Random Look At Case 20107 in The April Dockets

Case 20107: EOG, Clarks Creek-Bakken, 11 wells on an existing 1920-acre unit; 11 wells on an existing 1280-acre unit; 22 wells on an existing 2560-acre unit; McKenzie; 44 wells total.

********************

Now, about that 2560-acre spacing unit -- sections 6, 7, 18, and 19 - 151-94. There are already fourteen wells in that area: some are in 2560-acre spacing already; others are still ICO.

The following wells are already in this 2560-acre spacing unit: 20886, 20887, 20888; 20890, 20891, 20892; one mile to the west, still in Clarks Creek, and ICO spacing: 22962, 22963, 20330, 20331, 20329, 20332, 20333, 20334. Based on existing surrounding spacing units, it appears these will be 2560-acre spaced wells, also.

I might have this wrong; folks who have minerals in this area would correct me if a) I was wrong; and, b) anonymous commenting was permitted. And due to time constraints and fact I don't have minerals in the area (in fact, I have no minerals anywhere), I may not pursue this to any degree.

There are 6 wells in the 2560-acre spacing unit that EOG is planning on a putting 22 wells; in other words, another 16 wells in this 2560-acre spacing unit. 

Note that these wells were on-line less than the full 31 days in January, 2013. One was on-line for only four days. All wells are flaring some gas, but all are hooked up to a natural gas line. This suggests there are takeaway constraints, and the wells are being choked back. In addition, there were weather-related production issues in January, 2013, in North Dakota. The bottom line is that these wells are capable of producing more than what we see here.
