Bakken Depositional Model:
Prograding Delta: Forced or Normal Regression?
1.) Unit A deposited in a prograding, regressive setting
2.) Continued regression and erosion of Unit ‘A’ proximal prodelta deposits, and deposition of the unit ‘B’ delta-front sediments.
3.) Unit C deposited in a transgressive setting

Bakken Friendly Royalty Regime
•Bakken horizontal wells qualify for a very favorable Royalty Incentive Volume
•For the first 40,000 to 100,000 barrels produced, the royalty rate is 2.5% or less!
![Page 42: Www.er.gov.sk.ca The Saskatchewan Bakken: Unconventional, Conventional or All of the Above Dan Kohlruss, Erik Nickel and Jeff Coolican Saskatchewan Geological.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56649f065503460f94c1ba7a/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Conclusions• Bakken drilling outside of Viewfield but currently widespread
• Viewfield is a combination of a stratigraphic and permeability trap aided by a strong hydrogeological component.
• Outside of Viewfield, structure plays an important role• Combination of facies pinch-out and possibly associated heat flow
anomaly at Pinto/Bienfait?• Salt tectonics at Hummingbird/Roncott/Constance
• The future of the Bakken play is likely in structural and Stratigraphic traps like seen in Hummingbird pool and Pinto-Bienfait area
