Frontier Rig 24 is currently drilling the lateral section of the wellbore at 16,801 feet MD in the Three Forks on the Bootleg 6-14-15TFH. The rig will then be moved to the north pad and begin drilling the two Ironbank wells.
Fracture stimulation on the Bootleg 4 and 5 will commence next week.
A rig is on site repairing the liner on the Matilda Bay 1. Following this work over the fracture stimulation program will begin once the Bootleg 6-14-15TFH is drilled.

HAWK SPRINGS PROJECT, GOSHEN COUNTY, WYOMING
Bluff 1-11 (SSN 25%)
Samson will be holding a JV partner meeting this week to discuss Samson’s intent to test the Permian Hartville 9500’ sand target zone after an additional petrophysical analysis was conducted by an outside consulting expert. This analysis confirms that the target zone shows “gas effect” on the logs and tested the gas cap, or the structurally highest point of the trap, which may contain an oil leg beneath it.
