Of the new wells reporting, this one caught my eye:

• 20079, 2,760, Whiting, Obrigewitch 21-16TFH, Bell, t2/12; cum 117K 6/12;  it was completed in February of this year and by June had produced almost 120K bbls of light, sweet crude

Back to May 8, 2012: even for seasoned Bakken observers, this is exciting.

Also, from May 8, 2012: huge Whiting wells.

Newbies may want to start here: Whiting's Pronghorn prospect.

From May 22, 2012: The Prospect Sand could be the best payzone in the Bakken -- Mike Filloon.

A long, long time ago, when one of the first Obrigewitch wells "came in," a roughneck who had worked on the well, was kind enough to send me a note regarding his experience on a very successful well. As noted many times, it must be a huge sense of satisfaction for everyone working on the well when it's a good one.
