Random Update On Activity In The Parshall

A reader noted this some time ago; it's fascinating. I report on it periodically.

One can pretty much divide the prolific EOG-owned Parshall oil field in half: the north half outside the reservation, and the south half inside the reservation. Again, a reader first noted this. I'm just the messenger. Don't blame me.

In the south half, inside the reservation:

• no (0) rigs actively drilling
• one (1) well on DRL status
• four (4) wells on CONF status

In the north half, outside the reservation:

• six (6) rigs actively drilling
• not less than 5 wells on DRL status
• no less than 21 wells on CONF status 

It may strictly be due to the fact that the wells in the north are much better than the wells in the south, but the difference in activity is striking.
