It looks like it's time to go with the "finals."
First, how we got here (I could be wrong which was the first round and which was the second round, but it doesn't matter):
The results of the first round, your "favorite Bakken" operator:
- CLR: 36%
- WLL: 27%
- EOG: 18%
- BEXP (STO): 11%
- HES: 8%
The results of the second round, your "favorite Bakken" operator:
- KOG: 46%
- OAS: 26%
- Slawson: 12%
- Halcon: 9%
- BR: 7%
The results of the "semi-finals" for "your favorite Bakken" operator.
- CLR: 32%
- EOG: 16%
- KOG: 22%
- OAS: 9%
- WLL: 21%
So, the "finals" (posted August 30, 2013).
My apologies to those who supported operators I never included from the beginning including QEP, SM Energy, XTO, and several others, of course. It showed my bias. Maybe I will do this again sometime down the road; if so, I will broaden the choices.
