Two New Fields In The Williston Basin, North Dakota: Alexandria And Sioux Trail Oil Fields

There appear to be two relatively new fields in the Williston Basin, North Dakota. They are in Divide County, northeast of Grenora, and each is about one township in size:

• Alexandria: T161N-R100W (south of West Ambrose oil field)
• Sioux Trail: T160N-R101W (east of Fertile Valley oil field)

There are a few producing wells in each of those two fields, and the fields are in the NDIC well search database.

However, neither field is identified on the GIS map server.

There are four well files in Sioux Trail: Hunt (2) and North Plains Energy (2).

There are six well files in Alexandria: Hunt (4) and SM Energy (2).

Interestingly, there are two townships in the immediate area, just to the west of Alexandria:
T161N-R101W and T161N-R102W are not yet designated as a field.
