Wow is this going to be the break out year for Billings and Golden Valley counties?? It also appears like this may be the year to see what truly lies beneath Hettinger and Slope counties, I like it!!
ReplyDeleteOne of the more incredible hearing dockets I've seen in awhile.
DeleteYes the honey holes are mainly found 50+ wells in one area. This is a combination of the manufacturing stage and the future production stage. The producers need to still protect their acerage positions yet prove to stockholders what they have to acheive production goals. Nothing new but very exciting. I think there are lots of surprises yet to come. Never under estimate the Wiliston Basin! I beleive everything has been severly under estimated when it comes to recoverable oil.
ReplyDeleteWilliston-Bakken Zones 2 and and 3....what sections does that cover?
ReplyDeleteI don't know; someone else might be able to tell us, but looking at the NDIC GSI map server and spacing, zones II and III are most likely sections 3 - 10, in T154N-R100W.
