October 18, 2012:  Three new CLR permits in Oakdale -- testing the lower benches of the Three Forks?
Original Post

I recently updated the Morris 2-26H well which is in the Oakdale oil field in the Williston Basin.
  • 18860, 517, CLR, Morris 2-26H, Oakdale, Bakken; t5/11; cum 141K 11/12; 4-section spacing;
Here's the rest of the story:
  • 18858, 715, CLR, Morris 3-26H, Oakdale, Bakken, t5/11; cum 224K by 11/12 (Kind of HUGE), 4-section spacing; F;
  • 18859, 680, CLR, Carson Peak 3-35H, Oakdale, Bakken, t5/11; cum 313K by 11/12 (Really HUGE); 4-section spacing; F;
  • 18861, 759, CLR, Carson Peak 2-35H, Oakdale, Bakken; t5/11; cum 345K by 11/12 (Really HUGE); 4-section spacing; F;
This Eco-Pad is in the Oakdale oil field, a field we don't hear much about. That's because it is a very small field, all of eight (8) sections. In fact, it's hard to get more than a couple of Eco-Pads in a field this small. Smile.

The field is in the core Bakken, in the northwest corner of Dunn County and surrounded by some "name" oil fields, including Little Knife and Jim Creek. The field is "owned" by Continental Resources.

Just east of this Eco-Pad is another Continental Resources Eco-Pad, the Hawkinson-Whitman Eco-Pad, 4-section spacing:
  • 20208, 960, CRL, Hawkinson 2-27H, Oakdale, Bakken; t9/11; F; cum 199K 11/12;
  • 20210, 803, CLR, Whitman 2-34H, Oakdale, Bakken, t9/11; F; cum 602K 11/12;
  • 20211, 263, CLR, Hawkinson 3-27H, Oakdale, Bakken; t9/11; F; cum 222K 11/12;
  • 20212, 482, CLR, Whitman 3-34H, Oakdale, Bakken; t9/11; F; cum 70K 11/12:
Just to the west of the Hawkinson-Whitman Eco-Pad is a superb CLR well:
  • 17061, 664, CLR, Whitman 11-34H, Oakdale, Bakken; tested 6/08; 301K as of 11/12
To the north is an old legacy well, still considered active, but last produced in 2008:
  • 6130, 220, RM Resources, Hawkinson 1-27, Oakdale, Madison; t8/77; cum 341K as of 1/12 but no production since 5/08, abandoned
Another nice horizontal well drilled in this boom in this oil field:
  • 18275, 1,020, CLR, Hawkinson 1-22H, Oakdale, Bakken; tested 2/10; F; cum 442K 11/12
Others:
  • 17079, 559, CLR, Carson Peak 44-2H, Oakdale, Bakken; t6/08; cum 200K 9/12
  • 17334, 811, CLR, Morris 1-23H, Oakdale, Bakken, t11/08; cum 175K 9/12
Everything suggests this will end up being a very good field. Eight sections, two Eco-Pads: one wonders if this field is an early candidate for unitization.

  1. Hi Bruce, Brigham has the Lucy Hanson well ip reported on their home page at 4365 boepd. The well is in the Catwalk field about 2 miles east of Williston by Medicine Lodge hill.

  2. Yes, I saw that during earnings week, but I had too much to post, and then forgot about it.

    I guess I should have put this up as a stand alone post. This is the boepd, which suggests the bopd will be somewhat lower. I am surprised BEXP didn't have a press release on this one.

  3. Adjacent to the south end of Carson Peak/Morris is the Bonneville/Bridger Eco pad. It has been producing about 6 months now with the initial notation of restricted flow. Very small chokes due to weather/field conditions. As a whole it has produced in the range of a couple hundred thousand barrels to date.
    A couple miles to the south and east is the Meadowlark Skachenko eco pad. What interests me about this location is that the two legs heading north from this pad pass on either side of Skachenko A1 #8499 well completed in Duperow in 1981 I beliieve and has produced around 1.5 million barrels. The Duperow is not that much below the Three Forks.
    As my mind wanders I think about how much information is being gained by all those horizontal wells drilled two miles below the surface and what the topographical map of the three forks looks like. I wonder if Continental may be thinking they have potential conventional prospects with the Duperow because of their expanding knowledge base.

    Another thing is Continental mentioned a while back that they were planning on drilling out some of thier eco pads with full development starting later this year. In the unit with Bonnivelle Bridger they have drilled a disposal well. I would think piping directly from the well to diposal would be the most efficient way to dispose of salt water. I would think that development would start close to the disposal well. I suspect we may see full development of eco pads some where in this area fairly soon.

  4. Excellent.

    You are the second person to point out to me how information Harold Hamm (CLR) is garnering in the Williston Basin. He operates or participates in one out of every six wells drilled in this boom. You are very correct; he is learning a lot. Just reading the geologist's reports remind one how much information the teams are obtaining on all the formations they drill through to get to the Bakken.

    A pipeline to SWD wells makes a lot of sense, and I've often commented that the Williston Basin has a lot of infrastructure already in place compared to what Utica and Eagle Ford have.

    Thank you for a great note; it may lead to a stand-alone post.
