Lots Of Work Left In The Bakken -- March 23, 2022

Updates

March 24, 2022: see first comment. I brought it up here for easier searching / browsing: 

The Rolf 1 as well as The Gjorven 1 both completed drilling in the very early spring of 2011 and required significant cost and effort to get both rigs off and get the pads ready for frac.

They sit on 56th street. I can't tell you how many thousands of loads of Scoria were bladed out on 56th street between the Hartford 1 to the east going back west to Barney 1 fixing 56th street itself and the wells on it. I had two blades working on 56th street and we probably had 12 - 20 trucks hauling to us daily.

The Hartford, Gronfur and Barney were producing but shut in until we got the locations built back up to support truck traffic. If memory serves me correctly the rig on the Rolf went right down the street to the Rennerfeld 1 and the rig on the Gjorven likely went close as well so I'd have to say two rigs drilled that field.

I'm sure a lot of folks have forgot how bad that winter was and how devastating the thaw and runoff were. You had to be there for the duration to truly appreciate it.

At the same time there were rigs done drilling mudded in on the Rosenvold 1 and Gerhardsen 1 north of Wildrose in Divide County and a rig mudded in just NE of McGregor ND on the first Lawrence Omar Eco pad. Another on the Freddie 1 south of Noonan.

We worked on all these through the summer of 2011. Doing rig moves and drill pad clean offs was considerably easier the following years LOL 

Original Post 

Random look at one section in the CLR-owned Brooklyn oil field.

Brooklyn: a small, non-descript field NE of Williston; "owned" by CLR; excellent example of how an operator systematically drilled one entire field with one rig; holding the entire field by production within a year or so; has received the most comments of any field. 

Twenty-two well locations in this screen shot. Approximately half will run north, half will run south.

The older well running from the south to the north:

  • 21083, 282, CLR, Rolf 1-20H, Brooklyn oil field, t6/11; cum 444K 1/22;

Current production:

    1. Wow, what a great comment, thank you. I've brought your note up to the main body of the blog for easier browsing / searching. Great note. Folks just have no idea how many thousands (?) of miles of road that have been put into support the Bakken. It is simply incredible. It's great to have the story for the archives. Thank you.
