From the file report:

Bailey field stated in the operator's paperwork; turned out to be in Killdeer oil field just one mile to the west of Bailey;
part of MRO's Hector Prospect in the Williston Basin
target: middle Bakken
dirt-work date on the permit request: March 1, 2020;
two laterals already drilled
lateral 2, TD TVD: 10,780 feet
lateral 1: 20,225 feet MD; open hole;
lateral 2: 20,530 feet MD; perforation;
proposed work:

MRO is planning to refrack this well.
Originally an open hole completion in 2008 and drilled when toe setbacks were 500' from the respective line.
This well had an original TD depth of 20,225' MD (at approx 607' FNL of section 3). MRO plans to put a drilling rig on this well, clean out the existing lateral to TD, and extend/sidetrack the lateral at the last good survey on original lateral at a depth (approx 175' FNL of section 3).
MRO will then run a cemented liner for a 45-stage plug and perf style completion, completing the well when other future drilled offset new wells to the west are schedule to be fracked in August, 2020

I assume these are the "new" wells being referred to:
