Thirteen (13) New Permits -- North Dakota, USA

Producers: Oasis (3), Anschutz (2), Whiting (2), Zavanna, KOG, Zenergy, Sinclair, Marathon, and XTO

Fields: Moccasin  Creek, Sanish, Bull Butte, Murphy Creek, Foreman Butte, Sanish, Russian Creek, Heart Butte, and four wildcats.

Two of the three Oasis wells will be on the same pad in Bull Butte, 10-156-103.

Again, true to form, WLL gets a permit in its cash cow (Sanish field) and a wildcat. The wildcat is in McKenzie County, about 10 miles southwest of Watford City. This area is fairly inactive.

The other three wildcats are all in the Williston area. The Oasis wildcat is five miles south of Williston, west (south) of the river. The Zenergy wildcat is about 20 miles north of Williston in a fairly inactive area.

And finally, the KOG permit, a wildcat, is for a well in a section where KOG already has a well/permit on the confidential list. It will be placed on the same pad.

There were a number of wells released from confidential status, three of which were particularly remarkable:

• 19183, 1,171, Continental Resources, Dalin 1-4H, Divide County 
• 18313, 1,052, Petro-Hunt, Berthold 148-94-35D-26-1H, Dunn County
• 19008, 2,804, BEXP, Brakken 30-31 1H, Williams County. This one had been reported out elsewhere with an IP of 3,574.  It is not uncommon for reported IPs from the same wells to be at variance due to various sources and methods of calculating.
