This Is Quite Incredible: Thirteen (13) New Permits Today -- 13 Yesterday; 18 The Day Before -- Bakken, North Dakota, US

This is clearly the most active I have seen the oil patch since starting the blog. On Monday there were eighteen (18) new permits -- the most I had seen in one day since starting the blog a couple years ago; then yesterday thirteen (13) more new permits, and now today, another 13. This is quite incredible.

Today's daily activity report, August 24, 2011 --

Operators:  KOG (4), Slawson (3), Oasis (2), WLL, Legacy, Newfield, and OXY USA.

Fields: Camp, Antelope, Pembroke, Tobacco Garden, Willmen, and three wildcats.

It looks like Slawson has a 3-well pad; KOG has a 4-well pad.

Whiting, Oasis, and Legacy all have wildcats.

Eight wells were released from confidential status: it looks like 7 of the 8 were completed -- best completion ratio I've seen in some time. And some great wells, such as this one:
