The well holding this lease by production:

• 18752, 2,194, Enerplus, Henry Bad Gun 17A-20-1H, 22 stages; 2.4 million lbs; Moccasin Creek, t7/10; cum 503K 1/20; from the file report:

• 10 miles southeast of Mandaree in Dunn County
• part of Simray's Bakken program within the Williston Basin
• offset wells were essential in curve operations and for landing the well bore within the preferred target interval
• spud March 29, 2010
• vertical hole drilled in 66 hours
• the curve was drilled in 34.5 hours (currently, curves are generally drilled in 12 - 18 hours)
• it appears the lateral was drilled in 133 hours
• the lateral well bore remained in the target zone 90% of the time; and, 100% of its length was drilled within the greater middle Bakken interval
• background gas: 100 - 1,800 units
• gas shows ranged from 500 to 3,500 units before the flow was directed to the gas buster;
• some shows were as high as 6,000 units
• flares: 1-3 feet; increased to 10' as the lateral progressed
• the rig: Precision 512; spud to TD -- 21 days; an incredible job back in 2010

Production steady but non-descript from July, 2010, to December, 2019
