Thirteen (13) New Permits Issued Today (Bakken, ND, USA)

This has been an incredible day in the Bakken. I still have lots to do to catch up.

Maybe more on this later, but today there were thirteen (13) more permits issued in the North Dakota Bakken, representing ten different companies: Petro-Hunt (3); Zenergy (2); and, one each for Anschutz, Peak, Marathon, Burlington Resources, CLR, EOG, URSA, and KOG. With thirteen new permits today, we are on our way to 1,518 new permits by the end of this calendar year.

The new permits were in these fields: Reunion Bay, Heart Butte, Banks, Ray, Lake Ilo, North Tioga, East Tioga, Bailey, Elidah, Painted Woods, Grinnel, and South Fork. There was one wildcat.

In addition to these permits, IPs for five nice new wells were released (and reported earlier at this site).
