Idle Chatter -- Another Great Bakken Well -- Reunion Bay, Bakken, Williston Basin

I was curious about this well, which came off the confidential list over the weekend:
  • 26462, 2,224, MRO, Myers 24-35H, Reunion Bay, t3/14; cum -- 
Reunion Bay is another great oil field. It is located inside the reservation. I've never described Reunion Bay oil field; must have been an oversight. Actually, I think it was just too "busy" for me to capture all that was going on in the field.

There are currently about six wells sited in the same section as the Myers 24-35H, including middle Bakken and Three Forks wells. They will all be nice wells. This one caught my attention:
  • 21466, 2,448, MRO, William USA 31-2H, Reunion Bay, middle Bakken, 30 stages, 2.4 million lbs sand; the vertical hole was begun on February 12, 2013; the curve building began February 18, 2013, just six days later. The lateral section was begun on February 21, 2013; it reached TD on February 27, 2013.
This was an interesting data point I had not seen before: with regard to "gas" at depth, 100 units is equal to 1% methane in air) -- that may or may not be useful at your next cocktail party.

Background gas increased to approx 100 units toward the end of the curve; the flare ranged from 1 to 15 feet and varied between continuous and intermittent. Background gas increased around 12,000' MD and ranged from 100 to 900 units for the duration of the lateral. The highest gas peak was a gas show of 3,642 units at 12,815' MD.

The middle Bakken member was about 44' thick in total.

  1. Take a look at the Tara Jo wells right next door in drilling unit Sec 1&12. I sent you a comment some months ago on these wells. These have been a very pleasant surprise. They have been almost as productive as our wells in the Spotted Horn unit 150-94-8,17,19,20!!! It appears this side of the Nesson Anticline is producing well.

  2. Methane would rarely be useful at any cocktail party!
