Update On Bruin E&P -- Huge "Thank You" To Readers -- January 23, 2018

Updates

Later, 5:05 p.m. CT: ironically / coincidentally on the day a reader asked about Bruin E&P, it just so happened that NDIC released the wells/permits that were transferred from HRC (Halcon) to Bruin E&P

Original Post

 

Bruin E&P is tracked at the "Bakken Operators" page.

A reader asked about Bruin in a comment elsewhere. Another reader provided additional input:

Halcon is still listed as HRC Operating at the NDIC. The transfer of wells apparently hasn’t happened yet. It will be interesting to see if Bruin starts another rig when the transfer does happen. Bruin does have a wellsite permitted and built on acreage it picked up from OXY-Limerock.

From another reader:

I don’t know much about Bruin’s company structure/origin. However, I have a close relationship with many of their field supervisors and personnel here in the state. They picked up some good, undervalued property with the Limerock and Halcon acquisitions. 

They aim to develop this average with modern drilling and completion techniques. My main interest is the experimental Sadowsky 14 Bakken well they will be drilling just north of Dickinson. No Bakken well in this area has ever been drilled and completed using modern high-intensity sliding sleeve techniques. 

Most Bakken (read Oxy/Anchutz) wells north of Dickinson were open hole “suicide” fracs in crookedly drilled holes. They are going in knowing they have undervalued acreage, with the Bakken is surprisingly thick north of Dickinson.

Bruin has some great engineers and supervisors on their team. I look forward to their endeavors going into the future. 

My notes:

• Bruin currently has 62 file reports/permits/wells. Of the 62, only one new location, as noted by the reader above, a Sadowsky well:
• 34254, loc, Bruin, Sadowsky 14-11-2H, SESE 14-141-96, St Anthony, Bakken-Pronghorn; 1280-acre drilling unit; est length to TD = 21,002
• HRC has 432 file reports/permits/wells
• LOC = 33
• A = 302
• DRL = 6
• NC = 9
• Confidential = 30
• IA = 9
• PA = 4
• DRY = 4
• AB = 4
• PNC = 30 (many of these may be likely to HRC exiting the Bakken; if so, these locations could be re-permitted by the new owner
• TA = 2
