Communication Between the Bakken Formation and Three Forks

For newbies, this was an issue of a year ago or so, whether the Three Forks formations (upper and lower) and the Bakken formations (upper, middle, and lower) communicated with each other. Whether targeting and fracking one formation was adequate to drain both formations.

I discussed that in several places but it comes up periodically so I want to establish one page where I can link past and future postings on this same subject.

So, this is not opening up a new discussion on an old subject. It is simply, for me, some blog housekeeping, which I hate to do, but is occasionally necessary.

Continental Resources conclusions:
  • Neither zone can be adequately drained by completion in another zone
  • Limited connectivity will require wells in both zones to adequately harvest the reserves
  • Reserves from MB and TFS are similar in magnitude
