    1. No. It was simply an interesting data point for me. I am aware of a hundred oil fields or so in the Bakken; I am aware of a dozen or so that are really, really good. I noted the Banks early on to be a great field. I had a long discussion with a gentleman who had been in the Bakken for five years, and he mentioned one oil field in passing: the Banks. That caught my attention; confirmed what I was seeing, but nothing more than that. Idle chatter in the Bakken.
