Hess With Five More BB-Olson Permits In Blue Buttes Oil Field -- April 23, 2021

California: the "unwelcome" mat is out. Link here.  Let's see who blinks first. Perhaps the refineries should be the first "to go." Just saying. If the refiners stay, all California is doing is displacing the production. Later, the state will do an investigation to try to find out why gasoline prices are rising.

Five new permits, #38272 - #38276, inclusive:

• Operator: Hess
• Field: Blue Buttes (McKenzie)

• 38272, loc, Hess, BB-Olson-LW-150-95-08H-1, Blue Buttes, 325 FSL 1998 FWL
• 38273, loc, Hess, BB-Olson-150-95-09H-5, Blue Buttes, 325 FSL 2031 FWL,
• 38274, loc, Hess, BB-Olson-150-95-09H-4, Blue Buttes, 325 FSL 2064 FWL,
• 38275, loc, Hess, BB-Olson-150-95-09H-3, Blue Buttes, 325 FSL 2097 FWL,

• note how close the surface hole locations are from each other: 33' apart from each other. Normally I expect to see 50'-separation, occasionally 40'-separation. It's possible other pads have wells sited this closely together but I had not noticed it before.
