Random Update on Oasis/CLR Activity In Area of Newest Gusher in Camp Oil Field -- The Bakken, The Williston Basin, North Dakota

Oasis reported a huge well earlier today. The well was in Camp oil field. That field caught my eye June 18, 2011, with the report of another huge Oasis well.

This is the Oasis well that came off the confidential list this weekend:

• 22428, 4,341, Oasis, Casey 5200 13-30B, Camp, looks like a great well; t7/12; cum 91K 11/12; all natural gas is being captured and sold; this well sold >90,000 bbls of crude oil in the first five months of production, and around 100,000 boe during the same time period.

To the best of my knowledge, this well still holds the record for a reported IP in North Dakota:

• 20589, 4,815, Whiting, Tarpon Federal 21-4H, Twin Valley, t10/11; cum 283K 11/12;

Some comments:

• note the balance of middle Bakken wells and Three Forks wells
• in some areas, the Three Forks is much thicker than the middle Bakken
• it is in this general area that CLR suggests there are four benches in the Three Forks
• natural gas pipelines are reaching these wells and, to date, capacity meets demand
• back in 2006, Oasis drilled a horizontal Madison well that continues to produce
