21266, The Parent Well And Four Daughter Wells Soon To Be Reported -- June 5, 2023

Locator: 44846B.   

For newbies: tying together a story of just a single drilling site.

The Oasis Dahl Federal wells south of Williston. A single well drilled in 2012 kept this lease by production. Finally ten years later, four more wells on this pad. The story is not yet over. Production data yet to be reported.

The data points:

The original (or "parent") well in this 1280-acre unit, sections 2/11-153-101 was #21266. The original operator was SM Energy. The current operator is Oasis, now part of Chord Energy (Oasis + Whiting).

So, that was the original well in that drilling unit, sited in section 11, with the lateral running north into section two. This well was 1280-acre spacing; sections 2 and 11 - 153-101.

Since then, Oasis has drilled four more wells on that pad. These are the permits for these four new wells. Note that all four have the same spacing unit as #21626 above, names section 2/11-153-101:

• 38270,
• 38271,
• 38272,
• 38273,

This is the permit for the original, or "parent" well, #21266. Note: same drilling unit, 1280-acre spacing, sections 2/11-151-101 as the four new wells above. Note: SM Energy was the original operator before being acquired by Oasis (now Chord):

The wells are sited on a large pad in section 11; the horizontals will run north into section 2:

How the five wells / the five pumpers will be lined up / positioned on the single large pad:

The maps:

From today's NDIC daily activity report, three of the four new wells are noted to be "plugged or producing." This means the wells are still on the "confidential list" but the operator has reported that the wells have been drilled to depth, and were either productive or "dry." In the Bakken, 99% of all wells "plugged or producing" turn out to be successful wells. We don't know yet but it's likely these wells are successfully drilled to depth and waiting to be fracked:

Bottom line:

• the parent well, #21266, Dahl Federal 15-11H, now has four daughter wells, #38770 - 38773, inclusive. 
• one suspects the four daughter wells will be much better wells than the parent well;
• it's hard to say how long it will be before these wells are fracked / completed, but generally pareent wells are off line less than six months while neighboring wells are fracked; the parent well in this case has been off line for about that length of time now.
