    Slawson continues to knock it out of the park naming their wells. "Sail and Anchor"

      I had the same thought. I was hoping you would notice. And thrilled that you took the time to write.

    Samson Oil and Gas (an Australian company) named the well, there are three other wells on the Tofte pad, the Billabong, Duckstien, and Blackdog.

      Since a lot of folks probably don't read these comments, just for the fun of it, I will post this as a stand-alone. Thank you for taking time to write. This bit of trivia is what makes the Bakken fun for me. Thank you.
