Another Nice Whiting TFS Coming Off Confidential List Today -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

21483, 2,503, Whiting, Marsh 21-16TFH-R; Dutch Henry Butte; Three Forks; another nice well; a re-entry; t11/11; cum 57K 3/12; 30 stages; 2 million lbs; gas averages at 1,500 at one point; 3,500 units later; 10' to 25' constant flare. Middle Bakken only five feet thick in this area.

I recently blogged about a string of Whiting wells in southwest North Dakota, between Belfield and Dickinson. I believe this is Whiting's Pronghorn prospect which is a bit southeast of Whiting's Lewis & Clark prospect. In my mind, they are still one and the same; I need to remember to separate them.

I sound like a broken record, but Whiting's Lewis & Clark prospect in southwest North Dakota is geographically 3.5 x larger than the Sanish, and the Whiting TFS wells, on average, might be better than the wells in the Sanish, if that's possible. If northeast McKenzie County is the bull's eye of the Bakken in the north, Whiting's Pronghorn prospect might be the bull's eye of the Pronghorn/TF formation.

For newbies, a snapshot of Whiting and its operations can be found here.  Compare this well with the Mastel well that I was so excited about yesterday.

Also here.  The Pronghorn prospect is a little bit southeast of the Lewis & Clark prospect.
