With 866 new permits issued through May 31 1, 2012,
North Dakota is on track to issue 2,093 new permits this year.
My database showed the following number of permits (may or may not include salt water disposal wells):
- 2012: 2,093 (estimate) -- based on 866 permits issued as of May 31, 2012
- 2011: 1,940
- 2010: 1,684
- 2009: 629
- 2008: 956
- 2007: 497
- 2006: 422
Prior data.
Numbers vary due to errors on my part. My numbers will be at slight
variance with the NDIC because I occasionally miss a well, and salt
water disposal wells may or may not be included. I don't know how the
NDIC "counts" permits canceled shortly after they've been issued.
