A reader asked me about an offer from Dakota Energy.
This appears to be a new offer for the reader from Dakota Energy.
It is an offer to PURCHASE the minerals.
The reader generally doesn't respond to requests to purchase.
The offer:
- the offer was based on November 17, 2025, data, the offer was received on February 3, 2026;
- two sections, would amount to a standard Bakken 1280-acre stand-up drilling unit:
- sections 26 / 27 - 157 - 103;
- Strandahl oil field;
- well of interest is the Kay Arnson well one section to the south
- well of interest is the Grimstvedt well, also one section to the south
- there was an old Madison well in this area; dry
- offer: $1,200 per mineral acre
- total offer: $2,000
I don't see any new permits in this area and certainly no new drilling. However, it has been my experience that when an offer is made, the landman is aware of something may be happening soon.
