Week 15: April 10, 2016 -- April 16, 2016

Today's monthly production report was a pretty big story and North Dakota mineral acres still going for $10,000/acre is a pretty big story, but the report that the first ever shipment of North Dakota light crude oil (Bakken) was shipped overseas is a pretty big story (Hess), too.
