For newbies: this is what keeps me excited about the Bakken. It's like opening presents every evening.

A Three Forks well. Relatively small amount of proppant. 30 stages. Production: 101,806 bbls in first 4.5 months.

Park oil field. 

Park oil field is in southwestern North Dakota; it borders Bell oil field and is northwest of Zenith oil fields. This is the area where record bonuses were paid not too long ago.
