Location Of EOG's Mont Well Pad -- West-Northwest Of Williston -- November 8, 2017

More on this later.

EOG has permits for four more wells on this pad. Based on their nomenclature, they will run north to south.

Comments:
  • I normally don't think of EOG being this far west of Williston. This is great news for mineral owners out in that area
  • good operators keep looking for new locations -- and even though EOG already has one well out here, it is obvious they are interested in more than just the Parshall oil field in the Bakken
  • I've always assumed operators number their "plans" chronologically, starting with #1 and moving up from there; I don't think they number them randomly; note the chronological numbers in the four new permits: #12, #13, and #14. That suggests to me that EOG has plans for at least 14 middle Bakken Mont wells -- not that they will all be drilled, but they have file folders for at least fourteen Mont middle Bakken wells; jumping to #102 suggests a different target horizon, most likely the upper Three Forks; for me this means at least two Three Forks wells (I assume many, many more)
