Continental Finds A Lot To Like About The Three Forks

Continental Res. announced today that its first foray into the Three Forks has been a success, and investors liked what they heard and boosted the CLR stock price up 23% today. The company's Bice 1-29H, sec 29, T147, R96, Dunn Co., flowed an average of about 700 bbl/day over a seven day period from about 50 ft. below the upper portion of the middle member of the Bakken where most laterals have targeted.

The well is the company's first attempt to test whether the TF is a separate reservoir that is not be drained by mid-Bakken wells. If the TF is indeed a discrete reservoir, a whole new chapter may need to be written on this play.

Will they suppress the flow back to the normal 100-200 barrels?

Also noted is that this outstanding Dunn County well appears to be outside and to the SE of the USGS "Eastern Expulsion Zone", in the "Middle Sandstone Member" AU...

We just hired a local surveyor (Dickinson ND) to do a little study for us near this location. If anyone else is looking for the same try http://www.HighlandsEng.com . Good group of guys and they know their stuff. I'll let you know what we come up with out there.
