Comment:

The Whiting wildcat, the McDanold (#26008), 11-142-105, looks interesting. It is three miles north of:

It is about three miles northwest of another Whiting well:

• 24910, 45, Whiting, Meyers 31-19, Bonnie View field, a Red River well, only 12,000 feet, a directional well, t5/13; cum 5K12/13; 

and about two miles WNW of another well,

• 8324, 109, Encore, Barkland 1-18-2A, Bonnie View field, a Red river well, only 12,000 feet, a vertical well; t8/82; cum 250K 12/13;
