The acquisition also includes four gross (3.1 net) wells that have been drilled and are waiting on completion and one gross (0.6 net) well that is currently drilling ahead.
Net oil and gas production is approximately 3,500 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) per day. Proved reserves are 19.7 million bbl. equivalent (81% oil). Pro forma, Kodiak’s total acreage position in the Williston Basin will be approximately 155,000 net acres.
