Eight (8) New Permits -- Lucy Hanson WIth an IP of 3,771 East of Williston -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Daily activity report, October 13, 2011 --

Operators: OXY USA, Denbury Onshore, BR (2), BEXP (4)

Fields: Willmen, Siverston, Little Knife, and Todd.

BR's two permits are for wells in neighboring sections in Little Knife oil field; BEXP's four permits are for four wells in Todd oil field; it appears one group will be a 3-well pad; the other permit is for a well to be put in a section that already has a producing BEXP well.

Todd oil field includes almost all of Williston, sections to the west of Williston and sections to the north. These four wells will be to the north of Williston, not inside city limits.

And, of course, today was the day that the daily activity report included the Lucy Hanson well (BEXP), east of Williston in Catwalk field with an IP of 3,771, which I posted elsewhere. This is a huge well.

With these huge wells being reported in and around Williston, and all the activity folks are talking about moving to McKenzie, it is getting a bit exciting in this neck of the woods.
