Random Update Of A Sinclair Pad In McKenzie County, Lone Butte Oil Field -- May 9, 2015

A reader just sent me this update of a Sinclair pad just on the other side of the northwest corner of Dunn County:

I was at the Forrest USA/Yauch/Diamond/Horovitz pad yesterday.

The Forrest is an existing well Sinclair got from Marathon.

Yauch was fracked and has produced already.

They brought in frac tanks and there's currently a workover rig on location pulling tubing on the other 2 wells. There's a frack string on location so I'm assuming they're running it in after they pull the tubing.

The wells:

• 19718, 205, Sinclair/MRO, Forest USA 14-2H 24 stages , t8/11; cum 76K 3/15; this well is currently off-line; it looks like the frack was interrupted;  first frack 5 stages, 600K on 8/24/2011; operator completed 3 more stages, about 200K on 1/2/2012; and then completed 17 stages 1.8 million lbs on 7/25/12; IP after all these stages, 941;
• 24568, 1,805, Sinclair, Yauch 03-04-1H, 33 stages; 3.5 million lbs sand/ceramic, t6/14; cum 42K 3/15; also off-line now;
• 24567, SI/NC, Sinclair, Horovitz 10-09-1H, 
• 24566, SI/NC, Sinclair, Diamond 11-12-1H, this well came off the confidential list about a week ago, May 2, 2015;

Note the great oil fields in the immediate area: Lost Bridge, Little Knife, Haystack Butte. One can tell this is a relatively quiet area at the moment; it is southeast of Watford City. I think the horizontals are correctly labeled but my usual disclaimer/warning pertains.

 Ebola Epidemic May Be Over In Liberia

Fox News is reporiting: forty-two days since last confirmed Ebola case in Liberia. Incubation period is 21 day; two such periods constitutes the benchmark for declaring an Ebola epidemic over.

The World Health Organization on Saturday called the milestone a "monumental achievement for a country that reported the highest number of deaths in the largest, longest, and most complex outbreak since Ebola first emerged in 1976."
