Pleasant Hill

I had a bit of trouble telling for sure, whether the Pleasant Hill oil field was in Whiting's Tarpon Prospect or in Whiting's Hidden Bench prospect. A reader, elsewhere, suggests it is in Whiting's Hidden Bench prospect, and he is correct. One can pull up a Whiting presentation here and compare their graphics with the NDIC GIS map server. It looks like Pleasant Hill is on the northeast edge of Whiting's rather large Hidden Bench prospect, McKenzie County, just to the southwest of Watford City. The reader is correct; the Tarpon Prospect is farther to the northeast, closer to the river.

Pleasant Hill has become a bit more active recently. It is a relatively small-to-medium size field for the Bakken, 18 sections, perfectly rectangular, 3 x 6 sections.

The center of the field is particularly active with two rigs on site and several 2-well pads and one 4-well pad:

• 25354, drl, Whiting, Mork Trust 21-17-5H,
• 25355, drl, Whiting, Mork Trust 21-17-4H,
• 25356, drl, Whiting, Mork Trust 21-17-3H,
• 25357, drl, Whiting, Mork Trust 21-17-2H,

 The 2-well pads:

• 26023, rig on site, Whiting, Mork Farm 24-8-2H,
• 26024, drl, Whiting, Mork Farm 24-8H,

• 26483, rig on site, Whiting, Cherry State 31-16H,
• 26484, drl, Whiting, Cherry State 31-16-2H,

• 21257, 2,057, Whiting, Cherry State 21-16H, t12/12; cum 68K 10/13;
• 22723, 489, Whiting, Cherry State 21-16TFH, 29 stages; 2 million lbs; t12/12; cum 18K 10/13;
• 26568, drl, Whiting, Cherry State 21-16-2H,

Two older, producing/active wells in this immediate area:

• 19847, 886, Whiting, Johnson 34-8H, t10/11; cum 69K 10/13;
• 22066, 1,329, Whiting, Mork Trust 21-17H, t5/12; cum 88K 10/13;

And one permitted location:

• 27082, see above, Whiting, Johnson 34-8-2H,
