ELM COULEE FIELD
Elm Coulee Oil Field was discovered in theWilliston BasininRichland County, eastern
Montana, in 2000. It produces oil from theBakken Formationand, as of 2007, is the"highest-producing onshore field found in the lower 48 states in the past 56 years. "
[1]By
2007, the field had become one of the 20 largest oil fields in the United States.[2][3]
The field exploitshorizontal drilling technologyby perforating the productive rocksparallel to the beds, rather than through a vertical well perpendicular to the relatively thin
Bakken Formation. At Elm Coulee Field, the Bakken is only about 45 feet (15 m) thick
and lies at depths of 8,500 to 10,500 feet (2,6003,200 m), but horizontal wells penetrate
3,000 to 5,000 feet (9001,500 m) of the reservoir rock, aporousdolomiteofDevonianage that probably originated as a largecarbonate bankon the western flank of the basin.
The field is astratigraphic
trap.[4]
In 2006, Elm Coulee was
producing about53,000 barrels (8,400 m3) of
oil per day from more than
350 wells. Ultimate
production is expected toexceed 270 million barrels
(45 million m),[5]
with
some estimates as high as
500 million barrels(80 million m).[6]
Production at Elm Coulee
has more than doubled theoil output of the state of
Montana, from around 40
000 barrels per day in 2000to almost 100 000 in '06.
However, montana
production fell againstarting in 2007, down to
some 70 000 barrels per dayin mid 2009.[7]

Montana Oil: The Next Bakken RushSource: Keith Kohl, Energy & Capital 08/02/2010
Sometimes a story just doesn't unfold the way you expect it to.
For Montana's oil industry, the carpet was pulled out from underneath them when themedia's attention was snatched away by the state's neighbor to the east. . .
It must have been painful for them to watch North Dakota's oil industry explode, even inspite of a massive global recession. But the last laugh hasn't been heard.
And that's because Montana is preparing to re-take the spotlightand for investorssearching for the next phase of the Bakken oil boom, it's time to give Montana its due.
Sympathy for Montana
http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&pub=xa-4b26e4054a784caahttp://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&pub=xa-4b26e4054a784caa7/29/2019 bakken shale montana

If you've looked into the Bakken formation, there's a good chance you've come across theElm Coulee oil field.
Located in Richland county, on the eastern side of Montana, the Elm Coulee field wasdiscovered in 2000. Like most Bakken wells, companies have utilized horizontal drilling
and multi-stage fracturing techniques to increase production.
By 2006, the field was pumping out 56,000 barrels per day from approximately 350wells, with an estimatedultimate recovery of 270million barrels. A year later,the Elm Coulee field had
become the highest-producing onshore field inthe lower 48 states.
To put that into
perspective, Montana's oilproduction in 2003averaged 53,000 barrelsper day. In 2006, the ElmCoulee field wasresponsible for almost 60%of the state's productionthat year.
You've got to have somesympathy for Montana. . .
Though Montana shares aportion of the now-famousBakken, the TreasureState's oil production hasstruggled while a good old-fashioned oil boom has
been taking place right nextdoor in North Dakota.
Over the last five years, oiland gas producers acrossthe U.S. have had shalefever. But sadly forMontana, North Dakota hastaken center stage.
After an impressive start into the shale fever gripping the country's oil producers,Montana's oil production lost momentum.
The state's production (pictured below)which reached averaged 99,000 barrels per dayin 2006fell to 76,000 barrels per day in 2009.

Montana became the forgotten stepchild in the U.S. oil industry.
But don't feel too sorry for them, because things are about to change. . .
Time to Cash in on the Bakken Fame
As you know, North Dakota has been a hotbed of activity for oil and gas drillers.
According the Baker Hughes rig count, there are 128 active drilling rigs. You only needone guess to figure out where those rigs are drilling. . .Approximately 95% of those rigsare drilling in the Bakken and Three Forks formations. The Three Forks formation islocated beneath the Bakken.
That means the number of active rigs has jumped 333% since oil prices collapsed to $33per barrel in December 2008.
North Dakota's drilling boom is paying off, too. Last week, North Dakota overtookOklahoma's position as the country's third-most active drilling state. Remember, NorthDakota surpassed Oklahoma in 2009 to become the fourth-largest oil producer in theU.S.
And North Dakota's success is good news for Montana.
Drillers looking to expand their Bakken exposure are starting to revisit Montana. Ascompanies continue to improve upon drilling and completion techniques, those Montanaleases are looking more attractive.
How can we be sure?
Digging a little further, you'll discover that the Montana Board of Oil and Gas is beingflooded with drilling permit applications. According to one administrator, TomRichmond, oil and gas there could be more than 300 permits this year.
Taking another look at the latest rig count byBaker Hughes, there are only five rigscurrently drilling in Montana. All five are drilling the Williston Basin in RichlandCounty.
2011 is shaping up to be a strong year for Montana.
The latest scramble to pick up leases in northeastern Montana is reminiscent of the landrush that occurred in North Dakota in 2008. If you remember, the catalyst for NorthDakota's oil boom was when the USGS updated their Bakken assessment in April 2008.
Of course, the Bakken has been extremely generous to investors. In fact it's helped myreaders closewinner after winnerincluding more than 400% on one of our favoriteBakken stocks.
You can bet they won't miss out on Montana's good fortune.
