Mangnum Hunter Resources participated in bringing on 19 gross (5.5 net) Bakken wells in the second quarter of 2013. At the end of the quarter 20.4 gross (11.4 net) wells were in some stage of drilling or being completed.

Magnum Hunter also noted midstream delays brought on by wet weather. A Oneok gathering system expected to be online in April did not accept gas until the last week of June. The gas gathering system is being built in an effort to conserve natural gas production in the area. In total, the project will connect ~300 wells in the area over the next year.
