This was done quickly. There are likely to be errors, typographical and factual. I will come back to this later and correct errors if anyone spots errors or if other corrections need to be made. In addition, if anyone has additional information on this area, I'm sure there will be readers that will be interested. I have no mineral rights and have no specific interest in this area more than any other area in the Bakken.
Whiting has proposed three new pads in this area northwest of Belfield:
In addition, I will update the various wells that are already producing. "Open circles" on the NDIC map indicate that at this point permits have been let, but the wells are not yet on confidential list nor has any drilling begun.
From a Whiting presentation (I should have included a marker on Belfield; Belfield is located just below the "date box" in the screenshot below; about 4 miles SSE of Smith 34-12TFH):
NDIC map screenshot today:
The nearest rig in the area is to the east, in Bell oil field, and according to NDIC, it is "undetermined" where this rig will go next.

The Wells In The Graphic Above
Note: see first comment below -- #32288 (Smith Federal 34-12-2PH, SESE 12-140-100) is being drilled (June 7, 2017) that was not added to the GIS map in
section 12. Just like 41-15PHU and 44-10PHU are not on the map, but will
be drilled. I wonder how that happens? How some are left off the map?
And as I had hoped, they went from Bell to Park. Also, I hope someday
they do refrack, would be interesting to see what happens. 24159, 1,195, Whiting, Pronghorn Federal 14-10PH, Park, t2/15; cum 132K 5/18; typical decline rate;
