This is a new operator in North Dakota: Liberty Resources. This is their first permit. And they are in a great area, just west of the Arnegard oil field. If one is familiar with the area, one follows US Highway 2 south from Williston toward Watford City; just south of Alexander, instead of swinging east, head straight south as if you were going to Sather Dam/Lake. The Liberty Resources site will be about three miles south of that junction, and on the east side of the road, maybe half a mile off to the east.

There were no wells that came off the confidential list today, and no completed producing wells. Zilch. Nada. None. Goose egg. Zero.
