Note: in a long note like this there will be content and typographical errors. In addition, I often misread file reports. If this information is important to you go to the source.

If that is accurate, there are two wells of interest, both running west to east in the same drilling unit:

• 21751, 770, Enerplus, Humpback 148-93-06B-05-4H TF, McGregory Buttes, t8/12; cum 248K 12/20;
• 21752, 656, Enerplus, Beluga 148-93-06B-05-3H, McGregory Buttes, t2/13; cum 233K 12/20;
