Wells coming off the confidential list:
Something was strange today. The wells that I expected to come off the confidential list were not reported. Two wells that were posted on the daily activity report as having coming off the confidential list (two Baytex wells) are still listed as confidential on the scout tickets. So, we will see next week (Tuesday) what's going on.
