Stockyard Creek Update -- Gary 1-24H
UPDATE: here's the press release for the following story. Yippee! Time: 8:30 p.m. EDT, September 29, 2010. The press release also mentions Earl 1-13H, which is one mile east of Gary 1-24H, on the north side of the highway (see note below for more detailed information). Early 1-13H was spudded yesterday and Zavanna expects to reach total depth in 17 days. Gary 1-24H was a 20-stage frack.


ORIGINAL POST (About 9:15 p.m., September 29, 2010)

I'm being told that "Samson made an annoucement this evening on the Gary 1-24H well (file # 18824) in the Stockyard Creek field. It came in at about 1,600 boepd. And I believe about 2 MMCF per day." I have not seen the "official statement" yet.

I have no mineral rights, and I know the "work" is called "work" for a reason, but I bet the roughnecks drilling this well, and the engineer on site, and the site manager, and everyone else involved, must just have a great feeling when a well comes in. I would think even on the worse North Dakota winter night (and we're not there yet by any means), the workers cheer when a well comes in. Maybe I'm wrong. But I like to think that no one takes all their work for granted.

Congratulations to those involved with Gary 1-24H.

If you want to see it, the well is about 315 feet -- yup, feet -- south of State Highway 1604, about 10 miles east of Williston. I assume there's a flare. You will see some wonderful scenery in the rolling hills; watch out for lights coming over the hill!
