So it is this one?? #17696 - HESS CORPORATION, RS-FELDMAN-156-92- 1423H-1, NWNW 14-156N-92W, MOUNTRAIL CO., 230' FNL and 400' FWL, DEV., ROSS, 'Tight Hole', 2346' Ground, API #33-061-00888, (Approved: 10/7/2008)
As you say, the well is confidential but I looked at an active Hess well in that same Ross field with that same sort of naming convention (RS-STATE-156-92 3625H-1) and it is "1280 acre spacing unit consisting of SECTIONS 36 & 25-156N-92W." So I would assume the 1423H-1 means it is 1280 acre spacing unit consisting of SECTIONS 14 & 23-156N-92W On Oct 30, 12:19 pm, Weazerman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Right now this well is "confidential", so I'm assuming that it's still > early to be receiving royalties.
