Original Post

Reader can't forget this one.

Petro-Hunt well, #38359, is one of four wells on a four-well pad. Three of the four wells are producing. This fourth well, #38359, is still on confidential line, and not producing. 

The reader must not forget this well.

Tucker Well -- #37452 -- A Line Section Well -- Little Knife -- Dunn County -- Section 34-146-97 -- January 10, 2022-

 A reader sent me some of the following and I'm completing the rest.

First, from the reader, from Dunn County, a screenshot of part of a deed; note section 34-146-97:

Now, the NDIC map. The solid red stars note the three sections in which the reader has mineral rights. 

In addition, the four sections designated with black-outlined red stars represent a four-section (2560-acre) drilling unit. That drilling unit includes one section in which the reader holds minerals, section 34. 

The big black arrow, #37452, is the horizontal that runs north along the section line and will pay royalties to those who have minerals in the four sections designated with black-outlined red stars, including the one section "held" by the reader.

Then, we have a screenshot of the permit of interest.

• NDIC file number: #37452
• sections: 26 / 27 / 34 / 35 - 146-97

And finally, the scout ticket for this particular well:
 

Hess will drill four LK-Hamilton wells, but only one will "affect" the reader, the line section well, #37452.

37761, Continental Resources, Harrisbug 2-29HSL -- Part Of Ekke's Portfolio -- January 9, 2022

Updates

January 22, 2022: the NDIC map is now updated and it confirms that the reader has minerals associated with this well, #37761. [Note: #38189 is not relevant to this discussion; the horizontal turns north into Baker oil field, not Indian Hill.]

Original Post

The graphics.

Key:

• solid red star: Ekke's minerals in this section; section 33-153-101;
• solid blue star: this section (28-153-101) is the other half of the 1280-acre (two-section) drilling unit
• the two red/blue stars: the adjacent 1280-acre unit; does not apply to Ekke
• all four stars make up a 2560-acre (four-section) drilling unit

This graphic is of the general area:

• the section with the red star: Ekke's mineral rights, the XTO Nelsen State wells are circled
• the two sections with the red star / solid blue star: the 1280-acre drilling unit for the XTO Nelsen State wells
• the four sections, all with stars are a 2560-acre (four-secion) drilling unit;

This graphic shows the four-section (2560-acre) drilling unit (all four stars):

• the solid red star: Ekke's mineral rights/deed
• the solid blue star + the solid red star: the 1280-acre drilling unit for the XTO Nelsen State wells (circled at the bottom)
• all four stars: the 2560-acre (four-section) drilling unit that includes the new well, #37661 (circled at the top)

This graphic zooms in all the way; #37661 permit shows that it is in the four-section (2560-acre) drilling unit that includes section 33-153-101 (an Ekke section):

• 37761, conf, CLR, Harrisburg 2-29HSL, Indian Hill, first production 11/21; t--; cum 28K 11/21;

• 37761: NDIC file number
• CLR: Continental Resources
• Harrisburg 2-29HSL: name of well
• HSL:

• S: runs south
• L: line section well, 2560-acre (four-section drilling) unit.
