Ten (10) New Permits -- 6/12 of New Wells Completed -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Link here.

It was a little strange today with regard to the daily activity report; none of the reporting wells were listed as coming off the "confidential list," but twelve were listed as being released from "tight hole status."

Be that as it may, six of these 12 wells did not have an IP. In addition to these 12 wells, there were an additional three wells reported as previously producing and now completed.

Some notable wells:

• 18517, 1,595, KOG, Two Shields Butte 2-24-12-2H, Dunn
• 18981, 2,952, BEXP, Holm 9-4 1H, Mountrail
• 20465, 1,305, Zenergy, Rolfson 20-17H, Bakken, McKenzie
• 20236, 824, Dakota-3, Dakota-3 Packineau 15-32H, Dunn
• 19427, 767, Oasis, Montague 5501 13-3H, Williams

Of the ten new permits:

Operators: Hess (5), Petro-Hunt (2) , G3 Operating, True Oil, Ward-Williston

Fields: Ellsworth, Foreman Butte, Clear Creek, Little Deep Creek, and Capa.

Hess has permits for two 2-well pads.

Hess has a wildcat in Williams County; G3 has a wildcat in McKenzie; True Oil has a wildcat in McKenzie.

I see a couple of wells had their names changed: The Leiseth 31-19SEH was changed to the more generic Tobacco Garden 31-19SEH as was the sister well "NEH." I have an idea why the name was changed.
