Original Post

For background to this story, consider:
Then look at the added material to the post yesterday regarding wells coming off the confidential list.
There are two things to note at the latter link:
  • Petro-Hunt's Minnelusa Wollan well; and, 
  • the new permits: of the 15 new permits yesterday, Petro-Hunt accounted for nine (9).
Of all the operators in the Bakken, Petro-Hunt has always intrigued me. Because it is not publicly traded, information is hard to come by. When I started blogging about the Bakken, there were three private operators that stood out: Anschutz, Slawson, and Petro-Hunt. Anschutz, of course, sold out to OXY USA. Slawson was really, really active in the beginning, but now I don't see it so much. On the other hand, Petro-Hunt seems to be increasing its pace of activity.

Historically, the Tyler formation has been one of the top five oil-producing formations in the Williston Basin. According to the first link above: the Tyler formation is part of the Minnelusa Group, fairly shallow, above the Bakken. The Tyler formation has been divided into two informal units, a lower unit and an upper unit. It produces oil from both units, but oil production from the Tyler is mostly limited to southwestern North Dakota.

Look at the map at that first link. Interestingly, Petro-Hunt's Minnelusa Wollan well is clearly in a "new" location for the Tyler formation. This well is located in Clear Creek, northeast McKenzie County, and a sweet spot for the Bakken, just a few miles east of the Banks and Camp oil fields.

I don't follow the Tyler formation yet well enough to know how this new Petro-Hunt wells stacks up against the others, but a quick comparison of Tyler wells at the "monster well" page suggests that an IP of 80 is fine. 

Clear Creek Field

Clear Creek field is an old field with a lot of activity over the years. It is located in northeast McKenzie County, in one of the sweet spots of the Bakken, just a few miles east of the Camp and Banks oil fields.

It is a very small field, only 14 sections or so. It would have been a 4 x 3 section field except for a couple of sections (and irregular at that) in the southwest corner. State highway 23, running north and south through the oil field, cuts the oil field in half (east and west halves) on the highway's run to New Town to the east, having come from Watford City to the southwest.

At the date of posting, there are no less than nine (9) wells straddling the section line between sections 22/27-152-96 (come producing, some drilling, some on confidential list).
