About 124 wells from Petro-Hunt LLC to G3 Operating; and a couple of salt water disposal wells. These 124 wells all have recent permit / file numbers and all appear to be Bakken wells. The lowest permit number is #18094; the highest number is #24588. The bulk of them appear to be in the sweet spot of the Bakken; the majority are Fort Berthold wells in Dunn and McKenzie Counties.
