Eight (8) New Permits -- The Williston Basin, North Dakota, USA; Liberty Resources Reports A Nice Well

Active rigs: 180 (steady)

Eight (8) new permits --

• Operators: Oasis(6), CLR (2)
• Fields: Alkali Creek (Mountrail), Tyrone (Williams)
• Comments: Oasis permits are for a 4-well pad in Tyrone oil field, and a 2-well pad in Alkali Creek

Additional comments:

Here are the names of two of the Oasis wells (new permits:

• Dawson 5494 11-1 2T2
• Dawson 5494 11-1 3T3

My hunch is that one of these is targeting the 2nd bench of the lower Three Forks; the other is targeting the 3rd bench of the lower Three Forks.  

Wells coming off the confidential list were posted earlier; see sidebar at the right.

Wells coming off the confidential list on Thursday:

• 24030, 654, Fidelity, Larry 41-7H, Heart River, t3/13; cum 33K 7/13;
• 24216, 224, Baytex, Leo 5-8-161-97H 1XN, Frazier, t5/13; cum 18K 7/13;
• 24303, 554, Liberty Resources, Anderson 152-103-21-16-1H, Glass Bluff, t4/13; cum 30K 7/13;
• 24786, drl, KOG, Smokey 13-7-19-14H3M, Pembroke, no production data,
• 24808, drl, CLR, Wahpeton 10-16H2, Banks, no production data,
• 24928, drl, CLR, Tangsrud 11-1H1, Hayland, no production data

All three wells going to DRL status went to DRL status for operational reasons (multi-well pad drilling); this is not due to any backlog in fracking. NDIC says frack teams are ahead of drillers right now (in the most recent report, covering July, 2013).

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

Even this well has been producing for several months (and thus completed some time ago), the data was not posted until it came off the confidential list.
