Two Rigs On Site On The Far East Edge of The ND Bakken -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Don alerted me to these two wells.

Look at the "state" view on the NDIC GIS map server -- there are two rigs so far east, they stand out

• 17623, dry, BEXP, 25-143-90 (updated 6/12)
• 21284, drl, Cirque, 16-142-90 (updated 6/12)

We probably won't know until next year but if these are good wells, BEXP and Cirque have really extended the play.

And, of course, we're waiting for the results of some Chesapeake wells in southwestern North Dakota. [August 17, 2012: and we know how that all turned out. Dismal.]
