The Benches

For those who are new to the site and coming across the phrase, "the lower benches" for the first time: here is a short blurb posted earlier this year. [The link is broken; I will try to find the link.]

Continental Resources provides great graphics of the Three Forks benches. Go to the Continental Resources website; click on the "For Investors" tab at the top of the page; then "Events and Presentations" tab at the top right; and click on any presentation you want. Slides 13 and 14 of the August corporate presentation shows the "benches."

In addition, there is a stand-alone post on CLR's Charlotte wells testing the hypothesis that there are four producing benches in the Three Forks formation.
