Random Update Of An Enerplus Well In Antelope Oil Field -- May 16, 2015

In these posts, I often make typographical and factual errors. I correct them when I am alerted to them. If this information is important to you, go to the source.

The well that first caught my attention on this pad:

• 27591, 2,079, Enerplus, Monarch 152-94-32D-29H, 44 stages; 8.8 million lbs, a short lateral (one section / 640 acres); t12/14; cum 433K 10/18;

Target: C Zone in the middle Bakken. Trip gases as high as 3400 unis. Zones A, B, C, and E were discussed in the narrative. 

Sundry form received October 3, 2014, to place NGL units to reduce flaring, as well as a large-volume de-ethanizer (stabilizer unit).

This well is on a 5-well pad. The other wells:

• 27590, 1,608, Viceroy 152-94-32D-29H TF, one section / 640 acres, t12/14; cum 492K 10/18;
• 27589, 171 (no typo), Swallow Tail 152-94-32D-29H, Three Forks, 2nd bench, one section / 640 acres, 39 stages; 9.4 million lbs; t11/14; cum 456K 10/18;
• 27588, 1,867, Snapper 152-94-33C-28H, 1280 acres, t11/14; cum 428K 10/18;
• 27587, 2,188, Softshell 152-94-33C-28H TF, 1280 acres,  39 stages, 9.3 million lbs, t11/14; cum 727K 10/18;

Summary: it appears the "butterfly" wells on this 5-well pad will go directly north, and be 640-acre spacing. To date, there are three "butterfly" wells. The "turtle" wells will swing to the right (east) and go north, and be in 1280-acre spacing. There are two "turtle" wells on this 5-well pad so far. It appears that the wells will be fracked with 39 stages, using a huge amount of sand, in the range of 9.5 million lbs per sound. Although the Three Forks second bench had a low IP, it looks like it's a pretty good well.

The wells in question are on a 5-well pad in Antelope oil field. Note their relationship to Clarks Creek, an incredibly good field. Also note that this area is an unusual area in the Bakken with 640-acre spacing. I did not show it but many (most?) of these areas are 1280-acre spacing units. The arrows show that three of the wells will go north in 640-acre spacing, and two horizontals will swing to the east and go north in 1280-acre spacing.
