Our core assets in the Bakken of North Dakota and SCOOP Woodford/Springer in Oklahoma continue to provide exceptional results and are a testament to the quality of the base assets and the ability of our teams. Our SCOOP Woodford discovery in 2009 has grown into one of the best new plays in North America along with our discovery announcement in 2014 of the Springer horizontally drilled formation, our Company’s highest rate of return oil play. Our asset quality and resource inventory are world-class.”
