Completion Strategies, 2021, Bakken 4.0

Background: we entered "Bakken 4.0" in March, 2020. At that time it was my hunch that fracking / completion strategies would change, so I started following completion strategies in 2020 and comparing them to 2018. 

Going forward: I assume the completion strategies won't change a lot from 2020 to 2021, but one never knows. A lot of operators did not drill / frack in the Bakken in 2020, so maybe we will see some changes among those that start fracking again in 2021.
