Another 18-Well Super Pad, The Hess EN-Jeffrey Pad -- July 25, 2015

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:

• Nice photo of two rows of 6 pumpers in each row
• The full "super-pad"
• The Hess EN-Jeffrey pad off in the distance
• An example of the signage

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: https://www.google.com/maps/place/48%C2%B013%2744.1%22N+102%C2%B044%2757.5%22W/@48.2724916,-102.8208804,29035m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0?hl=en.

One can see the pad more closely at this link: https://www.google.com/maps/place/48%C2%B013%2744.1%22N+102%C2%B044%2757.5%22W/@48.229507,-102.7493787,230m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0?hl=en.

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.

Maps For Sale

Wow, this is cool. Look at the maps for sale. Note: I have no association with this website. I first saw it on Facebook. 

As for me, I'm looking for a historical map of Dickinson. Until then, I may place this on my Hanukkah / Eid al-Fitr / Christmas / Vesak / Holiday / Eid al-Adha list.


You Took Me By Surprise, Jessie Colter

Williston's Average Wage Tops $80,000; Beats National Average Of $72,000 -- Dickinson Press -- July 25, 2015

The Dickinson Press is reporting: If looking for work, Williston has never looked better! If looking to establish a business, Williston has never looked better! I was surprised by their story, so upbeat. Look at the numbers, some of which were picked up by The Dickinson Press :

• taxable sales at record levels (see below); Williston's taxable sales and purchases hit $1 billion 4Q14, six months ago
• Williston's average annual wage tops $80,000 compared with a national average of $72,000
• unemployment rate 2nd lowest in the nation
• 1,700 job openings in Williston -- job openings, not unemployment lines
• housing still tight, but opening up; opportunity to move out of man camp into city
• house prices coming down; rents "plunging"
• minimum starting wage at Wal-Mart: $17 (double Dickinson's minimum wage of $7.25 / hour -- not even a living wage)
• traffic no longer a problem with all the new bypasses, new highways
• truck traffic way down now that pipelines are in
• 925 wells need fracking; oil service companies hiring
• for the past 5 years, the area has put in 2,000 wells / year; 10,000 new wells; all need servicing
• more than 1 million bbls of crude oil needs to be moved daily

The Dickinson Press led with a different slant, but finished the article with incredible data points, some of which were noted above.

By the way, there are rumors, that as busy as the Bakken is right now, activity is going to increase at the end of the summer.

If there's any doubt about activity in the Bakken, look at all the job opportunities in this month's edition of the Bakken Magazine.

Two Very Interesting Dots To Connect -- July 25, 2015

Back on July 23, 2015: 80 million bbls of crude oil storage to be added along the Gulf Coast, this year.

Today: US imports of crude oil rising.

Something tells me there are some folks along the coast who are hoping / betting we don't see the end of the ban on crude oil exports any time soon.

Next data point to watch: refining capacity along the coast. Integrated companies are making more money off refined products than off their upstream operations.
