SECTION 2 – FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
Item 2.02 – Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
 
On July 6, 2010, Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. (the “Company”) provided an operations update related to drilling and completing activity in the Bakken and Three Forks prospects.

2010 DRILLING ACTIVITY

Since January 1, 2010, the Company has spud a total of 11.3 net wells.  The Company continues to expect to spud at least 18 net wells in 2010, with the possibility for an increase given the all-time high North Dakota drilling rig count of 134.  The Company reiterates its previous guidance of 20% to 30% production increases on a quarter over quarter basis for the foreseeable future.

HEDGING AND LIQUIDITY

The Company currently has hedged 489,396 barrels for delivery through 2011 at a blended average of approximately $80.50 per barrel.  Additionally, the Company currently has approximately $65 million in cash and does not have any outstanding borrowings under its $100 million credit facility.

RECENT ACREAGE ACQUISITIONS

The Company continues to exploit its leasing expertise to expand its core Bakken position.  During the first half of 2010, the Company acquired approximately 27,418 net mineral acres for an average cost of $985 per net acre.  The Company currently controls approximately 114,000 core acres that are prospective for the Bakken and Three Forks.  The Company continues to aggressively evaluate additional acreage acquisitions and maintain its organic leasing program.

The Company recently entered into an agreement with GeoResources, Inc. to begin development of a block of approximately 3,000 net acres located in Richland County, Montana, known as the Rip Rap prospect.  The Company’s management believes this important extensional exploration into Montana may serve to further delineate the productive area of the Bakken and Three Forks formations.  Slawson Exploration will be the operator of the program and the Company will participate on a heads-up basis in drilling and all future acreage acquisitions for a 15% interest in the program.

SNIPER AND STALLION PRODUCTION UPDATE

The Company management believes the Sniper and Stallion wells, drilled and operated by Slawson Exploration, are representative of the results being achieved throughout the Windsor drilling program using long-laterals and “super-fracs.”  These wells are exhibiting increased long-term production stability and are being produced on significantly tighter chokes than many wells in the play, which the Company believes may enhance ultimate recoveries.

The Stallion 1-1-12H well was completed with a 9,330-foot lateral, utilized 36 isolated fracture stimulation (“frac”) stages and commenced production at a rate of 2,753 barrels of oil equivalent per day (“BOEPD”) on a 20/64 choke.  The Stallion well has produced a total of 119,166 barrels of oil equivalent (“BOE”) over 125 production days.  The Company owns a 23% working interest in the well.

The recently completed Sniper 1-6-7H well was completed with a 9,400-foot lateral, utilized 42 isolated frac stages, commenced production at a rate of 3,784 BOEPD on a 15/64 choke and has produced a cumulative 34,214 BOE over 24 production days.  The Company owns a 21.5% working interest in the well.

WINDSOR, ANVIL AND BIG SKY PROJECT UPDATE

Slawson Exploration continues to successfully execute the Windsor development program in Southern Mountrail County, North Dakota.  All long-lateral wells are expected to utilize 36 or more frac stages and all short laterals are expected to utilize 22 frac stages.


 
1

 
The Anvil prospect in Roosevelt County, Montana commenced with the drilling of the Mayhem 1-19H well, in which the Company owns a 30% working interest.  Due to several completion complications previously addressed, the well began production from the Bakken formation at a rate of approximately 217 barrels per day on artificial lift.  The Company and its partners remain positive on the geology in this area and the second well in the program is expected to be spud in the third quarter of 2010 or early in the fourth quarter of 2010.
 
The Big Sky prospect in Richland County, Montana commenced with the drilling of the Vandal 1-16H well, in which the Company owns a 20% working interest.  The well was drilled, by design, to the upper shale and a frac was not utilized for this geologic zone.  This drilling plan represents an important extensional venture into a different structure. The Vandal 1-16H well commenced production from the upper shale at an initial production rate of 478 BOEPD and has produced 15,422 barrels of oil in 57 production days.  This well is expected to be followed in the third quarter by a continuous drilling program on the acreage block. Well costs for this upper shale play are expected to be under $3 million per well.

RECENT COMPLETION HIGHLIGHTS

The Company continues to believe that early 24 hour rates are not necessarily useful in determining the ultimate economics of a well, especially because they do not account for well cost and sustainable production rates.   The tables below contain recent well completions in which the Company has participated as well as updates in the longer term production levels of previously announced wells.

The following table below outlines some of the longer term production rates over a series of prospect areas as of July 6, 2010.

Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors (many of which are beyond the Company’s control) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements, including the following, general economic or industry conditions, nationally and/or in the communities in which the Company conducts business, changes in the interest rate environment, legislation or regulatory requirements, conditions of the securities markets, our ability to raise capital, changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines, financial or political instability, acts of war or terrorism, other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technical factors affecting our Company’s operations, products, services and prices.

The Company has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations and assumptions about future events.  While the Company’s management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the Company’s control.
