Cedar Coulee Oil Field: A Sweet Spot In Two Sections -- September 4, 2015

Updates

December 4, 2020: CLR activity in this field, update.

Original Post

Cedar Coulee oil field, located in the far northwest corner of Dunn County, is a small rectangular oil field, two sections by eight sections = 16 total sections. The entire field is spaced at 1280 acres. Except. Except for two 640-acre drilling units.

Here is a screenshot from the NDIC GIS map server showing four sections of Cedar Coulee oil field. The two sections in brown (in Cedar Coulee) are the only two sections in Cedar Coulee spaced for 640 acres. All of the rest of the sections, shown in white, are spaced at 1280 acres. Most of Cedar Coulee is pretty quiet; all sections are held by production but generally with just one or two wells. (Again, note that only a small portion of Cedar Creek is included in the screen shot below.)

Look at the two sections in brown in Cedar Coulee, sections 9 and 16:


The wells in these two sections:



Note the production numbers; these are all short laterals. Some folks argue that long laterals, all things being equal, would have twice the production of a short lateral. I'm not sure I agree with that, but be that as it may, here are the numbers of some very, very good wells, being reported by two different companies:
