Original Post 

A reader asked about a Petro-Hunt Zabolotny well.

My reply:

Your might have a new Zabolotny well.

I often make mistakes but this is what I'm seeing.

I track the Petro-Hunt lease you mentioned at this post:


I often make mistakes, but if I have this correct, chronology:

You told me you received a check up-front for $310 (or thereabouts) for a lease, March 11, 2021.

You said this had to do with Petro-Hunt, sections 4 and 9 -- T144N - R98W.

There are several completed Zabolotny wells to the east (sections 3 and 10) but you don't have minerals in those sections, so ignore.

However, it appears Petro-Hunt drilled a new Zabolotny well that runs horizontally through your two sections, sections 4 and 9, and that was what the lease was for.

The new well:
  • 37987, a new permit, still confidential, November 20, 2020, Petro-Hunt, Zabolotny 144-98-4A-9-1H, Little Knife,
It's still on confidential so we don't know anything about the well but it has started producing and in July, 2021, the NDIC reported Petro-Hunt had sold a few bbls from this well ("runs": oil that is actually sold; since it's confidential we don't know how much was actually produced, but generally how much was sold --"runs" -- is usually about the same as how much was produced):

NDIC File No: 37987     API No: 33-053-09609-00-00
Well Type: ON CONFIDENTIAL STATUS
Location: SESE 36-145-98     Footages: 250 FSL 270 FEL     Latitude: 47.329499     Longitude: -103.100208
Current Operator: PETRO-HUNT, L.L.C.
Current Well Name: Zabolotny 144-98-4A-9-1H
    Field: LITTLE KNIFE
Monthly Sales Data: 
DateOil RunsMCF Sold
7-202145825

When checking the deeds, this one is in Billings County.
 
Note the name of the well:

Zabolotny 144-98-4A-9-1H.

The 144 and 98, T and R, obviously.

4A - 9:   this well will begin in section 4 and run south into section 9 (Carl/Ruth lease).

The "A"? Petro-Hunt labels their pads in each drilling unit alphabetically, so this is the first pad in this drilling unit. In great areas, Petro-Hunt can have several pads with two to four wells on each pad which will be labeled A through D.

1H: H for horizontal and "1" because it's the first well on this pad to be drilled.

This is not a great area in the Bakken but it's not bad. If this well is even "kind of" good, I would suspect we will see a number of more Petro-Hunt wells in this drilling unit.

The "decimal" unit for the Petro-Hunt wells you have are generally very low so I don't expect much in the way of royalties, but you should enjoy watching these wells.

Anyway, that's what I am seeing.

This well comes off the confidential list October 19, 2021 -- next month. If it's been completed and is producing, we will get the information then.
