In case some folks have not seen this comment: a reader writes that for the first time in 26 years, his family has been offered a lease from Ballard Petroleum west of Glenburn oil field. A lot of folks have written me in the past year suggesting they are seeing more activity in Minot than can be explained by the Bakken which is too far west.
Ballard Petroleum does have three permits, including:
- 22205, conf, Ballard Petroleum, LLC, Haskins 11-27, wildcat, 27-157-81
- 22051, conf, Ballard Petroleum, LLC, Backes 23-4, wildcat, 4-158-82
Ballard has one active well:
- 15031, 102, Ballard Petroleum, LLC, Stiletto 21-16, Little Knife, s9/2000 and 1/2004; Duperow; cum 170K 12/11
For a vertical well drilled in 2000, and 2004, a cumulative of 170K is not bad/ 320-acre spacing.
For me, this is exciting.
Good luck to those north of Minot.
For a comment
regarding the "Duperow," one may be interested in looking at this post.
The national press will be descending on Tioga for a Bakken day of sorts.

10-1 odds they mispronounce "Bakken" if they even mention it.

DeleteMy biggest problem/challenge is "organization."
I have added Ballard Petroleum to list of companies operating in North Dakota at my FAQ page.
