Deeper Look At Some Of The Wells Reporting Today -- The Williston Basin, North Dakota, USA

First, a Madison well in Ward County, about 17 miles west of Minot, just outside of Berthold, North Dakota:

• 21145, DRY, Vecta, Neshem 26-1, wildcat, Madison (not a Bakken), s9/11; 

A West Ambrose oil field well; look at the cumulative (35,000 bbls as of 1/12, and it was tested that same month):

• 20486, 787, SM Energy, Wolter 13-23H, West Ambrose, Bakken, s9/11; t1/12; F; cum 35K 1/12. This well produced 17,000 bbls over 27 days in January 2012; 11,000 bbls over 18 days in December 2011; and 11,000 bbls over 15 days in November 2011.

 This EOG well looks like it's gonna be a good one:

• 19802, DRL, EOG, Liberty LR 18-14H, Van Hook, Bakken, s5/23/11; yet to be completed; production so far: 2 days in Sept 2011 - 4,131 bbls; 31 days in Oct 2011 - 25,272 bbls; 30 days in Nov 2011 -- 18,087 bbls; 26 days in Dec 2011 -- 18,364 bbls; 31 days in Jan 2012 -- 18,145 bbls; that totals 83,999 bbls in about four months. This was a long laydown (directly west-east) under the river; projected measured depth 8,979 feet; and 22,655 total depth -- meaning horizontal was about 13,676 feet (2.6 miles). Reached total depth on/about 7/9/11 -- so, about 45 days of drilling.

The OXY USA IPs were interesting. Again.
