californians for Property Rights" tell the story. I have no connection with that group; in fact, I had not heard of it until now. But they can write a good story. Stories we would not find in the mainstream media.
1. The California Coastal Act was passed in 1976 by popular vote. Its language was so ambiguous and broad that potholes collecting water could be litigated to qualify as wetlands.
2. In the 1980s, Half Moon Bay installed storm drains. Over time, the storm drains became plugged with debris, and water backed up in the drains, resulting in large areas of water pooling in and around Half Moon Bay. One can argue how that occurred but most likely it was due to failure to maintain the storm drains.
3. Under pressure from environmentalists, the government confiscated a 24-acre swath of "wetlands." Twenty-four acres of land along the beautiful coast of California is worth a bit of money. The owner sued and was awarded $37 million. And that drove the city to insolvency.
The mainstream media article gave several inches of ink to the loss of the police department but provided a single paragraph reminding folks how this all occurred.

Everyone knew this day was coming. It's been coming for four years, ever since U.S. District Court Judge John Walker dealt the city a devastating $41 million judgment in a land-use case infamously known as Beachwood. The city then settled the suit for $18 million, which it will be paying off for the next 30 years.Actions have consequences.

Background for this page:
Two years ago, I put all new wells on one post. That list got way too long and unwieldy. Last year, I broke the list into two postings. This year, I will break it into four postings, by quarter.
I post the reports when they come off the confidential list. Occasionally I report other wells that were not on the confidential list and were reported elsewhere. In addition, I update wells in "DRL" status when the IPs are reported.
A reminder: wells are on the confidential list for six months. The clock starts ticking when the well is spud. If the well has not been completed (fracked) at the six month mark, NDIC allows the operator to delay reporting until 30 days after the well has been fracked. During that time, the well status is "DRL." Four-month delays in fracking are not uncommon and we are starting to see an occasional 6-month delay. Before fracking is accomplished, wells that have reached total depth will generally have some production, but it has been my observation that production before fracking seldom correlates to production after fracking.
In addition, for newbies, one can assume a 50% drop in monthly production by the second or third month after the first full month of fracking. After two or three months, the production continues to decline slowly and it seems to me that about two years out, production tends to level off with a gentle declining slope.
At some point, a pump will be put on the well (at which time there will be a few days of lost production). The monthly production does not change significantly after the pumps are put on, which I find interesting.

Background for this page:
Two years ago, I put all new wells on one post. That list got way too long and unwieldy. Last year, I broke the list into two postings. This year, I will break it into four postings, by quarter.
I post the reports when they come off the confidential list. Occasionally I report other wells that were not on the confidential list and were reported elsewhere. In addition, I update wells in "DRL" status when the IPs are reported.
A reminder: wells are on the confidential list for six months. The clock starts ticking when the well is spud. If the well has not been completed (fracked) at the six month mark, NDIC allows the operator to delay reporting until 30 days after the well has been fracked. During that time, the well status is "DRL." Four-month delays in fracking are not uncommon and we are starting to see an occasional 6-month delay. Before fracking is accomplished, wells that have reached total depth will generally have some production, but it has been my observation that production before fracking seldom correlates to production after fracking.
In addition, for newbies, one can assume a 50% drop in monthly production by the second or third month after the first full month of fracking. After two or three months, the production continues to decline slowly and it seems to me that about two years out, production tends to level off with a gentle declining slope.
At some point, a pump will be put on the well (at which time there will be a few days of lost production). The monthly production does not change significantly after the pumps are put on, which I find interesting.
Rig Count Drops Dramatically in Canada -- A Third of Their Active Fleet -- PennEnergy
Update
July 1, 2011: Maybe it wasn't seasonal, and maybe my original comments were correct. Canada lost 27 rigs this week while the US increased rigs: Canada down 27; US up 25.
Losing 27 rigs this week, Canada has 250 rigs actively drilling in the country, one of which is working offshore Newfoundland and Labrador. Alberta’s oil sands boast the most drilling activity with 166 active rigs. Drilling is also ongoing in Saskatchewan with 46 rigs and British Columbia with 37 rigs.April 4, 2011: See comments. The dramatic drop in rigs is said to be season, not related to TransCanada's Keystone XL, the activity below the border, or other geo-political concerns. I was wrong. It's only seasonal.
Original Post
There's an interesting story / headline over at PennEnergy: Rig Count Drops Dramatically in Canada. There is no accompanying op-ed to suggest why.
According to the weekly rig report from oilfield services firm Baker Huges, the number of rotary drilling rigs actively working in North America dropped due to a major decrease in the number of rigs working in Canada this week, representing about a third of the active fleet.Perhaps it's seasonal. Perhaps it's an anomaly that will sort itself out a month from now.
In the US, the number of drilling rigs jumped by 38 this week to 1,776 active rigs drilling across the country – both onshore and offshore. An increase of 311 year over year, drilling activity continues to ramp up in the various shale plays across the nation.
But one has to wonder.
I find it incredible that a third of the Canadian fleet is not active -- think if a headline appeared saying that a third of the Bakken fleet stopped drilling -- and nothing was said. My immediate hunch: too much oil, not enough takeaway capacity.
With the TransCanada Keystone XL on hold and a decision delayed for at least a year, could some Canadian operators also be moving their rigs south of the border?
There's a lot of competition for drilling on both sides of the border, and there has been a lot of interest stateside in the following: the Niobrara in D-J (Wyoming/Colorado); the Alberta Basin Bakken (north-central Montana); the Williston Basin Bakken (North Dakota); and the Eagle Ford (south Texas); and, most recently, the Spearfish formation (Bottineau County, North Dakota).
*************
Someone not too long ago suggested to me we could see $65 oil again. I can't see that, but on the other hand, I don't understand the price at $108 with supplies brimming in the US, and more production coming on line. Except for one thing: the weak dollar is getting weaker, and inflation is around the corner.
New Widget Added -- Natural Gas Tickers
With all the new-found interest in natural gas, I have added a widget to the sidebar at the right to follow daily stock market action for selected natural gas companies. The "Natural Gas Plays" widget is way down at the bottom of the sidebar at the right.
Obviously I will be adding many more natural gas companies to this widget. I don't follow natural gas all that closely, so I don't know the best ones to follow.
My biggest challenge is determining the order in which to place the various subjects on the sidebar. If I place all the "good" stuff at the top, no one will scroll down to the bottom, missing some other great links.
By the way, again, I have to thank a friend for suggesting these widgets to track stock market action. I find that when I'm traveling and only have a moment to check the market, I can come to this site, scroll down the right side and get a great quick look.

Investors: Guide to Oil Service Investing
With windfall profits taxes on the oil companies just around the corner, or at least talk of same, investors in oil E&P companies may want to consider looking at oil services.
An article over at SeekingAlpha.com today has a nice story listing these oil service companies, including names of many working in the Bakken.
(By the way, I don't thank a friend often enough for sending me these links. There is no way I could find all these links on my own, so I really appreciate his assistance. So, thank you.)

Huge Grain Elevator Complex Coming to Hebron -- Huge Story, But Not a Bakken Story
In the big scheme of things the news of more grain loading capacity in North Dakota probably won't make any difference to Warren Buffett's bottom line, but his decision to buy Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad (BNI) last year was brilliant. The timing could not have been better.
His purchase of BNI came just as interest in building railroad oil loading terminals in the Bakken began to explode.
I'm reminded of the BNI purchase once again with the news that a subsidiary of Archer Daniels Midland is going to put up a multi-million dollar concrete grain elevator complex next to the BNI railroad tracks outside Hebron, North Dakota. The story is in the Bismarck Tribune.
There is concern whether other elevators will be able to compete against this behemoth. They admit that the state needs more railroad grain capacity. (That's an understatement: for decades, there has been a small but very vocal group threatening BNI with lawsuits for inadequate railroad wheat loadings and their virtual monopoly status in the state. The new elevator should help alleviate the shortfall.)

The company has Morton County zoning approval for a 195-acre site on Old Highway 10 outside Hebron, enough for towering concrete silos and a round track to load 110-car grain trains bound down the BNSF Railway mainline to shipping ports.The elevator will need 11 million bushels of grain annually to make it operate efficiently. Folks around Hebron feel there is not enough grain in the local area to support such an endeavor, and that grain will be coming in from other areas in North Dakota.

An article in that same edition suggests that the Archer Daniels Midland complex is just one of several huge elevator projects on the books in that part of the state. When all is said and done, there will be as many as four huge elevator complexes, all along the BNI line, in this general area.*******
Hebron, North Dakota, is 60 miles east of Dickinson, North Dakota.
The California Drought Has Ended -- Not a Bakken Story
Note: in the story below, it is noted that the snow pack in the mountains of southern California is 165 percent of normal. Folks are talking about keeping the ski lifts open through July. Seriously. So much for global warming.
Three years ago, there was a precursor to the current "MillionDollarWay." With literally one click, I purposely deleted a year's worth of some pretty good posts. I wish I had been more selective and saved some of the better posts.
I'm reminded of that because of the story in the LA Times today that the drought in California is finally over (and has been over for quite some time, but the politicians finally got around to acknowledging it).
By the way, how much water are we talking about?
So, some comments:

Anyway, I digress. Here's the story:Three years ago, there was a precursor to the current "MillionDollarWay." With literally one click, I purposely deleted a year's worth of some pretty good posts. I wish I had been more selective and saved some of the better posts.
I'm reminded of that because of the story in the LA Times today that the drought in California is finally over (and has been over for quite some time, but the politicians finally got around to acknowledging it).
"Official pronouncements on drought always seem to lag common sense by about three to six months," says Keith Coolidge, spokesman for the Delta Stewardship Council, a recently created entity that will design a more reliable and fish-friendlier system for delivering water south.But the drought is over. And much of the hype about the drought was politically motivated (I am shocked! I am shocked!)
Schwarzenegger's drought designation — which facilitated water transfers from haves to have-nots — stayed in effect through succeeding years of 83% and 104% spring snow packs, hardly meeting Webster's definition.Some media outlets were comparing the recent drought to the drought of the 1930's and that's what got my dander up. I even sent letters to the editors of some of these publications calling them out on that preposterous comparison.
Certainly there was a court-caused drought, of sorts. Federal judges, trying to preserve the endangered tiny delta smelt and declining Chinook salmon, tightened the valve on San Joaquin Valley irrigation. It must have helped the salmon. They're roaring back.
The delta, where the snow-fed Sacramento and San Joaquin river drainages converge, is the largest estuary on the west coast of the Americas. It's also California's main water hub, the source of drinking water for 24 million people and irrigation for 3 million acres.
Finally last week, the drought tag no longer could hold water. State hydrologists measured the Sierra snowpack at 165% of normal, the deepest in 16 years.
By the way, how much water are we talking about?
One day last week, the Sacramento River system, including overflow into bypasses, was producing roughly 180,000 cubic feet of water per second. That's the size equivalent of 180,000 basketballs rolling by each second. Put another way, it's around four acre-feet — enough water to supply four families of four for a year — tumbling past Sacramento each second.The story is similar to the current Missouri river, US Army Corps of Engineers, and fracking story in the Bakken.
So, some comments:
1. I am impressed that one of the most liberal-leaning newspapers has noted that there "was a court-caused drought, of sorts."
2. Another lost opportunity during the "lost decade" in which a proper perspective could have prevented much of the court-induced drought.
3. The drought ends during the period of time when global warming continued to worsen. I thought global warming was going to cause worse droughts.
