Four (4) new permits --

• Operators: Whiting (2), Oasis, Corinthian Exploration
• Fields: Rawson (McKenzie), Baker (McKenzie), North Souris (Bottineau)
• Comments: I believe the two Whiting permits in Rawson oil field might be the first for Whiting in that field; if not the first, rare; the oil field is pretty much owned by Triangle, going to permits back to 2010

Wells coming off the confidential list were posted earlier; see sidebar at the right.
