Random Note on KOG -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Disclaimer: with this much data; with data taken from various dated snapshots -- there will be errors. See original source documents to fact check.

Reviewing the KOG December, 2011, corporate presentation. Data points that jump out at me:
  • The North Plains Energy acquisition is in the Bull's Eye of the Bakken; this may be the best acquisition in the Bakken since 2010 by any company
  • Current production: about 16,000 boepd; end of 2012: 30,000 boepd (I think this exceeds BEXP; similar to CLR's -- have to check)
  • More and more multi-well pads; doesn't diminish production; 700' wellbore separation
  • 1 million bbls EUR
  • $10 million/long lateral; similar to $5 million for short lateral
  • Will increase # of rigs from 5 to 12 by end of 2012
Bottom line: impressive

From my FAQs page.  Note: the net acreage has been updated; other data may not be current.
