Case 22125: Application of Kodiak Oil & Gas (USA) Inc. for an order amending the applicable orders for the Truax-Bakken Pool to authorize up to twenty horizontal wells to be drilled on three 1280-acre spacing units described as Sections 26 and 35; Sections 27 and 34; Sections 28 and 33, T.154N., R.98W., Williams County, ND, and for such other relief as may be appropriate.

I believe these are all the P Wood wells. 

When I first started blogging, I think we were told that it would take about 20,000 wells to drill out the Bakken. At that time, I did the math, and I came up with a figure of 48,000 wells. Soon after that, there were reports that it would indeed take 50,000 wells to drill out the Bakken. Since then, the number has gone to 100,000 and perhaps even more. The Bakken truly has to be one of the most interesting formations to have been discovered.
