Mega-Pads in the Bakken: QEP and WPX in Heart Butte and Deep Water Creek Bay

Mike Filloon mentioned that QEP has finished drilling all the wells on its 10-well pad. There are two fields in which QEP has a number of multi-well pads: Heart Butte and Deep Water Creek Bay.

Heart Butte is an interesting field, a very active field, and one with much history -- for a boom that's in its early stages. The oil field first caught my eye back in March, 2010, when I was transcribing the NDIC hearing dockets for that month:
  • 12284: Questar, extending the Heart Butte Field and creating 24 640-acre spacing units in Dunn, McLean and Mountrail Counties, with two horizontal wells in each (48 wells)
This was before Questar split of QEP.

The Heart Butte oil field was also the focus for the Arrow Pipeline, a huge deal at the time for many reasons.

So, now we wait for the IPs for the ten wells that QEP has just completed.

Here are some multi-well QEP pads and WPX pads in Heart Butte and Deep Water Creek Bay:

Some time ago I mentioned that I was no longer tagging/labeling "multi-well pads" because this was becoming too commonplace. I am now tagging/labeling "mega-pads"which have more than 5 wells on the pad. This is different than the tag "mega-units" which generally refers to 2560-acre spacing units, but at least 1,920 acres.

Note: there may be some errors on the data above; it was done quickly and not double-checked.
