The Pronghorn Sand is a formation which is between the middle Bakken and the Three Forks formations.
I assume the oil journals have articles on the Pronghorn Sand. If Ifind any articles, I will link them.
Whiting's most recent corporate presentation says they are targeting the Pronghorn Sand in their Pronghorn Prospect (not mentioning the Three Forks), but yet a number of Pronhhorn Prospect wells were said to have targeted the Three Forks. Because I am not a geologist, I won't add my thoughts.
Whiting now designates middle Bakken wells with a simple "H"; the Three Forks wells with "TFH"; and, Pronghorn Sand wells are designated with a "PH."
These are the oil fields inside Whiting's Pronghorn Prospect (my best guess; will be updated as new information flows), but consider the area between Dickinson and Belfield, especially north of the interstate as the area of the Pronghorn Prospect:
Pronghorn Prospect, north of I-94, between Dickinson and Belfield
Pronghorn Prospect, south of I-94, west of Dickinson
- Whiskey Joe -- nw of Park, Park west of Bell
- Bell -- north of Belfield
- Park -- east of Bell
- North Creek -- between Bell and New Hradec
- New Hradec -- east of Bell, ne of Zenith
- Dutch Henry Butte -- east of New Hradec
- Green River -- east of Belfield, north of Zenith, north of I-94; west of Dickinson
- South Heart -- south of Dutch Henry Butte -- south of I-94; west of Dickinson
- Zenith -- south of Bell, east of Belfield; west of South Heart; south of I-94; west of Dickinson
- Gaylord -- south of Belfield; south of the interstate; west of Zenith
- Fryburg -- sw of Belfield; west of Gaylord
- Davis Creek -- sw of Belfield; south of Fryburg; southwest of Gaylord oil field

A Note For and About the Granddaughters
In 2004 I began an aggressive reading program. I had not read for pleasure since college but in 2004, near the end of my Air Force career, when I thought I was done with traveling, I was sent overseas to a remote air base.
The commander set me up in a very nice room on base and the first thing I did to combat the loneliness was to start reading. I remember the commander walking into my room shortly after I had arrived; he was shocked to see a stack of books about four feet high. On the weekends I walked many, many miles in the countryside, but during the week I read books in the evening for pleasure.
That aggressive reading program has continued. You can see a small part of my library at one of my other blogs. I go through different phases. I went through a Virginia Woolf phase, and then an Anaïs Nin phase, a James Joyce phase, and eventually an Ernest Hemingway phase. I had never appreciated Hemingway; in fact, I don't ever recall reading anything of his until recently. Of all the biographies involving Hemingway, the one I enjoyed the most was the one written by his third wife, Martha Gellhorn. I am thrilled to see that someone else was intrigued by the relationship and has produced a movie, Hemingway and Gellhorn, to be shown on HBO sometime later this month. We don't 'get" HBO and I won't see the movie when it first comes out (if I ever see it) but that's fine. I have my own "myth" of those two and don't want to have a movie disrupt/distort it.
I am thrilled that the older granddaughter, age 8, is a voracious reader and retains "everything" she reads. The five-year-old is just beginning to read and one gets the feeling she will pick up reading even more quickly than the first one did and become just as much a reader. We all spend a lot of time reading together, and as they get older, the group reading becomes even more enjoyable.
