Highlights Of The February, 2016, NDIC Hearing Dockets


For newbies: during the boom, there were usually two to three days of hearing, and the agenda for each day was as many as 20 pages long. The February, 2016, hearings: two days; 7 pages of agenda for each day, and many of them are continued cases. It is very, very quiet with regard to the dockets right now. However, with the transfer of wells among existing and new operators is probably taking a lot of NDIC human resources to complete. 

I remain impressed with all parties involved with the oil and gas industry in the great state of North Dakota.
