Because the NDIC is not updating the GIS map server or the scout tickets, one cannot find the location of these locations on the map nor are scout tickets available. Working backwards to the August 24, 2021, daily activity report, four new Kraken permits:

Four new permits, #38509 - #38512, inclusive:

• Operator: Kraken
• Fields: Burg (Williams); Ellisville (Williams)
• Comments:
• Kraken has permits for four wells to be sited in NENE 9-158-99: Jenna, Jenna LE, Alamo, and Maddie;
• the wells will be sited 375 FNL and between 396 FEL and 528 FEL

And a fifth new permit, September 14, 2021:

• 38558, Maddie LW 10-15-22 1H, Burg, scout ticket not available, from daily activity report, NENE 9-158-99, 375 FNL and 429 FEL, a closer look at this well here;

These Kraken wells have been named in such a way we know the drilling unit:

• 38509, sections 4 / 33 / 28 -- running north;
  
• 38510, sections 4 / 33 / 28 -- running north;
  
• 38511, sections 3 / 34 / 27 -- running north;
  
• 38512, sections 10 / 15 / 22 -- running south;
  
• 38558, section line well, sections 10 / 15 / 22 -- running south;
  

Existing/producing wells in this drilling unit: 

It looks like these will be 1920-acre wells.

It appears these were the related cases from July, 2021; there were several such related cases; I did not take the time to sort them out -- only wanted to confirm that these would be 1920-acre-spaced wells.

• 28855, Kraken, Burg-Bakken, establish four standup 1920-acre units; four wells on each, Williams County;
• 28856, Kraken, Burg and/or Ellisville-Bakken, establish two standup 1920-acre units; four wells each; Williams County;

Several other wells in the immediate area, most/all are 1280-acre unit wells:
