A reader just sent me this link, noting that American Eagle appears ready to announce production from its four-well pad.

Data points from the presentation. Recall -- Richard (Dick) Findley is chairman; credited with discovering the Elm Coulee in the Williston basin in the 1990s (previously posted).

  • 66% operated
  • 65% HBP
Divide County, Spyglass prospect
  • shallower; superior rock quality; relatively high EUR wells; high oil content
