Simon Butte Oil field

This well is the first well I noted from Simon Butte:

• 20092, 155 (no typo), OXY USA, Gordon Pavlicek 1-17-20H-141-95, Three Forks, Simon Butte, Dunn County; s7/11; t10/11; F; cum 8K 2/12; 39 stages; 1 million pounds sand;

Simon Butte oil field is a single township, rectangular field: T141N-R95W, in the far southwest corner of Dunn County. It is just east of ND Highway 22 (the most scenic highway in North Dakota) and about six miles northeast of Dickinson. At the present time, it is fairly inactive. It appears to be an OXY USA field (acquired from Anschutz).

Take a look at #13224 and #13276 below. The former had almost one million bbls from the Silurian, and another 85,000 from the Madison. 

There are currently four OXY USA long lateral wells in this field, and about five vertical/short directional wells (some plugged; some active):
