Steve, Russ Atkins the senior Geophysicist for Continental in the play, told me that extensive drilling would be as far west as Cutbank MT, south to Hardin MT, south by Southeast to Buffalo SD, East to Lemmon SD and north from there through ND, back into Canada by 2018.
He also told me that if the political climate of our Country changes in the next 20 years, the estimated longevity of this play, the oil companies will drill more aggressively below the Bakken for there is more oil there than in the Bakken, perhaps as much or more than whats under the Saudis. That would make a hundred year play in the Williston Basin.
