Continental Resources has a permit for a wildcat in Billings county.
Of the five wells approved for confidential status, four were Whiting's, and Whiting reports a "plugged or producing" well:
- 21474, conf, Whiting, Kjelstrup 44-24TFH, Golden Valley
- 19280, 1,454, XTO, Rolfsrud State 14X-36, McKenzie
- 20092, 155 (no typo), OXY USA, Gordon Pavlicek 1-17-20H-141-95, Dunn
- 21054, 1,601, Helis, Veeder 1-27/34H, McKenzie
- 21351, 1,774, MRO, Ostlund 11-14H, Mountrail
- OXY USA continues to impress.
- I'll check later, but if these are not the first BR permits in Corral Creek under the new scheme announced December 21, 2011, they are some of the first. [I just checked: yes, these are the first permits for this field in 2012.]
- That's another nice Helis well; it looks like they've cracked the code in the Bakken.
For quite some time it seemed that Brigham had been keeping up with fracking of their newly completed wells.
ReplyDeleteWatching the daily activity reports in the last month or two it is apparent that they cannot keep up considering their rig count has jumped from twelve to twenty in such a short time.
Bud was hoping to get to twelve rigs by the end of 2012. Now April 2012 and twenty rigs. Statoil must have brought a very big wallet.
Although I may have blogged it, I had forgotten; I lost track of the number of rigs BEXP had.
DeleteHowever, I had noticed that BEXP was no longer keeping up with fracking (I'm not sure I had blogged that because I thought it might be an anomaly, and not necessarily the norm, which it now seems it is).
Thank you for taking time to point that out; it helps confirm that some things I notice may be accurate. Smile.
