Application of XTO Energy Inc. for an order authorizing the drilling, completing and producing of a total of ten wells on each existing 1280-acre spacing unit in the following sections in Siverston-Bakken, McKenzie County.

In T.151N., R.98W:
  • Sections 13 and 24; 
  • Sections 14 and 23; 
  • Sections 15 and 22; 
  • Sections 25 and 36; 
  • Sections 26 and 35; and, 
  • Sections 27 and 34,
In T.150N., R.98W.:
  • Sections 1 and 12; 
  • Sections 2 and 11; 
  • Sections 3 and 10;

  • Sections 13 and 24; 
  • Sections 14 and 23; 
  • Sections 15 and 22; 
  • Sections 16 and 21; 
  • Sections 25 and 36; 
  • Sections 28 and 33;

  • Sections 1 and 12.
In T.149N., R.97W:
  • Sections 5 and 8; and, 
  • Sections 6 and 7. 
I count 30 1280-acre spacing units.

Ten wells x 30 units = 300 wells.

In addition:
  • 20662, XTO, amend Siverston-Bakken, establish an overlapping 1280-acre unit, 10 wells; and establish an overlapping 2560-acre unit, 1 well; McKenzie;
  • 20663, XTO, Siverston, complete 10 wells on a 640-acre unit, McKenzie
I count 139 permits issued for Siverston Field to date. Of those 139 permits, 10 have been permanently canceled and 2 wells are inactive) bringing the number of wells on active, drl, conf status to about 127. 

For archival purposes, this is what the Siverston oil field looks like now. It will be interesting to see what it looks like in 10 years:
