Comments: The existing wells are not good wells, and yet they are in the sweet spot of the Bakken. In addition, Whiting is going to significantly increase the number of wells in these two drilling units (one, a 640-acre unit; the other, a 1280-acre unit). One well is still flowing (at least according to NDIC) even though it was drilled four years ago. It will be very interesting to see how these new wells perform.
