Wrap-Up: The Newest KOG Acquisition -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

With KOG increasing its acreage by 70% in the last couple of months, there will be a fair amount written about KOG over the next few days.

Here are the links, pretty much all in one place.

Of course, the first three postings I did on KOG after the announcement are also linked down below.

Steven "Z-Man" Zachritz: bought it cheap, SeekingAlpha. With six rigs as of January, 2012, they need two dedicated frack crews just to keep up; they have one dedicated HAL frack team; they need one more. With acquisition, KOG estimates 24,000 boepd for 2012 with 30,000 boepd ext target for 2012. BEXP hit a record of 10,401 boepd in 2Q11; and estimated around 15,000 boepd at end of 2011.
