NP Resources Active In Beaver Creek-Bakken -- May 24, 2021

From the June, 2021, NDIC hearing dockets, two NP Resources cases of interest. Here's one of the two cases:

Case 28846: NP Resources, Beaver Creek-Bakken, establish a 320-acre unit; one vertical well; N/2 section 6-142-102, Billings County;

This is quite interesting. NP Resources already has three sites in the adjacent section, 1-142-103, on the confidential list, not yet producing, but recent:

• 30792, conf, NP Resources, 9210 Barkland 112-3H, Beaver Creek, look at that "112" number;
• 30793, conf, NP Resources, 9210 Barkland 112-1H, Beaver Creek, look at that "112" number;
• 30794, conf, NP Resources, 9210 Barkland 112-2H, Beaver Creek, look at that "112" number;

I assume the "112" number: sited in section 1; bottom hole terminates in section 12 to the south.

There's also an old dual lateral, #15762, that is plugged and abandoned.

And finally, the vertical well:

• 15428, Red River / Birdbear, 52/102, NP Resources, 9210 JV-P Barkland 1, Beaver Creek, t9/17/03 and 4/11/04; cum 79K (Red River) and cum 38K (Birdbear); the Duperow was also targeted in 2004, and was dry. Spacing: E/2 of NESE 1-142-103. 

Meanwhile, in the section in question, section 6-142-102, something similar:

• two old vertical wells, #14953, and #11698; and,
• three wells on confidential list, not yet producing;

The vertical wells:

• 11698, Red River, 502, NP Resources, 9210 JV-P Federal DM1, Beaver Creek, t1/86, cum 546K 3/21 (very little production currently); but 35 years old and holding the lease by production. Half-section (320-acre) spacing.
• 14953, Red River, AB/725, NP Resources, Federal DM1 9210 JV-P 2, Beaver Creek, t3/2000, cum 525K 7/18; off line 8/18 and currently AB. But still: 525K over 21 years. Half-section (320-acre) spacing.

The newer permits:

• 30661, conf, NP Resources, 9210 Beaver Creek 631-3H, Beaver Creek, look at that "631" number;
• 30662, conf, NP Resources, 9210 Beaver Creek 631-1H, Beaver Creek, look at that "631" number;
• 30663, conf, NP Resources, 9210 Beaver Creek 631-2H, Beaver Creek, look at that "631" number;

I assume the "631" number: sited in section 6; bottom hole terminates in section 31 to the north.
