Updates
December 29, 2013: in the original post I note that Chesapeake has finally made it official -- abandoning one of its wells. After posting that, a reader sent me this:
All of their wells are plugged except for the Hutzenbiler well, which they apparently sold to Williston Exploration. W.E. has a sign at the entrance. I live in the area and have been to all of the wells. W.E. also is on the January hearing to set up spacing for a vertical Tyler well off of this pad.This confirms, January, 2014, NDIC dockets:
- 21608, Williston Exploration, establish a 160-acre unit, a vertical well, Tyler, Stark

- 21135, DRY, Chesapeake, Decker 26-138-97 A 1H, Three Forks, wildcat; completed 10/17/2013 -- I guess someone just forgot about sending in the report. It's hard to say it was "dry" -- they reached total depth, but never fracked it. Samples were very poor, so unlikely to be economic; they cut their losses.
