My interpretation of the log chart in question is that it looks like the Three Forks is only separated from the Middle Bakken by a few feet of Lower Bakken Shale. Whereas, in other areas the Lower Bakken Shale is 100 feet thick.
Whether that is good news or not, I suspect it will take a drill bit to find out. Based on what I have heard in various driller conference calls any frac job of a horizontal hole may extend up to 100 feet vertically. So if they drill a horizontal in the Middle Bakken, then a frac job should easily migrate into the Three Forks in this area. This formation may be similar to the Hess wells directly to the east in Ward County. Those wells supposedly tested the Three Forks and results have been reported to be mediocre.
