**************************************

OXY USA's Joseph Carter well in the St Anthony oil field has produced in 4 months, 6 days, what some operators produce in 15 days; 29 stages; 1.8 million lbs; Pronghorn member of the Bakken formation (I believe the "Pronghorn member" is similar to the Sanish Sand(s) in Sanish oil field.

OXY USA states that "four members of the Bakken Formation were drilled: the Upper Bakken Shale member; the Middle Bakken Member; the Lower Bakken Shale Member; and, the Pronghorn Member.

The first member: a shale.
The second member: siltstone with poor porosity
The third member: a shale, sounding by description almost identical to the first member
The fourth member: siltstone with poor porosity; deeper into the member it showed a greater percentage of dolomite than siltstone;

Drilling time: re-entered on November 5, 2012, and reached bottom hole on November 28, 2012.

The St Anthony oil field is tracked here. I updated the field this morning. Remember: the older OXY USA wells used to be Anschutz wells.
