If one compares the TVD/ target depth of their TF1 wells to offsetting well logs they are often targeting within 30' of the basal Lower Bakken Shale- which would be in the Pronghorn. The September Investor Presentation illustrates this on page 14.<br /><br />I haven't compared the geologic presence of the Pronghorn to the number of Three Forks target intervals in Continental's experimental high-density areas, but perhaps they are drilling fewer wells per pad where this formation is absent.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149283829854298377.post-3776822694921619792014-10-04T15:09:55.665-05:002014-10-04T15:09:55.665-05:00Got it, thank you.

It's amazing how many folks actually end up at the site (through googling, surfing) to find some very useful information -- and it all comes from readers Much appreciated.<br /><br />It's an incredible resource: 173 pages long - with graphics. It will give me something to read tonight.Bruce Oksolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952652803684625738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149283829854298377.post-24904763568193370292014-10-04T14:16:02.723-05:002014-10-04T14:16:02.723-05:00Yes, I would agree completely.
"Sanish sand...Yes, I would agree completely. <br /><br />"Sanish sand" is up near Watford City area, and "pronghorn" is more to the south. And they are practically the same, I imagine -- two different names for almost the same thing; just located in different geographical areas.<br /><br />Thank you for taking time to write; much appreciated.Bruce Oksolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952652803684625738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149283829854298377.post-88942524031108882182014-10-04T12:21:36.834-05:002014-10-04T12:21:36.834-05:00Someone wrote a whole masters thesis on it.

Varies if present at all.<br />2. more of a sandstone, more of a reservoir (like the middle bakken). Doesn't make its own oil, but a sponge for what comes from the lower bakken shale.<br />3. "sanish sand" is a subset of the pronghorn member<br />4. 4 different types of pronghorn (little differences of the rock, how deposited).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
