Closer Look At Slawson Case For Three Wells In A 320-Acre Drilling Unit -- November 21, 2019

I'm posting this note for a couple of reasons. The main reason: I'm just curious what this 320-acre drilling unit looks like right now. Right now, it appears there is only one well (#18870), possibly two wells (if there is a second well, it's still confidential), permitted for 320-acre spacing. The others in the graphic below are 1280-acre spacing or possibly greater if a section line well.

From The December, 2019, NDIC hearing dockets, again, this is a case, not a permit:

• 28164, Slawson, Big Bend-Bakken, three wells in an existing 320-acre unit, W/2 section 10-151-92, Mountrail County

For newbies: Slawson seeks permission from the North Dakota regulators for three wells in an existing 320-ace (half-section) unit as defined above: the west half of section 10 in T151N-R92W.

This is what that section looks like right now before the additional three wells.

If the commission agrees, there will be three wells (horizontals) spaced at 320 acres, in the drilling unit highlighted above.

The wells.

I don't know for sure, but these two will likely run to the east, under the lake/river:

• 37161, conf, Slawson, Pike Federal 2 SLH, Big Bend,
• 37160, conf, Slawson, Motune Federal 1-10-15H, Big Bend,

 The Periscope Federal wells will likely run to the east, under the lake/river:

• 36472, conf, Slawson, Periscope Federal 4-10-7TFH, Big Bend,
• 36471, conf, Slawson, Periscope Federal 2-10-11-12H, Big Bend,
• 36469, conf, Slawson, Periscope Federal 5-10-7TFH, Big Bend,
• 36470, conf, Slawson, Periscope Federal 8-10-11-12H, Big Bend,
• 36473, conf, Slawson, Periscope Federal 9-10-7TFH, Big Bend,
• 36468, conf, Slawson, Periscope Federal 3-10-11-12H, Big Bend,

The Moray Federal wells run north-south; most of the wells on the six-well pad will run south and not into this half-section:

• 18870, 1,042, Slawson, Moray Federal 1-10H, Van Hook, t9/10; cum 322K 9/19;
• 36329, not identified on the graphic above, but a sister well to #18870, conf, Slawson, Moray Federal 5-10TFH,

I think, at one time, I had every Blondie CD released in the USA. And now they are lost. Too many moves. I've collected three or four album covers. If I had a big enough house, the album covers would be framed and hung. This song -- the tune/rhythm/Blondie sound -- maybe not the lyrics -- I don't know -- brings back a lot of memories.
