It seems like fewer permits are being issued for Williams County over the past couple of weeks. Looking at the GIS map, there appears to be numerous unpermitted acres remaining in that county. For expample, the Strandahl field, which lies in the far West area and other fields to the North have gaps in permitted areas.
ReplyDeleteStarting about six months ago or so, I started blogging that the activity was moving to McKenzie County, specifically around Watford City.
ReplyDeleteTo date, for calendar year 2011:
ReplyDelete494 new permits for McKenzie County
369 new permits for Williams County
326 new permits for Mountrail County
300 new permits for Dunn County
That leaves 422 permits for the rest of the North Dakota counties, including: Divide, Bottineau, Divide, McLean, Stark, Golden Valley, others.
Numbers are from my database; will be close, but not perfect.
