MRO Activity In Bailey Oil Field -- July 9, 2022

MEMO to self: come back in six months to see halo effect of surrounding wells. 

When updating the incredible MRO wells at this post, it was noted that several MRO wells recently came off line which usually suggests activity, such as fracking newly drilled holes.

Wow, wow, wow. Pay dirt! LOL.

Without the NDIC GIS map, it is much more difficult to sort things out, but with a little sleuthing, one can find a few new things. 

In NENW 18-146-93 and lot 1 section 18-146-93, no less than fourteen MRO wells are on drl status. Checking the scout tickets most, if not all, were spud in September, 2021, and one of the fourteen is now producing, suggesting that MRO has completed these fourteen wells.

Note that in the NDIC spreadsheet below, the 2nd column and the 7th columns remain empty:

• column 2: CTB No -- centralized tank battery number -- "battery" to which oil will be temporarily stored awaiting "runs"
  
• column 7: DTD -- completed depth in feet
