Twenty-one (21) wells came off the "confidential" list. One was a salt water disposal; fifteen (15) wells reported an IP, including:

• 20083, 25, OXY USA, Richard Dvorak 1-33-28H-143-95, Dunn County, Bakken,
• 20194, 63, OXY USA, wannemacher 1-4-9H-142-95, Dunn County, Bakken, 
• 20824, 1,229, MRO, Bears Ghost USA 31-4H, Dunn County, Bakken,
• 20950, 55, Silver Oak Energy, Rankin 1-35H, Slope County, Red River B (not a Bakken)
• 21380, 1,424, Hess, LK-Pohribnak 147-96-16H-2, Dunn County, Bakken, 

The others were all Bakken wells; of the remaining ones that reported an IP, most fell in the 250 - 850 range, about what one would expect, nothing remarkable. They will all be reported elsewhere, under "New Wells Reporting" once the data is posted (and I get to it).

Seven more wells were reported as producing or plugged.

No wells on DRL status reported an IP today.
