Well name changes:

• CLR is changing the names of three Thorvald wells suggesting different targets. In two of the cases, it is simply swapping the middle Bakken for the upper Three Forks and vice versa, but in the third name change, CLR appears to be targeting the middle Bakken instead of TF2. This may mean "nothing" or there may be a reason why they are doing it at this time.
