Just the other day, a reader and I both questioned what was going with Newfield; we hadn't heard anything from Newfield in a long time. Well, it turns out it appears they got a good well. 

In addition, another eight (8) were said to be plugged or producing.

  1. According to a recent conference call, Newfield is transferring their Bakken operations from Denver to Houston. The Denver office will handle their Utah wells. Newfield recently
    drilled four wells in the west half of sections
    2-11 150-99, apparently testing future well spacing plans. They also are staking infill wells in the Watford area. Newfield sold their
    holdings northeast of Williston to Continental
    Resources so will be centering their efforts in
    the Watford, Westberg and Lost Bridge areas. They have a fairly large 2012 budget for the Bakken. They also have begun testing a new
    micro-seismic array in 150-98-99. This should be of additional help with infill wells and fracking plans.

  2. Excellent update; it is very much appreciated. When I get to a desktop, I will re-post this as a stand-alone post.

    It's very helpful.

    Thank you.
