The curve portion of the well will start near 10,614 feet and land in the Middle Bakken Formation at approximately 11,685 feet. The rig will then run and cement 7 inch casing in Coopers and lateral drilling operations will start on Coopers. Following liner installation in Coopers, the rig will skid and drill the lateral in Tooheys.
