Thanks for trying DepMe. Your absolutely right, it is on confidential status till 11/15/2008. However, I spoke with one of the execs from Hess a few weeks ago, he was somewhat evasive, however, he did disclose that it has done a little over 50,000 barrels since going on line. Putting a pencil to that number, outs me at around 650 bopd. Also he verified that it did produce 9500 barrels in July. If you use the 20 days it was on line in July, that would put you at around 500 bopd. He said it was "doing much better than the well next to it" that being the RS State well. I was looking for some solutions to bring the production up to the 1500 to 2500 bopd that the Bakken should be producing. Do we REALLY have the technology to get this oil out of not! If you compare some of our numbers to what they are producing out of well in Alaska or other places, we are "minor league" players. I want to get to the "majors" Is that possible in North Dakota. I have read that the reason we have no major players (Shell, Mobil, Exxon, ect) is because *they do not think we can.* Can anyone comment on that?
