The ONEOK gas conservation and gathering project under construction is currently estimated to begin initial operations in March 2013. ONEOK is currently building out the compressor station, the 12" High Pressure Discharge line and the northern most East/West gathering pipeline.
Our initial two Middle Bakken Exploration test wells yielded positive results, and five additional laterals are currently being fraced. Significant 2013 drilling capital has been allocated to further delineate this resource emerging over the Ambrose Block in Divide County.
Operational initiatives at Williston Hunter's Tableland Consolidated Battery Facility have increased overall fluid handling capabilities, and ongoing field electrification will further reduce downtime and operating costs in the future.
Mr. Glenn Dawson, President of Williston Hunter, commented, "In the fourth quarter of 2012, Williston Hunter concluded the Central Divide Acquisition of approximately 20,000 net mineral acres and evolved as an Operator in Divide County, North Dakota. The first well targeting Three Forks Sanish has now spudded and we plan to utilize one mile lateral technology. Drilling operations for Three Forks Sanish continued in harvest mode on low risk high return eco-pad infill wells with EUR potential up to 500 MBOE per well. Fourth quarter drilling realized some of the highest IP 24 hour flowback results experienced to-date in our region."
