More on the Oasis Martell well:

• Glass Bluff formation is in the far northwest corner of McKenzie County; Foreman Butte is to the southeast
• oil and gas shows in the middle Bakken
• the Pronghorn (Devonian) member forms an unconformity between the lower Bakken and the Three Forks and is present in the  Foreman Butte field and surrounding fields
• oil and gas is present in the Pronghorn with a porosity of 12 - 15%
• the 1st bench of the Three Forks was the target: 7 - 12% porosity; hydrocarbon saturation actually appears to be about half what it was in the Pronghorn;
• the Nisku (Devonian): 7 - 18% porosity; hydrocarbon saturation similar to 1st bench Three Forks in this area; gas shows were "minimal" but similar to the other formations for this well with the exception that the target formation averaged greater than 500 units for the majority of the well, and spiked regularly as high as 1,000 to 2,500+ units
• one trip flare was in excess of 10 feet; smaller flares 2 - 5' observed later
