Enerplus To Report A "Monster Well" Friday -- Almost 200K In Less Than 5 Months; Twenty (20) Wells To Come Off Confidential List Friday, Oasis With Thirteen; October 9, 2014

Note: this is a long post. There are probably errors -- typographical and factual, but I am taking my granddaughter swimming and corrections will have to wait. 

Alexander bypass finished; just in time for winter. Quite an achievement. Story here.  With this bypass completed, this almost completes the entire four- / five- / six-lane highway from Odessa to Midland Williston to Watford City.

I believe the Alexander bypass will follow the route in red to some extent. I'm not exactly sure where it enters the highway on the south side.

Update, March 5, 2015, this is the satellite view of the completed bypass:

See first comment: readers can compare my "guess" with the official map at this link: http://www.nddotwilliston.com/project-maps/.

*The scout ticket says the IP for #26381 was 7,231 bbls of oil. This is obviously incorrect. The file report has not yet been scanned in at the NDIC site. My hunch is that the correct number is 723 bbls.
