Whiting -- Three Forks -- Marmon Wells - North Dakota, USA

For those of you who have been following Whiting's activity targeting the Three Forks in southwestern North Dakota, some folks have noticed low production numbers from a couple of Marmon wells:
Marmon 12-18TF produced only small amounts for three months and shows no production since October 2010. The drilling rig moved off sister well, Marmon 11-18TF, this past April, and received a tight hole designation on 8-30-11. 
It turns out Whiting is using at least one of the Marmon wells as a monitoring well:
Whiting is using the Marmon 12-18TFH for monitoring reservoir pressure and temperature. A notice in the well file states that Whiting ran five pressure and temperature guages connected to a fiber optics cable. Whiting requested approval to continue the monitoring until November 2011.
