Three Notable Wells Reported These Past Ten Days -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

A "chore" I never look forward to every week or so is going back and posting the links to the top stories for the week.

But I sure am glad I do it. So much happens in a week I can forget some of the great stories. This was one of those weeks. Among everything else, this was a week for three great wells, and all great for a different reason:

• Tarpon Federal: record IP in the Bakken; northeast of Watford City; a Whiting well
• Multiple payzones likely in the Three Forks formation, a Continental Resources well, Charlotte 2-22H
• The Hagen well in Red Wing Creek -- a Madison well with an IP like those of good Bakken wells

So, we have the Tarpon Federal, the Charlotte, and the Hagen wells -- three different companies, three different formations; all notable records for different reasons
