Data Suggests That Newfield Has Been Selling Bakken Acreage -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

The information below is a "cut and paste" from my FAQ page. Note: the NFX October, 2011, presentation: ~ 140,000 net acres in the Bakken; clearly NFX had more acres than this in earlier presentations, certainly as much as 174,000 and maybe as much as 271,000 net acres. It appears that NFX has been selling Bakken acreage the past two years.
