Seven (7) New Permits -- The Williston Basin, North Dakota, USA

This was a most interesting daily activity report, May 5, 2012 -- with six of seven permits for six wells on one pad:

Operators: Hess (6), KOG
Fields: Little Knife (Dunn), Grinnell (McKenzie)

The six-well pad will be in section 22-146-97.

There is another producing well in this section:

18731, 1,434, Hess/Tracker, Wing 15-1H, t7/10; cum 136K 3/12; 

Why I stay excited about the Bakken!
