To gain some understanding of Fraulein Gretel 11 and her current state of
water inundation in the context of the Brockton fault line and its implications for
our acreage positioning
- The time has come boys for our next research project *
The unconventional Bakken Play is now well-established in North
Dakota, Saskatchewan and in the Elm Coulee area of eastern Montana.
At the recent RMAG and PTAC Fall Symposium on the Bakken, Steve
Sonnenberg, of the Colorado School of Mines, identified a new play
northeast of Elm Coulee and southeast of the Brockton Froid Fault
System. Preliminary reports of success indicate initial production rates
of 369 to 2,962 boepd from wells that are characterized by higher
water cuts than in other producing areas. He described the area as a
zone of high heat flow and slight overpressuring.
Northwest of the Brockton Froid Fault System, the Upper Middle Bakken
(sandstone) tends to be thicker and more porous with reservoir pressures
that are more normal. This seems to indicate an area of conventional
plays. However, this region is still in close proximity to the area of mature
Bakken source rocks, and variations in the distribution of Bakken facies,
specifically the Upper Middle Bakken sandstone and Lower Middle
Bakken siltstone, may create the setting for a regional stratigraphic trap
similar to the Viewfield and Taylorton areas in Saskatchewan. This is also
an area of extensive salt solution and tectonic movements that may
have created structural traps in the Bakken.
