The Helis Grail -- Some Monster Wells in the Grail -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Yes, it's the Helis Grail!!! They will be gabbing about this one for weeks. It looks like the Grail is a sweet spot for the Three Forks. This is exactly what keeps oil men excited about the industry.

I've just posted the most recent wells that have been released from confidential status. Another big thank you to Karen for all her work.

Of the nine wells that came off the confidential list, five were fracked/completed, including these two:
I am eager to see the results of this one, right in the bull's eye of the Bakken:
  • 20717, 3,295, BEXP, Hilly 22-15 1H, Camp, Bakken, s7/11; t11/11; F; cum 71K 2/12; most recent reporting month, only 18 days on-line
But back to the Holy Helis Grail, this is the production data:
  • s7/11
  • t10/11
  • October, 2011, 25 days: 40,037 bbls of oil
  • November, 2011, 30 days: 28,372 bbls of oil
  • Cumulative for less than 2 months: 68,409 bbls.
Lynn Helms says ND Sweet is averaging about $85/bbl --> $5.8 million

Check out the Grail field here:
Grail oil field is a 30-section oil field just west of the reservation; the field currently has two rigs on site (posted April 26, 2011).
Back on March 3, 2011, this was reported:
  • 17722, 2,068, Helis Oil and Gas, LLC, Henderson Federal 4-26/35H, Grail, Bakken; TFS, 35K in 41 days; ~ 24-stage fracs 9/10; t1/11; cum 132K 3/12;
But this is the "biggie" in Grail, section 17-149-95:
  • 18448, 2,429, Helis Oil and Gas, LLC, Andrecovich 5-17/16H, 24-stage frac; TFS, tested, 9/10; 129K in 4.5 months; 20K/month; s4/10; t9/10; cum 232K 3/12; 24 stages; 3 million lbs; half Ottawa sand; half ceramics

If anyone knows of any Bakken Pool well that has produced in excess of 40,000 bbls in less than 25 days, I would be happy to get comments.

By the way, this Helis well is in the wings, waiting to debut:
  • 19894, DRL, Helis, Gabbert 4-2/11H, s4/11; as of 3/11, still on DRL status; almost looks like it is having problems, or delays in getting fracked; the well file suggests that this is going to be a great well;
