Quiz: Let's See How Much Readers Know About The Bakken -- June 1, 2023

Locator: 44815B.

I have so much fun solving "mysteries" in the Bakken.

CLR has two cases of interest in the June, 2023, NDIC hearing dockets. In one case, CRL will be drilling five wells in a 1600-acre stand-up unit. The question ("mystery") is this: will the laterals up/down the east half of the drilling unit, or the west half?

See if you can solve the "mystery." The case is summarized below and can be found here:

• 30154, CLR, Catwalk and/or Last Chance-Bakken, amend, i) establish an overlapping 640-acre unit, S/2 of sections 4/5-153-100; three wells; ii) establish an overlapping 1600-acre unit, sections 28/33-154-100 and N/2 of section 4-153-100, five wells; iii) establish an overlapping 1600-acre unit, sections 29/32-154-100 and N/2 of section 5-153-100; six wells; iv) establish an overlapping 1920-acre unit, S/2 of sections 4/5 and all of sections 8/9-153-100, one well; Williams and McKenzie counties.

It does not matter at all, one way or the other, and I might be wrong, but I love it when I find these little questions / "mysteries" in the Bakken.
