Original Post

 

Some nights I get so tired of the "woe is me" tone among all the oil bulls and all the negativity in the eastern press about the Bakken bust. Maybe I'm whistling past the cemetery but to me we're simply in the manufacturing stage which was predicted by Rolfstad some years ago. We just went into the manufacturing stage a year or two earlier than expected.

But what the roughnecks are doing completely blows me away.

Today, CLR reported an incredible well, one that was off my radar scope. I'm too tired to annotate the graphics so I will leave them as simple screenshots, maybe fill them in later.

For newbies: look at the length of these super-long laterals, or extended long laterals.
In the screen shot above,

• the nine horizontals running east to west are CLR's Rath Federal wells
• the eight horizontals running east to west are CLR's Corsican Federal wells
• the three horizontals running north to south cutting through the aforementioned Rath / Corsican wells are CLR's Margaurite wells

This is very clever. The Rath Federal and Corsican Federal wells would leave "orphan" oil in the eastern edge of the 1920-acre drilling units; these Margaurite wells capture that "orphan" oil.

All those horizontals running south to north at the far left (west) in the screenshot above are also CLR wells: Holstein Federal and Hendrickson Federal.

The Rath Federal wells are shown in the screenshot below:
