Four (4) New Permits -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Daily activity report, July 12, 2011 --

Operators: Petro Harvester, Vecta Oil and Gas, BEXP and Baytex.

Fields: Renville, Williston, West Ambrose and one wildcat.

The wildcat is Vecta's permit in Ward County. This is the first permit in North Dakota ever by Vecta according to the NDIC website.

The rest of the daily report was benign, except for the following wells with a change of operator from CLR to BR:

• 16983, Mathistad 1-35H
• 17433, Ole -1-29H
• 17733, Kumer 1-31H
• 18013, Mathistad 2-35H
• 18225, Norman 1-9H
• 18624, Meldahl 1-23H

I will look it up later, but I think the Mathistad was one of the wells that helped confirm the Three Forks formation and the Bakken formation do not communicate.
