Kraken Bigfoot Wells In The Sanish Oil Field -- October 20, 2019

Note: this page will not be updated. The Kraken Bigfoot wells and other wells will be tracked elsewhere.

The Kraken Bigfoot wells will be tracked here.

These Kraken wells in the Sanish are all on confidential status, but they will be big wells, #36010 - #36013. These are conf status but based on their names, it appears they will run south to north, even though they are located farther south in section 26. One almost wonders if they will be extended long laterals, three miles long, three sections (section 23, 14, and 11)?
