Hess Will Report Four Nice BB-State Wells In Blue Buttes -- January 22, 2022

Back in August, 2021, we noted that these wells were being drilled by Hess. Now we're starting to see some production numbers (actually, "runs" to be correct / more specific).

The wells:

• 36523, conf, Hess, BB-State A-151-95-1615H-4, Blue Buttes, 33-053-09083,

These wells are still on confidential status. Look at the graphic. Where are the horizontals going to run? Here's the graphic, what do you think? To the east? To the northwest? To the southwest?

Some might think they might squeeze these wells into the stand-up 1280-acre drilling unit, but look at all that "white space" to the east (right). That's the most likely direction the horizontals will run.

Is there any way to "confirm" this?

Zoom in:

Yup. Check status of #18104, and #35448.

Note: both wells were taken off line for a month or so to coincide with neighboring wells being completed.

But isn't this interesting; the wells are on the confidential list, but they went on confidential list recently. The permits, the drilling history, everything but frack data and production data is available at the file reports, and yes, the horizontals will run east, into sections 15 / 16-151-95 as noted in the second graphic.
