Eight (8) new permits --
- Operators: XTO (4), Whiting (2), CLR, Oasis
- Fields: Bear Den (McKenzie), Hamlet (Divide), Cottonwood (Oasis), Estes (McKenzie)
- Comments: XTO certainly seems active; that was predicted by MDW when XOM (deep pockets) bought XTO

- 23100, 1,922, QEP, MHA 3-06-32H-150-92, Heart Butte,
- 23099, 1,994, QEP, MHA 2-06-32H-150-92, Heart Butte,
- 23098, 1,632, QEP, MHA 4-06-32H-150-92, Heart Butte,

1. The IP of 17,777 is no doubt an error; probably 1,777.
2. The well file for #23101 did not include the completion or the IP.
3. The five QEP wells are on a single pad; the horizontals fan out in "fan-shaped" configuration; extend under the river; QEP has same configuration with five additional wells two miles to the east
4. I didn't check all five QEP well files, but I assume they will all be 1920-acre spacing if approved by the NDIC
