39 Pages of Hearing Dockets for March, 2012 -- NDIC -- and Active Rigs at Record (205)

Initial observations:
  • 7 wells on 1280-acre units is now the norm
  • BEXP is now putting 8 wells on a 1280-acre unit
  • Look at all the 2560-acre spacing units
  • Look at 14 wells on one 2560-acre unit 
  • Look at 7 wells on 800-acre units
  • Look at a 2560-acre unit; 16 wells 
  • Look at request for 102 new wells in one case
  • Look at request for 96 new wells in one case
  • Hess requesting permits for 468 new wells -- someone else can check my math; this was done quickly; errors possible 
  • It looks like Oasis is requesting permits for 108 new wells
  • A lot of cases relate to pooling, which means drilling is soon to come
