***************

BEXP announced a nice well:

• 19868, 2,541, BEXP, Tufto 18-19 1H, Williams County

Two other wells came off the confidential list but still not completed and placed on DRL status (reported elsewhere)

Petro-Harvester acquired eight older wells from Great American Royalties (Steinhaus and Hedges wells) in Bottineau County. All eight wells targeted the Madison formation; have produced between 100,000 and 175,000 bbls of oil since they were spudded back in 1975 - 1981. It looks like they are all still active, producing 75 - 100 bbls/month.
