So far, Brigham’s 10 lateral high frac stage Bakken and Three Forks wells have averaged an early peak production rate of approximately 2,240 barrels of oil equivalent per day.

The company said that Brigham maintains an approximate 16% working interest in the state, which is the sixth well completed under the drilling participation agreement with US Energy. Brigham’s interest in the state is anticipated to increase upon payout of the first six wells in the drilling participation agreement.

The State represents Brigham’s eastern most well in its Rough Rider project area in Williams County, North Dakota. The state is approximately miles to the northeast of Brigham’s Williston 25-36 #1H, which had an early 24 hour flow back rate of approximately 3,394 barrels of oil equivalent per day. The state is Brigham’s eighth consecutive long lateral high frac stage producer in its Rough Rider project area of Williams and McKenzie County, North Dakota.
