Original Post

The nice well that CLR (#29366 -- see below) reported today in the Avoca oil field reminded me that I had never posted a stand-alone post on the Avoca oil field.

The Avoca oil field is a very small field, 8 sections, that cannot get any bigger. It sits smack dab between the highly prolific Stockyard Creek to the east, and the nice Catwalk field to the west (and just west of of that is Todd and Williston, the heart of the Bakken, if not necessarily the very best spot in the Bakken. The Stockyard Creek is turning out to be one of the best fields in the Bakken, and Avoca is immediately to the west.

Stony Creek is to the north, and Crazy Man Creek is to the south.

Avoca has been fairly inactive, and almost "dead" compared to Stockyard Creek, with the exception of activity in the northeast sections. All sections are held by production.
