For example, Continental could begin with a north-south oriented Middle Bakken lateral, then move over 660 feet to drill a Three Forks-Sanish well along the same orientation and followed by a sEcond Bakken and then, finally, a sEcond Three Forks-Sanish.
All four wells would be sequentially fracced once the rig moves, according to the company.
To be able to drill closer together, Continental had to get a waiver from North Dakota state regulations that called for a 500-foot well setback from each end of a 1280-foot section and now can drill with a 50-foot setback.
