The status of the 1,916 oil and gas permits issued in calendar year 2011 by the NDIC.
There were a few wells that are producing but no IPs were provided: those are designated "A-pro" (active, producing, but no IP provided). In some cases the IPs may have been in the file reports, but I did not look at all file reports.
My data will be at variance from the NDIC official data; my data comes from my database based on daily activity reports and will have some errors (but not many, I bet).
So, here goes.
In calendar year 2011, the NDIC issued 1,916 oil and gas permits (this does not include permits for salt water disposal wells.
Permits: #20247 - #22170 (with one Murex "R" will with original file #9446, but it was permitted to enter the Bakken under this file number).
- 1,530 have a reported IP. (An additional 11 wells were completed, but no IP provided.)
- 157 permits were canceled (PNC).
- 104 wells are still on the confidential list.
- 35 wells were still "permit only" (LOC): nothing has yet happened at these permitted sites.
- 23 wells were reported as dry. This does not include a few wells with minimal production.
- 14 wells on DRL status.
- 13 permits had expired.
- 11 wells are actively producing; completed wells but no IPs reported.
- 8 wells have been shut in (SI).
- 6 wells are producing but still on confidential list.
- 5 "WI" (water injected) permits.
- 2 "TA" (temporarily abandoned). These usually do not come back on line.
- 2 "PA" (permanently abandoned).
- 2 well are "AB" (abandoned).
