It Can Be Done

Say what you want, but if the infrastructure is there, and if the operator "knows" natural gas, it can be done (assuming I'm reading things correctly; I do make errors quite often so check for yourself to see if I got this right).

 

Look at the Hess well below: 

• produced almost 13,000 bbls of oil in the first seven days of production
• captured every bit of natural gas from day one; no flaring; sold it all

This really is pretty spectacular. 

 

A lot of roughnecks should be very, very proud. A Nabors rig. The big rig spud January 3, 2013; ceased drilling on January 19, 2013 -- 16 days. Neset Consulting -- Geologist; middle Bakken; the lateral was started on January 14; the frack data appears not to be posted yet.

This well is on a 4-well pad; there are six horizontals in this spacing unit. The spacing unit is just a few miles west of Whiting's Sanish field.
