Five (5) New Permits -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Daily activity report, June 23, 2011 --

Drillers:  Burlington Resources, Petro-Hunt, Hess, Whiting, BEXP.

Fields: Haystack Butte, Nelson Bridge, Dollar Joe, Sanish, and Avoca.

Whiting has another permit in its cash cow, the Sanish.

Most interesting, I just did a long, stand-alone post on Glass Bluff oil field yesterday, which abuts the Avoca field, and now I see the first permit in a long time in Avoca, and it's a BEXP permit. Should be exciting.
