Twenty-Six (26) Wells On One 1280-Acre Unit -- NDIC Hearing Dockets -- June, 2026 -- May 27, 2026

Locator: 50866B.

Flashback: I remember when I first started the blog, I said that "if. you have one well, you may have 24 wells some day." In the old days, operators said they wouldn't consider drilling a well unless it had a million-bbl EUR. I'm sure that's still the case. 

NDIC hearing dockets, June, 2026:

Case 32934, Hess, Elm Tree-Bakken, 13 wells on a 1280-acre unit; McKenzie County; 

Thirteen wells currently. Now, 13 more wells --
