The recent surge in activity may be related to Whiting's announcement in September that two of its wells in Stark were completed and producing at impressive flow rates.

These were the Froehlich 44-9TFH, which flowed at a daily rate of 1,832 barrels of oil and 1,546 Mcf of gas, or 2,090 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) per day, and the Kubas 11-13TFH, which flowed at a daily rate of 1,780 barrels of oil and 1,035 Mcf of gas, or 1,953 BOE per day. Both wells were drilled in the Three Forks formation on Whiting's Lewis and Clark prospect.
