  1. Good God. I better save every cent to try to cover WI in this area!
    Notice that on the very next hearing file Slawson is asking for reduced spacing setbacks between 'heel to toe' in the same area as all these wells (Big Bend). Wow this is amazing!

    1. Good pick-up. I missed that. I saw the request for reduced setbacks between 'heel and toe' but failed to see the Slawson tie-in. Great eyes. Thank you for taking time to write.
