  1. I find KOG's request to permit Madison wells in the Epping and Stockyard Creek fields to be interesting. I know there are a bunch of old Madison wells running east to west in that area. It's my understanding that Madison wells now utilize horizontal drilling. Do they need to frac Madison wells, like the Bakken and/or Three Forks wells? How much does it cost to drill a typical Madison well?

    1. Wow, that was perfect timing. I was just getting ready to past the KOG Stockyard-Madison and Epping-Madison case as a stand-alone post.

      It will be here:

      At the moment, I do not know the answer to your question. Hopefully, some one will answer your question. I'm as interested as you are.
