Marathon Oil Corp. reported an average 30-day initial production of more than 2,400 boe/d (84% oil) from a four-well Middle Bakken pad in the Ajax area of the Williston basin in Dunn County, North Dakota.
“Strong early results in Ajax mark another important step forward in our ongoing efforts to extend the core of our Bakken acreage position, building upon recent successful core extension tests in Elk Creek and Southern Hector,” said Marathon Oil Pres. and Chief Executive Officer Lee Tillman. "Through enhanced area-specific completion designs,” he said, the company continues to “meaningfully uplift the quality of our inventory.”
The company’s two-well Lars pad in southern Hector achieved an average 30-day initial production of 1,810 boe/d (83% oil), as reported in third-quarter results.
