Wednesday Evening: Statoil Reports Two "High IP" Wells

I will be tied up this evening (lots of granddaughter-related activity) but will update as I find time. Readers have sent me links to a number of stories that need to be posted.

This is a long, long article. I've been waiting for this one, the second part of his 2-part series on the Bakken, an update as we go into 2014. I will read it later. I've been told that it is very, very long and could have been easily broken into three articles. Michael Filloon's part 2 of a 2-part series on the Bakken, going into 2014. It will be interesting to see if he addresses the #1 and the #2 issue on everyone's mind regarding the Bakken.
