Comments And Disclaimer

To the best of my knowledge this was the first ad-free, password-free blog that told mineral owners that if they had one well in the Bakken, they would eventually have four wells, probably 8 wells, and possibly many more than that before this was all over. That was posted back in 2009.

Now why would I bring that up? Take a look at case #25789 below -- Slawson, Clarks Creek-Bakken, 24 wells on an existing 640-acre unit, section 12-151-95, McKenzie County. There are already six (6) horizontal wells in that 640-acre drilling unit. Graphics at the bottom of this post.

Disclaimer: as usual this is done very quickly and using shorthand for my benefit. There will be factual and typographical errors on this page. Do not quote me on any of this. It's for my personal use to help me better understand the Bakken. Do not read it. If you do happen to read it, do not make any investment, financial, job, relationship, or travel plans based on anything you read here or think you may have read here. If this stuff is important to you, and I doubt that it is, but if it is, go to the source.
