Maybe "they've" been doing this for quite some time, but I just noticed it in the past month or so: file reports providing narratives for drilling more than one well in the same file report. Obviously, these are wells on the same pad.

Here is another example:

• 26234, 2,524, QEP, Moberg 2-18TH, Grail, one section, t11/13; cum 68K 3/14;

According to the narrative in the file report, Moberg 3-18BH and Moberg 2-18TH, located approximately 21 miles east of Watford City, are situated in Grail field. The intended targeted reservoir is the Middle Bakken Sandstone and the Three Forks Dolomite reservoirs of Grail field in the Williston Basin.

Moberg 3-18BH was spud September 17, 2013. TVD accomplished in 65.1 bit hours.
Moberg 2-18TH was spud October 1, 2013. TVD was accomplished in 87.5 hours.

Moberg 3-18BH: drilling of the curve began on September 13, 2013 (sic).
Moberg 2-18TH: drilling of the curve began on October 8, 2013.
My hunch: the typographical error should correct with a curve beginning on September 23 for Moberg 3-18BH.

Moberg 3-18BH: lateral operations began October 23; TD reached October 24 (sic). The lateral took 28.6 bit hours.
Moberg 2-18TH: lateral operations began October 14th; TD reached October 17; 51 bit ours.

Both horizontals were short laterals.

Result of the Three Forks Moberg well? Huge. Remember: this is a short lateral, something we don't see much of any more in the Bakken:

• 26234, 2,524, QEP, Moberg 2-18TH, Grail, one section, t11/13; cum 68K 3/14;

 This is going to be an incredible field before it's all over. Many of the wells in this screen shot are "Moberg" wells.

I used to track "Families" of wells but I'm not sure how useful that will be going forward; it is simply overwhelming. However, until I decide whether to continue tracking "Families" of wells, I will add "Moberg" to the list.
