A Moment Of Reminiscing ... The Bryce Wells

... and maybe a little bit of bragging. Smile.

On February 18, 2010, almost four years ago, I suggested that a relatively quiet / inactive area in the Bakken might just prove to be a "sweet spot." It's a bit of fun to go back and read that note:

"... in the area where this well is located you will note that there is not much past activity there, but there are about 22 wells currently on the confidential list in this area. The oil fields involved: the Sand Creek, the Keene, and the Westberg. Bryce 31-5H was in the Westberg field."

Talk about an understatement. This area -- the Westberg -- is competing with the Banks oil field for some of the best wells outside the Sanish/Parshall. 

Burlington Resources' Bryce wells are going to be very, very interesting. [Note: the American Eagle Bryce wells are located nowhere near the BR Bryce wells.]

To date, the BR Bryce wells:

• 23739, 2,895, BR, Bryce 34-8TFH, t11/13; cum 425K 1/20;
• 23738, 2,899, BR, Bryce 24-8MBH, t11/13; cum 345K 1/20;
• 23737, 2,712, BR, Bryce 24-8TFH, t12/13; cum 287K 1/20;
• 23736, 1,643, BR, Bryce 41-5TFH, t10/14; cum 192K 1/20;
• 23735, 2,974, BR, Bryce 11-5MBH, t11/13; cum 334K 1/20; off line most  11/18 - 12/18; off line as of 9/19; back on line 11/19;
  
• 23734, 2,485, BR, Bryce 11-5TFH, t11/13; cum 296K 1/20;
• 18177, IA/AB-->A/1,844, BR, Bryce 31-5H, t10/09; cum 255K 12/18; minimal production since 9/13; very minor amounts as recently as 3/14; sundry form received October 17, 2016: stuck coil tubing; commodity prices too low to justify fishing; will TA this well until commodity prices justify fishing; interesting, interesting -- back on "A" status of 10/18 with one bbl of oil "run" in 10/18; interestingly enough, one day in 5/19 but no production; still inactive, 9/19; active as of 11/19, but only one day each month;
  

Note that four of the six Bryce wells target the Three Forks.
