Production has decreased significantly from July due to new and legacy
wells in North Stockyard being shut in for offset fracs. These wells
will be put back on production during September as the offset fracs are
completed. The lost production is expected to be made up once these
wells are restored to production due to the additional fracturing
resulting from the new well fracs.
NORTH STOCKYARD PROJECT, WILLIAMS COUNTY, NORTH DAKOTA
The infill development plan for North Stockyard consists of 8 middle
Bakken wells that have been drilled and 22 Three Forks wells. The Three
Forks wells consist of 8 First Bench Three Forks wells, 6 Second Bench
Three Forks wells, and 8 Third Bench Three Forks wells. For ease of
reference, the current status of each well is set out below with
separate tables for each drill pad:

The Matilda Bay 2-15H is currently flowing and has produced an average
of 344 BOPD over the course or the last week.
The Matilda Bay 1-15H will remain shut in until the Bootleg 6, 7, and 8
fracks are completed.
The Billabong 2-13-14HBK well is presently scheduled to be fracked at
the end of Sept and the frack will consist of 35 stages.
The Bootleg 4 & 5 wells were flowed back briefly but are currently shut
in for the Bootleg 6, 7, & 8 frac.
Bootleg 6, 7, and 8 are set to have wireline work done for pressure
testing. The fracks are scheduled for the last half of Sept. Each well
is programmed for a 30 stage frack.
Frontier Rig 24 was released from Bootleg 8 and was moved to the TF
north pad. Currently it is being rigged up on the Ironbank 4 location
where it is scheduled to drill two eastern laterals in the TF-1 bench
(Ironbank 4 and 5).
