Incredible Wells Still Being Reported In The Bakken -- Note Small Amount Of Fracking Water Used By Enerplus -- August 12, 2020

Say what you want, these are incredible wells.

 Disclaimer: I am inappropriately exuberant about the Bakken.

When looking at these numbers I am reminded of Oasis' decision to focus on the Permian rather than the Bakken, using the Bakken to provide necessary cash flow for Bakken operations. The decision was made when the Permian was all the range, acquisition costs were incredibly high, and shortly before Covid-19 and Saudi's decision to flood the world with oil for the second time in just a few years

These are the wells coming off the confidential list today.
