Completed -- But There Could Be Factual, Typographical Errors
Some Assumptions May Be Incorrect

This is what it appears to me now. Do not make any decisions based on what you read here. I often make factual and typographical errors. If this information is important to you, go to the source.

The location of EOG's proposed 12-well pad, multiple pay zones, including multiple zones in the Three Forks. Note the area in purple is 960-acre spacing:

29679, loc, EOG, West Clark 06-01M, Clarks Creek, 1-151-95, a monitoring well; from a sundry form: the subject well is a strategraphic test well to seismically monitor fractures in the laterals of the adjacent West Clark 103-, 104-, 105-, 106-, 107-, 114-, 115-, and 116-0136H wells. Well will not be produced from any formation.

EOG's "100-series" wells are three Forks wells.

The permits, all for Lot 4, 1-151-95, Clarks Creek, McKenzie County:

• 31246, West Clark 8-0136H, Bakken, 960-acre, 250 FSL, 685 FWL; 2418 FSL, 842 FWL
• 31247, West Clark 103-0136H, Bakken, 960-acre, 250 FSL, 785 FWL; 2420 FSL, 1492 FWL
• 31248, West Clark 104-0136H, Bakken, 960-acre, 250 FSL, 835 FWL; 2423 FSL, 1805 FWL
• 31249, West Clark 105-0136H, Bakken, 960-acre, 250 FSL, 885 FWL; 2358 FSL, 2096 FWL
• 31250, West Clark 106-0136H, Bakken, 960-acre, 250 FSL, 935 FWL; 2255 FSL, 2350 FEL
• 31251, West Clark 107-0136H, Bakken, 960-acre, 250 FSL, 985 FWL; 2255 FSL, 2039 FEL
• 31252, West Clark 116-0136H, Bakken, 960-acre, 250 FSL, 1035 FWL; 278 FSL, 1705 FEL
• 31253, West Clark 126-0136H, Three Forks B3, 960 acre, 200 FSL, 845 FWL; 2424 FSL, 620 FWL
• 31254, West Clark 127-0136H, Three Forks B2, 960 acre, 200 FSL, 895 FWL; 2420 FSL, 1016 FWL
• 31255, West Clark 134-0136H, Three Forks B3, 960 acre, 200 FSL, 945 FWL; 2426 FSL, 1166 FWL
• 31256, West Clark 128-0136H, Three Forks B1, 960 acre, 200 FSL, 995 FWL; 2421 FSL, 1316 FWL
• 31257, West Clark 129-0136H, Three Forks B2, 960 acre, 200 FSL, 1045 FWL; 2425 FSL, 1618 FWL

The target zone is as listed on the permit. My hunch is that some things may change. I would bet that in general:

• "100 - 119-series" wells target the upper Three Forks (TF1)
• "120-series" wells target the second bench
• "130-series" wells target the third bench

Obviously it does not hold in all cases based on the data above. There are some exceptions in the data above including several "100-series" wells targeting the "Bakken," not otherwise specified.
