Updates
September 28, 2018: production data has been update for the EN-Jeffrey wells below. The graphic hasn't changed:
July 27, 2015: Wow, what a treat. I was wondering if a reader could shed light on what the pad looked like, whether it was one big pad, or more than one. It turns out that Scott Jeffrey, from New York, visited his family ranch, the Jeffrey Ranch, this past summer and took some great photos. They are facebook links, and for now, I think I will just provide the links -- maybe later post some of the photos as I usually do. Here are the links:
The Jeffrey Ranch is about 20 miles southeast of Ray, North Dakota. Google satellite view which will show you where the ranch / pad is located relative to Ray, White Earth, US Highway 2, and ND State Highway 1804:

One can see the pad more closely at this link:

Wow, what beautiful country. God's country.
Original Post
Technically, these eighteen (18) wells may sit on one, two, or three separate pads. I haven't seen the area first-hand; maybe a reader can shed more light. But for my purposes, from now on, when I see groups of more than six to ten wells such as this group, I will refer to the entire enchilada as a "super pad." Think of all the money being saved by building only one main road to the site. I assume Hess is using pipelines wherever possibly to bring all necessary fluids to the site and to remove waste fluids from the site.

Another Photo From A Reader In The Bakken
As promised, here is the third of several photos that will be posted
over the next several days. The first batch of photos will be of
the Statoil Trust wells a few miles west of Williston. This 5-well pad is just east of another 4-well pad in the same section.
A huge "thank you" to the reader for sending these photos.
