Case 25623

25623, CLR, Elm Tree-Bakken, 23 wells on an existing overlapping 2560-acre unit, sections 14/23/26/35-T153N-R94W (see graphic below), McKenzie County. Three graphics of this 4-section  (2560-acre) stand-up drilling unit. Note all the other pads in the immediate area. I did not check but I assume move of these are 1280-acre spaced wells.

Note: for newbies who might have a few wells in the better part of the Bakken, you, too, will participate in this many wells sometime in the future. The graphic does not include additional units that will permit wells to recover oil along section lines, so it is likely that there will eventually be even more wells in this area.
