Idle Chatter on EOG Permits for Six Wells in Spotted Horn -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

A long, long time ago, I remember "cocktail chatter" on this blog and elsewhere trying to sort out the nomenclature for EOG wells. Here we go again. Permits for these six wells in today's daily active report.  It appears that one well will be sited in section 20 and end in section 17; and an additional three wells will be sited in section 17 and end in section 8.  These are in Spotted Horn field; will be a mixture of middle Bakken and Three Forks wells. I believe 2-digit numbers represent middle Bakken, and 3-digit numbers represent Three Forks, but I could be wrong. Folks will either tell me or we will know in a year. Helis has had some very, very nice wells in Spotted Horn.

• 23065, Bear Den 20-1708H 
• 23066, Bear Den 102-1708H 

EOG already has two wells in this area:

• 19157, 1,476, EOG, Bear Den 04-20H, t3/11; cum 117K 4/12; hardly a year old, >100K bbls;
• 19170, 1,882, EOG, Bear Den 07-17H, t1/11; cum 119K 4/12; a little more than a yr old, >100K bbls;

I posted this video a long time ago:


Driving Down Into the Bear Den
In the big scheme of things there are very few videos taken by workers in the field and posted on the internet; some day these will be "rarities" that folks will enjoy looking back on.

Wow, I haven't looked at that video in a long time? Is it not simply incredible footage, incredible views?
