Seven (7) new permits --
  • Operators: QEP (4), XTO (3)
  • Fields: Grail (McKenzie), Antelope (McKenzie)
  • Comments: the four QEP Grail wells will be sited in section 15-149-95. This is strange. There is/was one short lateral sited in that section -- #16856. This was a Helis well. The frack was aborted after one stage. The plan was to come back and re-frack. There is no evidence that this well was ever fracked after that aborted one attempt. This well produced about 83K in four years (it was spud and tested in 2008, and taken off-line in December, 2011 (only two days of production in December, 2011). That's a pretty good well for a) being a short lateral; and, b) not being fracked. I did not find any reason why the decision was to plug and abandon the well. So, now QEP will site two wells in this section. One completed Moberg well ends in this section (begins in section 22; there is a parallel well on DRL status.
Wells coming off the confidential list were posted earlier; see sidebar at the right.

Note the Rolfsrud well. Sited in section 36 which explains the "14X-36F." But the 14X must mean there are 14 Rolfsrud wells planned for this group.

The OX USA IPs are typical of OXY USA wells.
