Abstract
New technologies such as horizontal drilling and various fracturing techniques have led to economic production from the Bakken, which was previously considered marginally economic. These techniques have been evaluated, along with a full economic evaluation for 08-009-09W2M, which is currently undrilled and lies in the heart of the Bakken light oil play. A completion program has been outlined based on the feasibility of developing the section with today’s technology and oil prices.
