Top 50 Oil Producers In North Dakota -- As Of December, 2013

I can't recall if I've posted this before. Regardless here it is again at Petroleum News. When you get to the link, it's a PDF, scroll down to page 10. The "bopd" is from the linked source; the estimated acreage is the company's acreage in North Dakota only and comes from my "snapshot" page. Here are the numbers as of December, 2013 (there may be typographical errors; check the source if any questions)(the estimated acreage is from my data base and may be very, very wrong in some cases):
