25 October 2007 Ms. Karlene Fine, Executive Director North Dakota Industrial Commission State Capitol, 14th Floor 600 East Boulevard Ave., Dept 405 Bismarck, ND 58505‐0840 Dear Ms. Fine: Accompanying this cover letter is a grant application from Headington Oil Company, L.P. on behalf of its working interest partners Hess Corporation and Continental Resources, Inc., and technical partner Schlumberger Oilfield Services (together the “Consortium”), to the North Dakota Oil and Gas Research Council for support funding of a research project involving the Bakken Formation in eastern Williams County, North Dakota. The project includes the drilling of three parallel horizontal wells (two producing wells and one monitoring well) into the middle member of the Bakken Formation within a single 640‐acre spacing unit. The monitoring well will also include a vertical pilot hole through the Bakken and into the Three Forks for the purpose of obtaining continuous core samples from productive intervals for analysis of rock properties and to allow for conventional and select special logging of the interval. Geophones will be employed in the horizontal section of the monitoring well to record micro‐seismic responses during the hydraulic fracturing of offsetting producing wells to test different completion methods. The project also includes plans for the conversion of the monitoring well to an infill producing well for the evaluation of incremental oil recovery and potential interference. This well may ultimately be re‐completed as an injector for future EOR pilot project considerations, which may also have an application for CO2 sequestration. Pending approval by the NDIC of the requested spacing unit, this letter shall form a binding commitment on behalf of the Consortium to complete the proposed project should the Research Council agree to provide financial support. Please advise if you need any additional information for the consideration of this application. Sincerely, James R. Ehrets, VP Exploration Headington Oil Company, L. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Bakken Shale Discussion" group.
