I don't always post updated corporate presentations; just too much "stuff" to post. <br /><br />It's been my impression that the Pronghorn is still "hit and miss." In general I have not been as impressed as I thought I would be based on the high prices paid for the leases. However, there are some good Pronghorn wells. But the Pronghorn doesn't seem, yet, comparable to what Whiting is doing in the Sanish. It will be interesting to follow.Bruce Oksolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952652803684625738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149283829854298377.post-78467459135301923002012-11-28T06:44:55.459-06:002012-11-28T06:44:55.459-06:00Hello sir.

There has been some updates to the orginial presentation on the Pronghorn. http://www.whiting.com/investor-relations/presentations-and-media-events/, the presentation of 11/19/2012 Pronghorn. I find it interesting on page 23 they use the well on my brothers land DRS 24, to state geology matters. Take care.

That field produces on a faulted anticline which provided natural fracturing for the "Sanish sand" to be oil productive (1950s). <br /><br />Since the Middle Bakken drilling boom, there has been confusion since WLL has an area in western Mountrail County that they call "Sanish", a field designation NOT the producing zone. Therefore, NDGS intends to officially change the designation of that uppermost sandstone/siltsone, just on top of the Three Forks formation and immediately underlying the Lower Bakken shale, to Pronghorn formation. <br /><br />And there you have it. <br /><br />The Pronghorn is sourced by the immediately overlying Lower Bakken shale where they are in proximity."
