Bakken Operations
See comment: when did one bopd match North Dakota's per capita? August 14. Which, by the way, is my birthday: August 14. Here's the data:
With regard to one bbl of oil/day per capita:Active rigs: 184 (steady, but up nicely)
Let's say the daily oil production of oil was 684,000 bbls of oil on August 14, 2012 (see Director's cut dated October 19, 2012).
See wiki population for North Dakota: 683,932.
So, the one bbl of oil/day per capita: August 14, 2012. Another bit of cocktail party trivia.
Five (5) new permits -
- Operators: MRO (3), Oasis, Whiting
- Fields: Lonesome (McKenzie), Reunion Bay (McKenzie), Camp (McKenzie)
- Comments: None
Producing wells completed:
- 22215, 504, WPX Energy Williston, George Evans 11-2HZ, Van Hook, t10/12; cum 13K 10/12;
- 20689, 1,202, Zenergy, Patsy 5-8H, Siverston, t11/12; cum --
- 17466, dry at 12, 305 feet, Denbury Onshore, Shipton 44-21HSES 21-158N-87W, Wildcat, Ward County, Bakken; this was a wildcat seen mostly as exploratory; spud back in February, 2009; no sundry forms showing fracking; most likely not fracked; gas units maxed out at 250; geologist happy to see what they saw, but not particularly promising to begin with; northwest corner of Ward County (northwest of Minot); far outside the Bakken
I had missed this, or I forgot it.

ps. On what day did ND oil production equal 1 BO/capita? I don't recall anyone noticing.
Awesome. The presentation is dated March 1, 2011 -- a great look back at where we were and then compare to where we are. The photographs bring back great memories. In fact, this is one of the few presentations that really shows some nice shots of Williston -- even if there are only a few: hiring all positions; McDonald's; pickup truck on a snowy road.
DeleteVery, very nice. Lots of great memories.
I think of all the roughnecks who work two weeks on, and then fly home for two weeks off, and then back to their "adopted" state.

My birthday is August 14th. Just saying.
From the well file/logs it appears the Zenergy Patsy (20689) was drilled
ReplyDeleteabout 70 feet below the top of the Pronghorn/Three Forks. This would make
it a "second bench" Three Forks. The Patsy is located about 4 miles east
southeast of the Continental Charlotte "second" and "third" bench Three
Forks wells. The Patsy showed a nice IP for this zone and adds to the
Three Forks potential in the central basin.
Thank you. I appreciate that. It's hard to keep up with all this, and, although I know of the benches, I don't have a feeling yet for the foot markers for the four benches.
DeleteHopefully over time the operators (or the geologists' reports) provide more clarity with regard to which "bench" in the Three Forks is being targeted.
