Trivia on Daily Activity Report, July 6, 2010

I have said this numerous times: for all the activity in the North Dakota Bakken, we sure aren't seeing many results of wells on the daily activity reports.  Yesterday's report (July 6, 2010) had no new wells reporting.

However, the number of permits just keep coming. In that same report, a "new" company (at least for me) has a permit: Wesco has a permit in Bicentennial field in McKenzie County. In addition, American has a permit for yet another wildcat well, again in Williams County. American just reported a good well in this area. And Whiting has two new permits for two wells on one pad in the Sanish oil field. It is quite incredible how many wells can be drilled in the Sanish and the Parshall.

The Bakken Shale Discussion Group has a number of new reports posted, however. Once again, a new Hess well is not impressive.
