Random Comments on Some Great Wells Being Reported at the Beginning of 2012 -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Snapshot of some new wells reporting:

• 20588, 1,492, BEXP, Mrachek Trust 22-15 1-H, Elk, Bakken,
• 20059, 1,357, Whiting, Waldock 14-4XH, Sanish, Bakken,
• 20036, 2,331, XTO, FBIR Smith 11X-10, Heart Butte, Bakken,
• 19876, 2,879, BEXP, Enderud 9-4 1H, Banks, Bakken,  

Some comments:

• Some of these wells have been reported earlier, so some comments may have been posted earlier
• That Enderud well is in Banks oil field; this is right in the bull's eye of the Bakken; where the action will be in 2012
• Heart Butte is a great field, inside the reservation, and has been highlighted before
• I think a lot of folks thought BEXP was show-boating -- maximize their IPs, so that they could set themselves up for a great buyout -- but even after the buyout (by Statoil) has been announced, BEXP continues to report great wells; I am quite impressed -- yeah, maybe they were in the "pipeline" before the Statoil announcement but something tells me BEXP is going to continue with great wells
