Are these new tests?  The Anita Robinson well tested 3389 last year.  Was new work done on these wells?

Todd, these are just a summary of the initial well test rates.

Thanks.  One last thing, is there a significance to the number of stages a well has?  I see the Anita Robinson well has 21 stages, 7 more than the next closest well.

Todd, in theory additional stages should result in a higher initial rate if formation properties and execution are the same.  EnCana has experimented with increased number of stages on other wells so I don't know if that was the case for this well or if it was something specific to this well.  In some cases companies may use more smaller stages resulting in a similar overall size of fracture treatment.
