well, i think they are going to have a little problem drilling a 9000' lateral on 160 acres. somewhere i read that someone was proposing drilling a meandering lateral, like a snake, but that wont get them anywhere close to 9000' on a 160 acre tract.
a look back at the hz bakken drilling boom of the '90's in mckenzie, golden valley and billings counties would suggest that this (160 acre spacing) is not economically feasible. so dont buy that coupe'de ville just yet.
