Original Post 

The wells: it looks like the reader has a new family of wells, the Oasis Rella wells in Ft Buford. These are incredibly long laterals -- four miles long. Remember, the standard Bakken well is two miles long; we've seen a few three-mile horizontals but I can't recall any four-mile laterals. 

These wells are in Ft Buford, in township 153N and range 103W.

They are sited in section at the north section line and extend through four sections to end at the south line of section 31. The reader has royalties in section 31-153-103.

Three New Oasis Nelsen State Federal Wells -- March 29, 2026

The newer wells, still on confidential list, but now showing production:

These are four(?) -mile long laterals -- very long laterals.

November 7, 2026: a reader is receiving royalties from these new wells as of October, 2026. The wells are still on confidential list but show production for the past three or four months, including the most recent month -- September, 2026. I'm still having a bit of trouble understanding everything about these wells; it will help when they come off confidential list. 

The reader apparently does not have minerals in the spacing unit of the new Joseph Federal well on that new pad. The spacing unit of this Joseph Federal well is a standard Bakken 1280-acre unit; sections 1/12 - 152 - 102.

See maps below. The three older Nelsen State wells show no production since March, 2026 or thereabouts, and do not show up on the production statements any more. The three newer Nelsen State Federal wells are to the south.

Original Post 

The reader already has royalties from three older Oasis Nelsen State Federal wells. [Update: as of early 2026, these three older wells were shut down and no production has been reported since then -- posted November 7, 2026.]

Now, the reader appears to have three more Oasis Petroleum Nelsen State Federal wells. They are currently being drilled according to the map below. 

I inadvertently labeled some Nelsen State wells and some Nelsen Federal wells. Part of the confusion: the original names were slightly different than the current names.  The names below are correct: 

• 42410, loc, Oasis, Nelsen State Federal 5202 13-13 2B, Indian Hill, 
• 42412, loc, Oasis, Nelsen State Federal 5202 13-13 4B, Indian Hill, 
• 42413, loc, Oasis, Nelsen State 5202 13-13 5B, Indian Hill, 

These are four(?)-mile long laterals -- very long laterals.

These are all four-section (2560-acre) spacing, thus royalties will be less than the standard Bakken wells spaced for two sections (1280-acre). 

These are going to be some very good wells. The area produces some nice wells. In addition, they will drain oil from four sections (not just two) and they are long horizontals, three miles long. But again, because they are spaced at 2560 acres rather than 1280 acres, the royalties will be half what it might otherwise be. So these three wells are probably more like two new wells, rather than three, if that makes sense.
