The fracking backlog isn't slowing down the pace of new permits.

Zenergy has two wildcats, both in Williams County. Eternal Energy has another wildcat.

Enerplus has permits for a 2-well pad.

Three wells were released from "tight hole" status and none of them reported an IP (not completed). I noted this elsewhere earlier today. Of the six most recent wells reporting, four of them have not been completed.
