Nine (9) New Permits -- The Williston Basin, North Dakota, USA

Daily activity report, June 19, 2012--
  • Operators: Hess (3), Fidelity (2), Enerplus (2), CLR (2)
  • Fields: Antelope (McKenzie), Spotted Horn (McKenzie), Dutch Henry Butte (Stark), East Fork (Williams), Truax (Williams), Dickinson (Stark)
Fidelity has two permits in the Whiting Pronghorn Prospect area (Dutch Henry Butte) and the very interesting Dickinson field, southwest North Dakota.

Wells released from "tight hole" status:
  • 21317, 880, Fidelity, Laci 21-28-27H, Sanish, t3/12; cum 51K 4/12;4-section (2560-acre) spacing
  • 21324, 720, Denbury Onshore, Olson 34-19SWH Arnegard field, t3/12; cum 7K 4/12;
  • 21710, drl, BEXP, Rich 30-31 1H, Todd, s12/11;
  • 21872, 526, CLR, Bondevik 1-14H, Wildrose, t4/12; cum 12K 4/12;
  • 21939, 370, G3 Operating, Pasternak 1-32-29H, Climax, t3/12; cum 5K 4/12;
We'll see later how accurate this is.

It will be interesting to see where the horizontal for the Laci well runs; the spacing unit is 2560-acres, sections 27, 28, 21, and 22, where there are already 7 other wells, all 640-acre spacing, I believe.

Production for Laci, 21317:

It was always my impression that BEXP got their wells completed by the date the wells came off the confidential list, but it seems the new normal is for BEPX wells to go to DRL status, although they are not there very long.

    1. Production: amount of oil produced by the well.
      Runs: amount of oil sold.

    1. Aha! So that's where the video originated. I was looking for the source -- didn't look hard enough -- thank you. I will attribute the source at the post where the video was linked.
