Updates

March 11, 2024: a reader wrote me tonight to tell me the "new" well showed up on her Grayson Mill, 2/12/24 check/production statement. All the maps and information below should still be correct. New screenshots of interest:

Scout ticket: note first production and runs, January, 2024:

Permit application to show drilling unit:

The map: the stars represent sections in which the reader has mineral rights. The two arrows point to the surface location of the well, and the horizontal lateral that runs south along the section line, two sections long.

July 24, 2023: see this link for four new CLR Brakken wells permits.

May 23, 2023: I just noted that a rig is now on this 6-well Grayson Mill pad and has started drilling out the six wells. One of the wells, the far east well, will be a "Tucker" well. The drilling rig: Noble 4. Later: it looks like the far east well was drilled by the Patterson 811. The well:

39366, conf/drl, Grayson Mill, Williston 30-31F XE 1H (in the Brakken unit as a line section well). Noted July 24, 2023.

Original Post

Note: I don't expect to see royalties from these new wells for at least another year, but it's possible the wells will be drilled during the summer of 2023.

This is case from the December, 2021, hearing dockets. This is a case, not a permit. In a case, the operator is requesting from the North Dakota regulator to define a spacing unit for future permits.

For the reader, in his/her Williams County deeds, this deed. Note sections 30/31 in the case above and the deed below:

Now, we have a permit. Grayson Mill has permits for a six-well pad. Five of the wells will be 1280-acre spacing and not part of the readers' wells. However, the sixth well -- the well farthest east on that pad will be a section line well -- 2560-acre spacing -- and will be part of the readers' wells.
