Flashback: From The Archives -- From The Hearing Dockets In December, 2009, Ten Years Ago

From the archives, and for the archives.

Back on November 25, 2009, I posted this:
Case (not permit) 11939: EOG wants permission to drill up to three horizontal wells for each 640-acre spacing unit (that is three wells in each section: one in the upper TFS, one in the lower TFS, and one in the middle Bakken) for the following:
Sections 1 - 36 in 151N-90W (36 sections); and,
Sections 1 - 36 in 152N-90W (36 sections); and, 
Sections 1 - 6, 8 - 17, and 19 - 36 in 153N-90W (34 sections); and,
Sections 1 - 36 in 154N-90W (36 sections); and,
Sections 25 - 28, 31 - 36 in 155N-90W (10 sections); and,
Sections 1, 10 - 15, 23 - 26, and 36 in 151N-91W (12 sections); and,
Sections 1, 2, 11 - 15, 22 - 26, 35, 36 in 152N-91W (14 sections); and,
Sections 5 - 8, 17 - 20, 29 - 32 in 153N-89W (12 sections).
Does this add up to 190 sections? And is EOG asking permission to drill three horizontal wells in each of these sections? If so, that's 570 wells and that's just one case (albeit, perhaps the biggest case).

I may have misread this, or may not understand it, but that seems to be what EOG is requesting.

You can access the full 19 pages of the December 17, 2009, docket at https://www.dmr.nd.gov/oilgas/dockets/2009/docket121709.pdf
Since then, a lot of 1280-acre units.

The graphic: the graphic below is the "general" area of interest. This is how it looks today.
