No matter what the play, basin, target, or lease position or competitive landscape - we march to our own tune, generally in front and using every tool at our disposal to lower risk, increase upside (and offsets).

Pays in spades.  Do the tough log/petrophysical work, map relevant horizons for any nuances but we generally don't have to follow because we have done the work in advance. 

Early mover in seis/strat and play modelling in the Minnelusa - gross 50MMBO

Early mover in H Bakken Shale wells in 1989 - 20 with ND record IP

First to prospect H Middle Bakken in what is now Elm Coulee  - 60,000acs

Fast follower to identify key metrics and map sweet spot in Parshall area

First to prospect H targets in the deep geo-pressured PRB

Engineering catches up eventually....

Now with 11,000 net acres in a simple infill with contiguous DSU's estimating 40-50 wells @ 4+ wells/DSU.  Uphole vertical potential as well.  Operations available at attractive terms.

Rainmaker and prospector of risk mitigated natural resources.
