Hey Larry at the end of the year are you going to do a year end report stating how many rigs in progress? How may wells spudded for the year and ect. Like you did on the monthly report? That would be awesome if you did. Keep up the great work. M

Preliminary data for the month of September indicates that Mountrail county produced 1, 734,304 bbl of oil in September, over 400,000 bbl ahead of the Bowman county total of 1,291,868 bbls. Bowman county is now in 2nd place.

Mountrail county production now represents just over 30 % of the total September 08 ND production of 5,647,387 bbls.

Most interestingly, 570,429 bbls of the Mountrail county production representing just shy of one-third of the entire September 08 Mountrail county production came from just 24 recently drilled confidential wells (all but 4 EOG-drilled) in Parshall (4), Wayzetta (8), Austin (8), Shell(2) Burke (1) and Van Hook (1)Townships. These 24 wells that were still confidential in September 08 represent over 10 percent of the entire oil production for the state of ND in September of 08 based on the "runs" data.

This is nothing short of amazing.

Stay tuned!

The price of oil has dropped drastically. Does this mean that drilling in the bakken will slow? Or does it mean that cost of drilling will be reduced because of reduced fuel expenses?
