18806, SI, Whiting, Wolski 44-23H, Bicentennial, Bakken; this well ended up being a Scallion formation well; I don't know for sure, but the Scallion appears to be part of the "Bakken Pool" -- if so, that adds yet another formation to the Bakken Pool,... it appears that "we" have to add yet another pay zone (or formation) to the Bakken Pool. The NDIC lists this well as part of the Bakken Pool, and it is clear from more than one source, that this well ended up in the Scallion. An operator (WLL?) says that the "Scallion" is often referred to as the "False Bakken," but I see in other places that the "False Bakken" and the "Scallion" are two separate entities.
So, for the Bakken Pool, at least:
- False Bakken
- Scallion
- Upper Bakken
- Middle Bakken
- Lower Bakken
- Upper Three Forks
- Lower Three Forks
Listen to GMX yesterday at Enercon.

Slide 9 of their corporate presentation delineates the "Bakken Petroleum System."
ReplyDeleteAn interesting observation: the slide appears to be very, very precise. So it is strange to see the "Bakken Petroleum System" delineated to almost exclude all of the Lower Three Forks. "The Bakken Pool" on this slide appears to include the very top seam in the Lower Three Forks, but does not include what CLR would include as the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th benches in the Lower Three Forks.
I'm not sure if this observation means anything, but it's a great stratigraphic charg.
