Update on the Nine (9) Wells Along the Hess Long Lateral #17117

See this link first.

Back on July 7, 2011, I wrote:

I see that there are now nine (9) wells alongside the Hess long lateral #17117. I first talked about six monitoring wells along this long lateral back on March 18, 2011.

The original six wells all had "observation" in their names. The newest three wells no longer have "observation" in their names and are located immediately around the original well site of Hess #17117: EN-Person-156-94-1102H-1.  Based on their names, these three new wells will not be monitoring #17117 but will be production wells. Note that the most recent permit (#20772) is the odd-man out of these four wells. #20772 is not a "Person" well but an "Enger" well and it will be going south, where the other three are going north.

So, lots of data to consider, and more to go through if one is interested.

By the way, what made me think of updating this data today. I downloaded NOG's acreage map and this area of activity literally popped out at me.
