Random Note on Hess Wells in Antelope Field

There must be a lot of great stories from the Williston Basin over the years.

Today, in the daily activity report, Hess was issued four permits for section 2-152-95 in Antelope oil field.

There were already six wells in that section, most older Madison wells, most now plugged and abandoned.

Two notable Madison wells in that section:

• 1571, 27/A, Hess, Antelope-Madison Unit D-519HR, Antelope, t12/57; cum 680K 12/12; still producing after 55 years;
• 2035, 181/PA, Hess, Antelope-Madison Unit C-520, Antelope, t2/59; cum 731K 9/90;

Neither of these wells are even on the "Monster Wells" page simply because of so many incredible Madison wells.
