Update
August 15, 2011: If you want to see a huge TFS well, click here. In four months: 114,000 bbls; still in DRL status when that production was reported. (DRL status means the well has not yet been completed, or if it has, it is still within the 30-day window of required reporting.)

Press release.The Company is currently drilling a North Dakota Bakken horizontal well to test the productivity of a deeper oil-bearing zone in the Three Forks formation. Five cores taken by the Company across the play reveal several oil-saturated dolomitic layers in the Three Forks as much as 220 feet below the bottom of the Lower Bakken shale. “Evidence from the cores indicates the potential for incremental reserves in the Three Forks,” Mr. Hamm said.Some folks keep talking about multiple pay zones in the Alberta Bakken. I contend that we will see the same thing in the North Dakota Bakken, although "we" may be "comparing apples and oranges."
I posted the following which was a comment I received regarding this well:
I don't know which well it is; but I am very, very curious as to its location vis a vis what Whiting is doing in southwestern North Dakota,and particularly what Chesapeake is doing in southwestern North Dakota.Is it possible, CLR, WLL, and CHK have noticed something exciting about that part of the state?
