January production was lower than December 2014 due to wells not on production (" down days"). Drilling and completion operations are the main causes for the ongoing down days: the month of January had 15 more down days than December. However, since our last report Billabong 2-13-
14HBK was fraced and a 24 hour I.P test produced an equivalent 1,249 barrels of oil per day and
3.05 MMscf of gas per day. A coil tubing unit has moved onto the Blackdog well where sand cleanout operations have started. The coil unit will remain at this location for clean out operations on the Billabong and Sail & Anchor wells. Bootleg 4 is currently undergoing sand cleanout;, Ironbank 6 has been fracked and is currently flowing back, and Ironbank 7 has been fracked, flowed back, and is expected to be on production this week. Bootleg 8 and Ironbank 4 and 5 have been brought on line.

NORTH STOCKYARD PROJECT, WILLIAMS COUNTY, NORTH DAKOTA
The infill development plan for North Stockyard consists of 8 middle Bakken wells that have been drilled and 22 Three Forks wells of which 9 have been drilled (8 in the First Bench and 1 in the Second Bench). Given the curtailment of the infill development program, there will remain an undrilled balance of 13 wells. For ease of reference, the current status of each well is set out below with separate tables for each drill pad:
