Mogul Energy International is a Seattle-based company,
which holds a fair number of freehold leases in the northwest
portion of the review area. Its lands currently contain only
drilled and abandoned wells, one drilled in May 2006 by
Transpacific Petroleum Corp.
Almost 1,000 wells have been drilled in the Antler/Sinclair
review area, that have the potential for Bakken production
( map opposite page). These include Bakken and Torquay
producers, and wells that drilled into the Bakken, Torquay,
Three Forks, or Birdbear horizons. As the activity map shows,
drilling in 2003 and before (over 200 wells) was mainly
in the Daly Field, drilling in 2004 (rather light at about 40
wells) was split between Daly and Sinclair, drilling in 2005
(almost 200 wells) was almost entirely in the Sinclair Field,
and drilling in 2006 (almost 350 wells) was mostly at Sinclair,
but expanded significantly into the Antler area of southeastern
Saskatchewan. As of September 2006, over ninety wells were
licensed to drill to the Bakken or deeper.
Crown land in the core drilling areas is now mostly leased.
The land activity map ( above) shows open crown, leased
crown, freehold and land posted for an October sale in
Saskatchewan. Also shown is land acquired in land sales
during 2004, 2005 and so far in 2006. Crown land in the
area of the Sinclair Field was mostly acquired in 2004. A lot
