Summary:
- fifteen wells; 8 Three Forks; 7 middle Bakken; one dry (a middle Bakken)
- most were small fracks; one huge frack;
- some still said to be flowing (no pump)
- most are now off line due to low price of oil
- this drilling unit is only one mile wide; thirty horizontals across this one mile; fifteen in each formation, the middle Bakken and the first bench, Three Forks;
- still not at max density infill in either formation;
- deeper benches of the Three Forks yet to be drilled
- BR looking for 30 wells in this drilling unit; 14 already there; sixteen more
- note: technically only eight more in each 1280-acre unit (if that make sense)
