Original Post

Isn't this beautiful country?

Photos of the Lucy Hanson two days after it came off the confidential list. The photos are taken from the west of the wells, towards Williston and the Little Muddy in the far background.

Catwalk oil field; first two wells that caught my attention and photographed above:

• 20013, 3,771, BEXP, Lucy Hanson 15-22 1H, Catwalk, Bakken, middle Bakken, it looks like it was a 36-stage frack; 1.3 million pounds sand; 2.7 million pounds ceramic. Lucy Hanson is about 3.5 miles east on 1804 out of Williston, and one mile north of the highway; s4/11; t8/11; cum 92K 1/12;
• On this same pad: 20842, 2,743, BEXP, Larsen 3-10 2H, Catwalk, Bakken; s5/11; t7/11; F; cum 71K 1/12;

By the way, BEXP has another nice well just one section east of this well:

• 19406, 3,761, BEXP, Knoshaug 14-11 1H, Avoca, Bakken, s9/10; t1/11; cum 128K bbls 1/12; this was also 36 stage frack; 1.4 million pounds sand; 2.2 million pounds ceramic.

Others:

• 18311, 2,769, BEXP, Williston 25-36 1H, s10/09; t12/09; cum 176K 1/12;
• 19008, 2,804, BEXP, Brakken 30-31 1H, s8/10; t12/10; cum 103K 1/12;

****************** Catwalk oil field: this is a very small oil field, only 14 sections, including the east side of Williston (inside city limits). The western boundary is near University Avenue, extending north to about where 22nd Street would be, and extending south about two miles south of the tracks.The Little Muddy runs through the eastern side of this field, and the field includes the Missouri River south of the tracks. Highway 1804 cuts right through the middle. The old refinery would be in this field, Raymond Lee's land would be in this field, Halliburton/Sanjel industrial park would be in this field. That's how close it is to Williston center.

There are several vertical (legacy wells) in this field, but only one producing horizontal prior to Lucy Hanson. That well is:

• 16099, 314, Tri-C Resources, Gamma-State 16-15, (no "H" designation), Bakken; s2/06; t5/06; cum 54K

Just to give you an idea of how the legacy wells performed, a couple of the still-active wells  in this field:

• 8137, 32, Citation, Fedorenko 1-21, Madison, s12/80; t4/81; cumulative 93K 1/12. So this well has been actively producing for 30 years and is yet to reach 100,000 bbls. INACTIVE as of 1/12; The average Bakken well will reach 100,000 bbls in 18 months or sooner.
• 7290, 178, Citation, B.P.O.E. 1 (the "Elks" well); Madison, s7/80;t12/80; cum 228K bbls; currently producing about 200 bbls/month --> 7 bbls/day 1/12
