Hawkeye Oil Field Revisited -- Combo Madison-Bakken Multi-Well Pads Coming -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Look at these links regarding the Mogen well, the Dahl well, and Hawkeye oil field.

The Hawkeye oil field is at the very bull's eye of the Bakken, northeast McKenzie County, northeast of Watford City.

Just out of curiosity, I was curious what some of the "legacy" wells in the immediate area had done. Halfway between the Mogen well and the Dahl well (but a mile north):
  • 1596, 303, Hess, Hawkeye-Madison Unit F-618 HR, s11/57; t12/57; SI; cum 788K bbls; last produced in 2009; produced for 52 years. 
Repeating something I posted earlier:

From the NDIC November hearing docket agenda:
Case No. 16110: Application of Hess Corp. for an order amending the applicable orders for the Hawkeye-Bakken Pool to allow up to six horizontal wells and up to eight vertical wells to be drilled in a 1280-acre spacing unit described as Sections 18 and 19, T.152N., R.95W., McKenzie County, ND, and such other relief as is appropriate.
So, why would Hess want to drill up to six (6) horizontal (Bakken) wells and up to eight (8) vertical (Madison?) wells on one 1280-acre spacing unit in this area?

      We will find out but (my guess) I believe microseismic monitoring of the fracturing is one possibility.

        "Music to my ears" to hear that.

        For newbies, I have "microseismic array" linked at the sidebar at the sidebar.
