Random Look At The New Whiting Pankowski Permits -- April 17, 2015

A reader asked about the wells in these permits announced yesterday:

#31086 - WHITING OIL AND GAS CORPORATION, P PANKOWSKI 153-98-4-6-7-13H, LOT4 6-153N- 98W, WILLIAMS CO., 485' FNL and 875' FWL, DEVELOPMENT, TRUAX, 20783', 9-5/8 inch , 2263' Ground, API #33-105-04031 

#31087 - WHITING OIL AND GAS CORPORATION, P PANKOWSKI 153-98-4-6-7-13H3, LOT4 6-153N- 98W, WILLIAMS CO., 485' FNL and 905' FWL, DEVELOPMENT, TRUAX, 20703', 9-5/8 inch , 2263' Ground, API #33-105-04032 

#31088 - WHITING OIL AND GAS CORPORATION, P PANKOWSKI 153-98-4-6-7-13HA, LOT4 6-153N- 98W, WILLIAMS CO., 485' FNL and 935' FWL, DEVELOPMENT, TRUAX, 20964', 9-5/8 inch , 2264' Ground, API #33-105-04033 

#31089 - WHITING OIL AND GAS CORPORATION, P PANKOWSKI 153-98-4-6-7-14H3, LOT4 6-153N- 98W, WILLIAMS CO., 485' FNL and 965' FWL, DEVELOPMENT, TRUAX, 21103', 9-5/8 inch , 2264' Ground, API #33-105-04034

This is what the area looks like now with one Pankowski well producing. 

 

 

The purple-shaded area: all 2560-acre spacing. All of the sections in the graphic above (except maybe one) are also spaced at 1280-acre.

 

These new Pankowski wells will be in the same general area, but it appears the new wells will be about 500 feet closer to the north line of section 6 but about 600 more feet from the west line (correct me if I'm wrong, please).

• 20857, 1,312*/358**, Whiting/KOG, Pankowski 4-6H, Three Forks, 1100FNL 300FWL, 23 stages; 1.2 million lbs sand, t2/12; cum 162K 2/15;

*Sundry form received April 12, 2012. 23 stages, 1.2 million lbs sand.

** Scout ticket at the NDIC website. Sundry form received March 21, 2012. 13 stages, 494,000 lbs sand.

I think I'm correct on all this, but I may make errors. But from what I can tell, this first Pankowski well targeted the first bench of the Three Forks. 

The new wells are probably spaced at 1280-acres; will be sited in lot 4 / section 6 and will terminate in section 7. Based on their names, one will target the middle Bakken; two might target the third bench of the Three Forks; not sure what the "HA" targets.
