Baytex has a wildcat in Williams.

Enerplus has permits for three or four two-well pads.

Oasis had a nice well, reported elsewhere.

Only one of the four wells that came off the "tight hole" list was completed.  

Denbury Onshore reports a nice well:

• 18678, 1,174, Denbury Onshore, Charlson 34-12H, McKenzie

Newfield had a great well:

• 20456, 3,034, Staal 150-99-23-14-1H, McKenzie

I'm noticing a few typographical errors on the Daily Activity Report; it happens very rarely but suggests to me they (NDIC staff) are working as fast as they can to get these reports out. They must be very, very busy.
