Original Post 

Enerplus is drilling its "Stringed Instrument" pad sited in Squaw Creek, sited in section 3-149-94, running west to east, into Mandaree oil field.

The pad:

• 37029, drl/NC, Enerplus, Fiddle 149-94-02C-01H-TF, Mandaree, producing, huge well;
  
• 37028, drl/NC, Enerplus, Mandolin 149-94-02C-01H, Mandaree, producing, nice well;
  
• 37027, drl/NC, Enerplus, Cello 149-94-02C-01H-TF, Mandaree, producing, nice well;
  
• 37026, drl/NC, Enerplus, Guitar 149-94-02C-01H, Mandaree, producing, nice well;
  
• 37025, drl/NC-->loc/NC, Enerplus, Harp 149-94-02C-01H-TF, Mandaree, spud 1/6/20; TD 3/13/20; 83.5 drilling hours; that works out to 7 12-hour-segments; I think 5-12-hour segments is about the minimum in the Bakken; producing, nice well;
  
• 37024, drl/NC, Enerplus, Ukulele 149-94-02C-01H, Mandaree, producing, nice well;
  

In addition to this pad, there is another 2-well pad in the same drilling unit, but sited in section 2-149-94:

• 24962, 1,957, Enerpluse, Grassy Knoll 2-11H, Mandaree, t11/15; cum 405K 7/20; jump in production, 6/21; cum 437K 7/21;
  
• 24963, 1,936, Enerplus, Banjo 149-94-02B-01H TF, Mandaree, t11/15; cum 421K 7/20; perhaps a subtle jump in production, 6/21; cum 434K 7/21;
  

These wells all run west to east.

At the same time, a bit to the east, Enerplus is also drilling its "Precipitation Pad" with a rig on site for #35800.

• 35800, 930, Enerplus, Frost 149-93-07A-12H-TF-LL, Mandaree, t10/20; cum 152K 7/21; typical Bakken decline;

Enerplus' "Storm Pad" has been completed.

The "Precipitation Pad" and "Storm Pad" wells are being drilled east to west.

Most other wells in this area are being drilled north/south.
