  1. One of WLL's permits listed here is in the Gaylord field SE of Belfield, which I belive is an additional permit on top of the one that is currently being drilled on that 1280 acre spacing. I think this maybe the first instance of multiple permits on the same spacing for the block of whiting leases SE of Belfield.

  2. Great pick-up! I think you are correct. I will look at this again over the weekend.

  3. I think you are talking about permits/file numbers 20912 (a new permit) and 20028, a well that is nearing total depth. The 20028 well is running south; both wells will be spud in section 16-T139N-R99W, the Gaylord oil field.
