What Does Every New Bakken Well Mean to North Dakota
A typical 2011 North Dakota Bakken well will produce for 29 years
If economic, enhanced oil recovery efforts canextend the life of the well
In those 29 years the average 2011 Bakken well will:
Produce approximately 540,000 barrels of oil
Generate over $20 million net profit
Pay approximately $4,585,000 in taxes$2,200,000 gross production taxes$2,000,000 extraction tax$385,000 sales tax
Pay royalties of $7,500,000 to mineral owners
Pay salaries and wages of $2,100,000
Pay operating expenses of $2,300,000
Cost $7,925,000 to drill and complete
Western North Dakota
• 1,100 to 2,700 wells/year = 2,000 expected
– 100-225 rigs = 12,000 – 27,000 jobs
– Another 10,000-15,000 jobs building infrastructure
– 225 rigs can drill the wells needed to secure leases in 2 years
– 225 rigs can drill the wells needed to develop spacing units in 16 years
– 35,000-40,000 new wells = 35,000-40,000 long term jobs

The future looks promising for sustained Bakken/Three Forks
development
Draft BLM Hydraulic Fracturing rule could double federal drilling
permit approval time or worse. Comments due
7/10/12
Draft EPA guidance on diesel fuel in hydraulic fracturing could triple
drilling permit approval time or worse.
Comments due 7/9/12
Current administration budget contains tax changes that could
reduce drilling capital 35-50%
World and U.S. economies continue to struggle. If
China joins the downward spiral oil price could fall enough to make some
areas uneconomic
