The Two Shields Butte Wells

It looks like I will start tracking the Two Shields Butte wells here. By the way, based on the name, it appears that one of Rimrock Two Shields Butte wells is a Three Forks third bench well, but I am not sure. I've been "mislead" on a name before. We'll see.

Note this Rimrock Two Shields Butte well:

• 18987, 223 (no typo), RimRock, Two Shields Butte 14-21-16-2HS, Heart Butte, t4/11; cum 638K K 11/18; see this post;
