Three (3) New Permits -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Daily activity report, December 19, 2011 --

Operators: QEP (2), and EOG

Fields: Heart Butte, Parshall

QEP's two permits are for a 2-well pad in Heart Butte, Dunn County.

Six of ten wells that came off the confidential list today reported IPs; four were not completed.

Another interesting well name change:

• 20508, conf, Dakota-3, Buffalo 1-36HC (was Buffalo 1-36H).

As time goes on in the Bakken, I am noting an increased number of wells with "new" designations regarding type of well, in this case, an "HC" well.
