August 8, 2013: a reader suggests the delineation of the LOWER Three Forks by CLR could be the story of the year, 2013. I can't argue. It's a much bigger story than I think folks realize.

Some quick data points (most numbers rounded for easier recall):
- one million acres in the Bakken, North Dakota
- one million boe reserves
- current production: 150,000 boepd
- CLR: 13 wells targeting the lower TF
- EOG, COP, XTO, ZEN: 5 well total targeting the lower TF
- TF2: 10 wells
- TF3: 6 wells
- TF4: 2 wells
Key observation: the lower Three Forks has little faulting or structure; production interference can occur in areas with severe faulting and natural fracturing (think Monterey Shale in California)Charlotte unit testing completed, McKenzie County, west of the Nesson anticline:
- TF2 and TF3 proven productive
- no evidence of production interference between wells in the Charlotte unit
- Colter TF3 producing at 1,750 boepd at 3,200 psi with no indication of pressure drawdown
