Wow, Wow, Wow -- Twenty (20) New Permits -- Ten of Them On One Pad (?) -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

First, of all, go to this link for more on those ten permits on one pad (?).

Operators: QEP (10), Whiting (2), G3 Operating (2), CLR (2), Helis, Hunt, Legacy, and BEXP.

Fields: Dutch Henry Butte, Sioux, Strandahl, Heart Butte, Climax, Todd, Haystack Butte, Blue Buttes, Ellsworth, Elk, and a wildcat.

Legacy has the wildcat in Bottineau County.

It's too bad the 10 wells on one pad weren't in Climax oil field; they are in Heart Butte.

Other reports in today's daily activity report: As reported elsewhere, four wells came off confidential status, and three of the four were placed on DRL status (not completed; waiting to be fracked).

Other than that, a quiet day. Yup. Except for twenty new permits, and ten of them on one pad.
