Disclaimer: done quickly; will correct factual and typographical errors later. 

These are important wells.  A reader brought these wells to my attention. They support my argument that:

• all this recent talk about Tier 1 drilling locations is overdone
• all this talk over the years about "sweet spots" is overdone

The first well:

• 33497, conf, Liberty Resources Management Company, LLC, Kaitlyn 158-93-30-31-4MBH, East Tioga, production data below:
