Another Twenty-Two (22) Wells Proposed For Stockyard Creek -- NDIC May, 2014, Hearings

From the NDIC agenda, May, 2014

Case 22445:
Application of Slawson Exploration Co., Inc. for an order authorizing the drilling, completing and producing of a total of eleven wells on each [of two] existing 960-acre spacing unit[s] described as Section 13 and the E/2 of Section 14; and Section 15 and the W/2 of Section 14, T.154N., R.99W., Stockyard Creek-Bakken Pool, Williams County, ND.
The case calls for two 960-acre spacing units (1.5 sections each, or a total of three sections). The sections involved: all of sections 13, 14, and 15 - 154-99 in Stockyard Creek-Bakken.

This is what those three sections look like now:

This is a description of those three sections (13, 14, and 15, running east to west at the time of the screen shot:

In these three sections in Stockyard Creek, there are several completed (A) wells, a few wells on DRL status, and several wells on confidential status.

The various wells were permitted for various spacing units, to include: 640-acre, 960-acre, and 1280-acre. To date, these sections are not part of any overlapping 2580-acre units, but the three sections are part of 1280-acre units; the 960-acre units were awaiting approval/order by NDIC as of May, 2014.

This is the mineral acreage assigned for each well. There are three sections (15, 14, and 13, running west to east). Some horizontals are in one section only; some in two sections; none cross three sections to date.

Format: permit number, status, sections the horizontal runs through (heel-to-toe), acreage per sundry form:
