Original Post

This may be all wrong, but I was told "a reader got a new well" in North Dakota. I was told it was a "Gilbertson well in McKenzie County."

I don't know any more than that.

In the Charlson oil field in the Bakken, about 25 miles northeast of Watford City, there are a group of Gilbertson wells. I don't have the file number of the "new" well but if the reader can provide me that number, I can confirm which well it is.

This is a screenshot of the oil map of North Dakota. The Gilbertson wells are in the Charlson oil field about 25 miles northeast of Watford City and very, very difficult to get to, simply because there are no major roads out there:

This is a zoomed-in view of the section in which the Gilbertson wells are located: section 26, T153N R95W. Note there are two Gilbertson well pads. I don't know which well is the "new" well. One pad is a four-well pad; the other pad is a three-well pad. These wells are all short laterals, and they are all spaced at 640 acres.

This is a zoomed-in view of the four-well pad:

This is a zoomed-in view of the three-well pad:

To be continued once I confirm that these are the correct Gilbertson wells.
