A Quick Look At High Points For The May, 2013, NDIC Hearing Dockets

May 29 - 30, 2013: 

• increasing number of cases to assess risk penalties against non-participating owners
• more cases than usual for unrestricted flaring (or I may be just more sensitive to this issue with recent ND legislative action regarding flaring)
• one case with 8 wells on a 640-acre unit (80-acre spacing)
• two cases each for 3 wells on 320-acre units (~ 100-acre spacing)
• several cases by Slawson to open the vertical portion of a hz Bakken well to the Lodgepole
