July 26, 2008 – Active Drilling Rig List
Posted by bakkenexpertThe number of active drilling rigs has stayed fairly static since our last post on the subject in June. Continental Resources is still the leader with 13 active rigs in the area. EOG has 8 rigs, Marathon Oil (MRO) has 7 and Whiting Petroleum (WLL) has 5 rigs. With some of the recent finds in the area, we expect the number of rigs to top 85 by September and Continental Resources will most likely continue to report positive news on their drilling efforts as they did with Mathistad 1-35H a few weeks ago as outlined in a recent Continental Resources press release on Mathistad 1-35H below:
“The Mathistad 1-35H commenced production on July 4, 2008 and has flowed at an average rate of 1,095 barrels of crude oil equivalent per day, with 90 percent of production being crude oil and 10 percent natural gas,” said Harold Hamm, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for Continental Resources. “This is a second positive data point in our effort to determine whether the Three Forks/Sanish formation is a separate oil-producing reservoir not drained by a horizontal well completion in the Middle Bakken zone above it. If the Three Forks/Sanish proves to be a separate reservoir, it would add significant incremental reserves to the Bakken play.”
