And sometimes the job done while drilling can give you an underperforming well.
And speaking of performing a frac job, there was a fire that burned all the trucks and equipment this week on the Wayzetta 14-02H. Haven't heard what started it, and thankfully no one was hurt. But the trucks and equipment for the frac job were let burn once it started so we have one less completion crew in the Basin for now. Hopefully, it won't affect the final completion of the well.
