Samson (SSN) To Start Fracking Today? Any Update?

Someone reminded me that SSN was supposed to start fracking today. I have not heard anything. Curious if anyone has heard anything.

I also corrected a link regarding five Canadian companies for those interested in the Alberta Bakken and Canadian oil sands in an earlier post.

Here's the update regarding SSN fracking.

SSN update for the Stockyard Creek oil field, March 16, 2011:
Samson O&G advised that the fracture stimulation equipment is on location and rigged up on the Rodney #1-14 well. The stimulation job is expected to take approximately 4 days, during which the 16 stages will see a planned 2 million pounds of proppant placed.

Samson's fifth well, the Earl #1-13, is expected to be stimulated on March 28th, however this date might be displaced because of a competing well which is ahead in the frac schedule is likely to be delayed such that March 28th date is maintained.
