<<< $BOPT >>> The South Bakken Prospect is located in a prime area of the Bakken Fairway in Townships 19-20 North and Ranges 5-6-7 West, where the western edge of the Bakken Fairway plunges into contact with the tectonically heated Thrust Zone and the resulting thermal maturity of the Bakken offers the highest potential oil production. Specifically, the prospect lies within the key oil producing zone where thermal maturity (Ro) is between 0.7% and 1.5%. Oil production begins when Ro is above 0.65% and slows when Ro is over 1.3%. The Total Oil Content (T.O.C.) readings in the prospect area are high as well, reading between 7% and 14%, and water content of the Bakken in the area is low.
