Little Creature 1-15-14H (SSN WI 27.7%)
The Little Creature middle Bakken infill has been drilled to a total depth of 19,430 feet, and a 4-1/2” liner was run and cemented to that depth. The Frontier Rig 24 was released on 9 November 2013. Preparations are underway to move the rig to Blackdog 3-13-14H.

Blackdog 3-13-14H (SSN WI 25.03%)
The Tofte 1 pad has been prepared to receive the Frontier Rig 24 for drilling operations on Blackdog 3-13-14H. The rig move and rig up on location is expected to be completed this week. This well will be a middle Bakken lateral and is expected to follow the previously planned Swan trajectory, that is, the infill location between the Rodney 1-14H well (SSN WI 27.18%) and the Sail and Anchor 1-13-14HBK well (SSN WI 25.03%).

Frac operations Tofte 2 pad
Following mobilization of the rig to Blackdog 3-13-14H, the Tofte 2 pad will be turned over to fracture stimulation operations associated with the three drilled and completed wells on that pad. This will include Coopers (SSN WI 27.7%), Tooheys (SSN WI 27.7%), and Little Creature (SSN WI 27.7%). Fracking operations are currently expected to commence on or about November 18th and should be completed by early December.

Bluff #1-11 (SSN WI 66%)
Construction of the access road to the Bluff #1-11 well site has commenced. A concrete slab has been constructed across an existing pipeline to allow for access to the drill site. After the concrete pad has cured, the balance of the road and drill pad will be built. Drilling operations are currently expected to commence towards the end of November.
