Reminder to self: in addition to the three Panzer wells, White Butte has two Meerkat wells. 

April 15, 2017: #21387, Panzer 4-20MLH; another frack, stimulated 9/25/16 -- Three Forks; 22 stages; 2.6 million lbs; the sundry form dated 12/06/16 says that "this is a dual lateral. Currently, only the second lateral (SW Three Forks lateral) has been fractured and is producing. A revised completion report will be submitted once the second lateral is fractured."

***********************************************

February 4, 2016: in the note below, I noted that the Panzer wells/permits were the only three permits for White Butte; today I noted that White Butte has five permits. To the three Panzer wells noted below, add these two:
  • 18123, 1,112, White Butte, Meerkat 1-12H, Big Bend, t8/09; cum 313K 2/20;
  • 18124, 670, White Butte, Meerkat 1-7H, Big Bend, t8/09; cum 256K 2/20;
  • according to a sundry form these two wells were transferred to White Butte Oil Operations, LLC, from Slawson Exploration, letter dated December 2, 2015.
    • #18123 a simple single lateral
    • however, #18124, December 24, 2013: a request to re-enter the original well and drill a second lateral; API: 33-061-01038; FrackFocus shows a single frack, 4/17-18/2014 (this is most likely the frack of the second lateral)

February 4, 2016: frack data -- the frack data is now available for all six horizontal laterals from the  three Panzer wells.
21385
first lateral: 3/11/15 -- 20 stages; 2.5 million lbs; middle Bakken
second lateral: 9/26/16 -- 20 stages, 2.9 million lbs; Three Forks 

21386
first lateral: 3/06/15 -- 32 stages; 2 million lbs, middle Bakken
second lateral: 9/22/16 --20 stages; 2.7 million lbs; Three Forks
21387
first lateral: 3/09/15 -- 20 stages; 2.8 million lbs; Three Forks B1 (no typo)
second lateral: 9/26/16 -- 22 stages, 2.6 million lbs; Three Forks (no typo)

This screen shot says this is diagram for #21385, but it was with the file report for #21387. This schematic is in both the #21385 and the #21387 file report:


October 6, 2015: These are still the only three White Butte permits/wells (October 6, 2015):
  • 21385, 2,221, White Butte, Panzer 1-20MLH, Antelope field, Sanish pool (Three Forks), 320-acre spacing; dual stacked laterals, t4/15; cum 128K 9/17;
  • 21386, 1,905, White Butte, Panzer 2-20MLH, Antelope field, Sanish pool (Three Forks), 320-acre spacing; dual stacked laterals, t4/15; cum 153K 9/17;
  • 21387, 2,502, White Butte, Panzer 4-20MLH, Antelope field, Sanish pool (Three Forks), 320-acre spacing; dual stacked laterals, t4/15; cum 95K 9/17; off line almost all of 7/15; no production 8/15; 
There is no explanation in the file report why #21387 is off-line; there are no wells in the area that are being fracked or drilled.

Instead of re-writing everything, I'm simply going to cut and paste earlier postings regarding this well.


First, May 5, 2015:
The White Butte Oil Panzer wells were originally Slawson permits, 320-acre spacing units; approved back in late August, 2011; in early 2014, Slawson requested that the permit be amended to allow for an additional lateral and to rename #21385, Panzer 1-20MLH. On October 10, 2013, the the three Panzer wells were transferred to White Butte from Slawson.

The narrative for the 1-20MLH is not yet available (unless I missed it).

The 2-20MLH is described as a single section dual-lateral consisting of two 4,504' - 5,234' long laterals drilled to the south. The first lateral accessing the second bench of the Three Forks was completed on November 11, 2014; while the second lateral that penetrated the middle Bakken was completed November 27, 2014. 

The second curve was landed at 10,972 feet into the middle Bakken, after drilling the Three Forks lateral and then coming back and milling a window in the casing of the vertical hole. 

While drilling the dual-lateral well, the initial curve was landed into the deepest of the two targeted intervals.

Panzer 4-20MLH is a single-section, dual-lateral accessing the first bench of the Three Forks; it appears the second lateral was also in the first bench of the Three Forks. 

I believe these are the only three White Butte Oil Operations wells in North Dakota at this time.  

White Butte Oil Operations, LLC, is a North Dakota Foreign Limited-Liability Company which filed on June 4, 2014. The Registered Agent for this company is located in Bismarck, ND; the company's principal address is in Wichita, KS. Its address is 727 N Waco Ave Ste 400, Wichita, KS.

Slawson Exploration has an address at 727 N. Waco Ste 400, Wichita, KS 67203. 
Second, from April 1, 2015:
.... the well is located on a 3-well pad approximately 12 miles southwest of New Town, North Dakota...
... consisting of two 4,504 - 5,234' long laterals drilled to the south; the first later accessing the TF 2 was completed November 11, 2014; the second lateral penetrated the Middle Bakken was completed November 27, 2014; the second curve was landed at 10,972 feet into the Middle Bakken, after drilling the Three Forks lateral and then coming back and milling a window in the casing of the vertical hole; the initial curve was landed into the deepest of the two targeted intervals; very little background gas (20 - 50 units) were noted in the first half of the first lateral; lack of permeability and porosity suggested that a strong response to hydraulic fracturing will be needed to unlock the TF 2. Despite the low levels of drilling gas, other wells from the area drawing from the Sanish pool have performed admirably. The ideal target zone (Middle Bakken) was defined as a 20-foot interval; background gas much higher at 1,000 to 1,500 units; even averaging 2,500 units during connections. Summary: the Panzer 2-20MLH was the first of 3 wellheads with 6 total lateral objectives to be compled on the panzer pad, with the cmoplete dual-lateral well reaching completion onf November 27, 2014. The TF2 appears to be less promising than the middle Bakken in this area. The spacing unit is 320 acres; this was originally a Slawson permit; this permit has been renewed at least three times; original Slawson permit was dated 9/1/11.
Completion data:
  • Lateral 1: TD = 15,486; OH interval from 10,948 feet (top) to 15,409 feet (bottom); KOP, 10,196 feet
  • Lateral 2: TD = 15,265, OH interval from 10,635 feet (top) to 15,183 feet (bottom); KOP, 10,072 feet
Lateral 2: 32 stages; 2 million lbs sand, middle Bakken lateral, 3/6/15;

Schemiatic:


A few things to note:
  • the frack data for lateral 1, the Three Forks 2nd bench was not in the file as of June 13, 2015
  • the production profile says this comes from the Sanish Pool, though the second lateral is definitely the Middle Bakken; I associate "Sanish" with Three Forks
  • the production profile shows only one formation, the "Sanish"; it will be interesting to see if production from this well is broken out by each lateral, or if combined as if "one" well
An older post regarding this 3-well pad, December 14, 2015:
  • 21385, 2,221, White Butte Oil Operations, LLC, Panzer 1-20MLH, Antelope-Sanish, t4/15; cum 171K 12/19; off line 1/20;
  • 21386, 1,905, White Butte Oil Operations, LLC, Panzer 2-20MLH, Antelope-Sanish, t4/15; cum 277K 10/19; off line 10/19
  • 21387, 2,502 White Butte Oil Operations, LLC, Panzer 4-20MLH, original permit for a Three Forks well but name change suggesting a middle Bakken well; in January, 2014, along with the name change (from TF to middle Bakken), Slawson also requested a revision "to allow for an additional lateral, would submit a revised plan for a single lateral plan"; in July, 2014, the thee Panzer wells were transferred to White Butte Oil from Slawson; the business address for Slawson and White Butte were identical, 1675 Broadway, Suite 1600, Denver, CO.; and that connects the last dot.
Also, from that link, note: In the original post on the Antelope Field, I wrote:
Antelope Field is an irregularly-shaped rectangular field, almost entirely within the reservation, on the east end of the northeast McKenzie County sweet spot in the Bakken. It is about two townships in size. It is of interest due to the fact that EOG plans to place 6 wells on a 320-acre spacing unit in this field.

It is interesting how things work out: in this immediate area, there are only three sections with 320-acre spacing: section 32-152-94; section 17-151-94; and section 20-15-94. When you expand the NDIC GIS map, you can find a few more such spacing units in: section 16-152-94; section 24-151-92; section 20-152-93, and you have to expand to almost the entire map to see additional such units: 320-acre drilling units in the Bakken are few and far between. It looks like most of them are inside the reservation. This puts things into perspective.
Graphics at many of the linked posts; I won't re-post them here.

    This NDIC number is actually 21386

      (I corrected the file number; I had it wrong but it should be correct now.)
