Twenty-Three (23) New Permits -- OXY USA Reports Another Well -- Helis Has a Nice Well -- The Williston Basin, North Dakota, USA

Daily activity report, June, 4, 2012:
  • Operators: CLR (10), EOG (6), Hess (4), OXY (2), Oasis (1)
  • Fields: Oliver (Williams), Gros Ventre (Burke), Dollar Joe (Williams), Banks (McKenzie), Lone Tree Lake (Williams), Fayette (Dunn), Manning (Dunn), Little Knife (Dunn), Spotted Horn (McKenzie)
Several multi-well pads. Lone Tree Lake is north of Williston, about midway between Williston and the Canadian border.

Hess canceled:
  • 19147, PNC, Hess, Edward 28-1H, Dunn
Eight producing wells complete, including:
  • 20591, 2,656, Helis, Jones 4-15/22H, McKenzie, t4/12; cum 48K 4/12; Blue Buttes;
I guess we're back to "tight hole" status. Ten wells released from "tight hole" status:
  • 18067, DRL, Zavanna, Williams,
  • 21018, 1,517, Whiting, Obrigewitch 11-17TFH, Stark,
  • 21273, 251, Whiting, Lahti 41-15TFX, Mountrail,
  • 21348, 312, Whiting, Lahti 31-15TFX Mountrail,
  • 21448, 82, OXY USA, Mogren 159-90-5-P-1H, Burke,
  • 21549, 99, Legacy, Legacy et al Berge 1-1H, Bottineau,
  • 21829, DRL, OXY USA, Elroy Kadrmas 2-10-3H-143-96, Dunn,
  • 21985, DRL, SM Energy, Kirkland 4-18H, McKenzie
So, 3/8 wells not completed.

The Blue Buttes oil field is an incredible field. The few Bakken wells that have been drilled there are reaching 200,000 bbls by two years. But there are many Madison wells still producing, such as this one:
1363, 432, Hess, North Dakota "I" 1, t3/57; cum 423K bbls; 4/12; although still listed as AL, it hasn't produced any oil since 2009 but that's still a well that produced for 52 years.
