From a November 25, 2014, post:

In a comment, the reader noted this from Whiting's 3Q14 presentation, in which Whiting said its Tarpon pad demonstrated that "Whiting controls the sweet spot of the Williston Basin" and presented this as evidence (back on confidential status); two of these three wells broke the fracking record):

• 27520, 7,824 boe, Whiting, Flatland Federal 11-4TFH, upper Three Forks Cycle 1, Twin Valley, gas ranged from 150 unit so 9,274 units.
• 27521, 7,120 boe, Whiting, Flatland Federal 11-4HR, middle Bakken, target zone about 42 feet thick;
• 27522, 5,930 boe, Whiting, Flatland Federal 11-4TFHU, a lower Three Forks well; the Middle Bakken was about 42 feet thick; it looks like the TF Cycle 1 might have been about 74 feet thick; background gas for target zone, the TF Cycle 2, ranged from17 to 8,500 units, in excess of 9,500 units during trips; in application referred to as Three Forks B1;

These three wells are on a single pad about 1,000 feet to the west of a Tarpon Federal pad in the northwest corner of section 4-152-97, Twin Valley oil field. 

Two of the three wells had been noted before; this offers an opportunity to take another look at the wells. The Whiting Flatland wells, noted a little bit farther below, are the two wells that broke the fracking record with 94- and 102-stage NCS coiled tube fracking.
