Why I Love To Blog, Reason #1 -- Now I Know What All The Excitement Was About -- Updating Nine Point Energy' Wells In Eightmile -- May 30, 2020

This is really, really cool, on so many levels. I actually missed this story for several days, maybe weeks, but with time on my hands today, I decided to take a look. 

At the sidebar at the right, there is an app that posts the top ten trending posts. Most top trending posts are recent posts, but when an "old" post rises to the top, it's time to take a look.

See this post. The original post was January 28, 2020. At that time, the most recent production data was for the month 11/19. At that time all completed wells were producing.

It is strange to see a post this old to be trending among the top ten. So, let's take a look.

Well, well, well. What do we see? The producing wells at the time of the original post are now all off line; and, the wells that were on "drl" status are now producing and have moved to the conf list. And finally the wells that were producing a small amount back in November, 2019, are now into full production.

So, now we know. The mom-and-pop mineral rights owners were checking into see what was going on. They must have received their royalty checks. Whoo-hoo!

There are so many story lines here:

• first, of course, the royalty checks for small mineral owners;
• second, once the price oil "comes back," the checks will be bigger;
• third, this opens up an entire new area for E&P;
• fourth, hopefully Nine Point Energy can hang through this downturn; they've been through this once before;  
• fifth, the tenacity, the persistence, the git 'er done attitude of oil men and women; and, 
• probably a lot more.

By the way,  a huge apology for failing to get this posted. I completely missed it. I'm sure a lot of mineral owners were upset with my delay in getting this posted. I learned a lesson.

83-Stage, 16-Million-Lb Frack -- CLR -- Hereford Federal -- February 7, 2020

Later today this well should be reported:

• 32354, conf, CLR, Hereford Federal 8-20H2, Elm Tree, very small production; it will be interesting to see what this is all about; Three Forks, second bench; it is already producing but minimal production; I'm eager to see what a second bench Three Forks well is all about. For a "head's up" let's look at another Three Forks second bench well on the same pad, same field, #33027 below.

• 33027, 2,880, CLR, Hereford Federal 12-17H2, 83 stages; 16 million lbs; Three Forks, second bench; 1920-acre spacing; Elm Creek, 26,772 feet; conf but noted to be producing as of 4/19; produced 35K over first 19 days; t9/19; cum 37K over first 19 days; cum 115K 11/19; the September, 2019, production extrapolates to 55K over 30 days:

The file report for this well does not yet include the geologist's narrative.

By the way, a middle Bakken well on that pad has already produced more than 125K bbls of crude oil in less than four months:

• 35691, 2,760, CLR, Hereford Federal 15X-17HSL, 81 stages; 18 million lbs; middle Bakken; 1920-acre spacing; Elm Creek, 26,540 feet; produced 27K over first 13 days; t9/19; cum 125K 12/19;

What's Going On Out In Eightmile? Nine Point Energy Active -- January 28, 2020

Updates

September 21, 2020:

• 34788, drl/A, Nine Point Energy, Missouri 152-103-4-2-6H, Eightmile, no production data,
• 34787, drl/A, Nine Point Energy, Missouri 152-103-4-2-5H, Eightmile, no production data,
• 34786, drl/A, Nine Point Energy, Missouri 152-103-4-2-2H, Eightmile, producing, 54K over 4.5 months; see this post;
  

May 30, 2020: these wells have been updated here; at a later date this post will be updated but I want folks to see what this looked like back in November, and compare to that to the update at the link. Updated graphic:

Original Post

Eightmile oil field is southwest of Williston, heading out toward Montana, north of the river. I would consider this immediate area Tier 2, maybe Tier 3, based on historic activity. But all of a sudden, a bit of activity.

The wells:

• 34783, 1,004, Nine Point Energy, Missouri 152-103-4-2-1H, Eightmile, t11/18; cum 221K 3/20; a 24K month; off line 3/20; remains off line 4/20;
