Mountrail County, ND - Oil & Gas Discussion

The state regulates well spacing, usually one well per 640 acres or one well per 1280 acres. However there are times when spacing is less than 640 acres. It is my understanding that pooling is based on either one or two sections, depending in what part of the county we are talking about.

This is True, since I last looked our area was still not plotted out, everything to the east toward minot and max, all plotted out. Just one 1280 just south of me was the Andes well, not sure what Vecta did for theirs.

Mr. Lujon, Parshall field is mostly 640, east of Parshall field appears to be 5 or 6 miles of unspaced sections and east of that the state seems to have made all 1280 spacings. I think the state left the 5 to 6 miles east of Parshall field unspaced to allow operators the greatest possible latitude.

 Hello, Mr. Lujon,

    I'm not sure of what formula for pooling would be used in 151N 89W of Mountrail County. Since it is all under Confidentiality Status, nobody knows until the status is lifted.

Are spacing units for pooling royalty payments in Township 151 N 89 W, one or two sections?  I have mineral rights in Section 28.

Thank you Mr. Dilks for your help and info, God Willing they ( Vecta ) will do very well and maybe so will we.  EOG got us real cheap last time...Sy

 Hello, Mr. Vetter,

    If you go to the North Dakota Oil and Gas Conservation Commision website, you'll see thay have a listing of wells that are in Confidential Status. If you scroll down the list carefully, you'll find that Vecta Oil and Gas is currently working in Section 26 of Township 151N 89W in Mountrail County. It says that the Confidential Status should be lifted by early May. After they lift it, you should then be able to see any positive or negative results reached by Vecta, which should be posted on The Daily Activity Log of the Commision's website. Of course, I'm hoping they have promising results because I too have a royalty interest there in Section 16 which is just north and west of there. This Confidentiality agreement is the reason that nothing has been heard from out of that area for so long. I'm sure that if Vecta does get good commercial scale results from their work, EOG, who is the dominant operator in the area, will find that of great interest, and we all should start hearing of more activity in that Township and Range. I know EOG is currently operating right next store in Range 90W of 151N, so I've got my fingers crossed that we all should be hearing something pretty soon.

                                                           Regards,

                                                              Ron Dilks

Hey Y'all

Anyone know if Vecta Oil is drilling in Banner twnshp, they were suppose to start a site just south about one quarter south of my minerals, so far they are offering nothing in my area, doesn't make sense, the bakken is suppose to continue on for another 40 miles or so east and I'm in the middle, hmmmm.  Also caught word down here in Mercer county, that the Obama administration is trying to shut down the fracking, I've heard from several truck drivers now they're jobs are up in the air, supposed cause of earth quakes, seems to be a real concern with many who I've talked with who have come here for work and now have no gurrentee of a job, that's the word...

Can anyone provide me with the name of an attorney that specializes in mineral rights especially for Montrail County? My father recently died and has left our family several deeds that we need to validate. Thanks for your help!
