Time For A New Poll

But first the results of the current poll.

Now that XTO Has withdrawn its ELKHORN FIELD permit request, should the whole ELKHORN FIELD be closed to new drilling?

• Yes: 26%
• No: 74%

Which begs the question: should I poll whether the entire Bakken should be shut down? But I digress. Maybe that poll for later.

**********************

Anyway, here's a different kind of poll. It will help me decide whether a stand-alone post is warranted.

More and more cases appearing before the NDIC are requests for "overlapping 2560-acre spacing units."

Do folks know the purpose of "overlapping 2560-spacing units" (in most cases) in the Bakken?
