Random Update of the Red River Wells in Cedar Hills -- The Williston Basin, North Dakota

I don't know if anyone will care about this, but I spent some time collecting the data, and I hate to just delete it, so I will post it for what it's worth. Probably not much. 

A long, long time ago, I posted a short note about the Cedar Hills field in southwestern North Dakota.

So, the other day, I went through all the wells in the Cedar Hills field, see below. There were scores of permits that were canceled by predominantly two other companies. I was told that these companies had the permits, but when Continental Resources and Burlington Resources moved in, those permits were canceled.

I am fascinated by the Cedar Hills field for obvious reasons (see link above): not only is their good production, these are inexpensive wells compared to the Bakken wells, but the field is huge, and the Red River formation extends into Montana and South Dakota. I was surprised by the relative paucity of dry wells. I compiled this list a few days ago, and I don't know recall if I completed it, but I believe I did. There may be a few missing.

The list below: permit number, IP, test date (shortly after spud date), and cumulative production.
