<strong>BAKKEN</strong> LIGHT OIL<br />
In the Antler/Sinclair <strong>review</strong> area, the Bakken has produced<br />
about 5.0 million barrels of oil from over 420 wells and<br />
currently produces at an average combined daily rate of<br />
over 8,700 bopd from almost 380 wells ( tables, opposite<br />
page). Tundra Oil and Gas, the main producer, accounts<br />
for about 80% of the current daily production, and Rideau<br />
Petroleums supplies for about 14%. The daily production<br />
of other operators is currently only minor. These numbers<br />
are current to December 31, 2005 for Manitoba, and to<br />
May 31, 2006 for Saskatchewan. They refer to the Bakken<br />
wells highlighted on the Antler/Sinclair <strong>review</strong> area well<br />
location map ( page B23).<br />
The production graph ( below) tracks the history of Manitoba<br />
Bakken oil production in terms of the combined average daily<br />
oil rate, and the number of producing wells, since Bakken<br />
production started in Manitoba in 1985.<br />
On the Saskatchewan side of the Antler/Sinclair <strong>review</strong><br />
area, the Bakken has produced only about 129,000 barrels<br />
of oil from 26 wells, and the combined average daily rate is<br />
510 bopd. The main operators on this side of the border are<br />
Tundra, Grand Banks, and Canetic. Activity is just beginning<br />
on this side of the <strong>review</strong> area.<br />
In the Williston Basin, the Late Devonian/Early Mississippian<br />
Bakken is a tri-partite sequence deposited during marginal<br />
marine and deep marine conditions. The Upper and Lower<br />
Members are deep marine basinal facies deposited in water<br />
depths exceeding 200 metres. The Middle Member contains<br />
