Weekend ResearchWas a little bored over the weekend so I did some research on the Red River formation, the formation that these two Nordic wells are going to be targetting. Looks positive from the geologic abstracts i was able to find. Here's the abstracts.
Simulations of petroleum migration within the Red River petroleum system of the Williston Basin show that petroleum generation and secondary migration preceded the onset of an active hydrodynamic regime that persists to the present day. Furthermore: (1) a better understanding of the eastern limit of the mature source rock area, which is largely facies controlled, is required to reduce exploration risk east of the Nesson Anticline, (2)
the Red River play types that have been prosperous in southeastern Saskatchewan should extend considerable distances to the north, as well as throughout central Saskatchewan and western Manitoba, Canada, and (3) accumulations that may have developed in the southwest of the basin have likely been flushed and redistributed subsequent to the onset of hydrodynamics.

This one talks more about the Williston Basin, but as the other article talks about the high possibility of migrating north, we may be in luck!!!
Happy hunting!
