From a October 29, 2019, post:
Six new permits, #37136 - #37141, inclusive --
- Operator: Hess
- Field: Siverston (McKenzie)
- Comments:
- Hess has permits for a 6-well BW-Rolfson pad in section 21-151-98, Siverston oil field
- Hess reports six dry holes, #37136 - #37141, inclusive: BW-Rolfson wells in McKenzie County
The Siverston oil field is tracked here.
These wells were being drilled in April, 2022.
Name changes of interest:
- Hess "PA'd" six BW-Rolfson wells (#37136 - #37140, inclusive)
So, of course, nothing makes sense. Supposedly PA'd in January, 2022, but then a Noble 1 drilling rig on this pad drilling these wells in April, 2022? I can't do any more "research" until the NDIC website is back up and running and we can see the file reports.
If these wells were truly drilled to depth, the question is whether they were fracked. This is in a great oil field so it's extremely unlikely if these were DUCs, they would have been abandoned before being completed. Did a zipper frack go bad and affect all six wells?
Perhaps someone knows. If not, hopefully the NDIC site eventually brings up the scout tickets and the file reports as they used to be.
Later, see comments.
