Fourteen new permits, #37945 - #37958, inclusive, see daily activity report dated November 3, 2020:
- Operator: CLR
- Field: Elm Tree (McKenzie)
- Comments:
- CLR has permits for fourteen wells, all sited in NESW 14-153-94:
- the fourteen permits will be placed from 2506' FSL to 2515' FSL, and from 2420' FWL to 1900' FWL;
- fourteen wells will run in a single horizontal line from 2420' FWL to 1900' FWL; north to south, the northernmost will be only 15' from the southernmost; east-to-west, each well is 40' from each of its neighboring well. This is the closest I've seen surface well spacing in the Bakken; generally, the surface spacing is at least 50 feet (in one direction) and more than ten feet separation in 90° in corresponding direction;
- the wells:
- Brangus FIU (7)
- Brangus Federal (6)
- Charolais South Federal (1)
The graphics:
In the graphic below, I suggested that all Brangus wells will run north. Based on their names (FIU vs Federal), it's possible the FIU wells will run south and the Federal wells will run north.
