Eleven (11) New Permits in North Dakota -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Daily activity report, August 2, 2011 --

Operators: Whiting (5), Oasis (3), XTO, Baytex, SM

FIelds: Sanish, Lost Bridge, Mondak, West Ambrose, Poe, Gaylord, Ellsworth, Tyrone, and two wildcats.

Oasis has a multi-well pad in Mondak.

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

Baytex has another permit in West Ambrose. At one time I was quite intrigued by all the activity in Ambrose/West Ambrose. The activity appears to be continuing.

Change of operator:
  • Three wells changed operator from Ursa Resources to Samson Resources.
Twenty-two (22) wells on the confidential list were reported as plugged or producing, including:
  • Whiting: 5
  • EOG: 5
  • Denbury: 3
  • CLR: 2
This may seem like trivia to report this, but there's a reason I am reporting it.
