On Track For 2,514 New Permits This Year

For 2013, to date, 868 oil and gas permits have been issued (this does not include permits for salt water disposal wells, only oil and gas wells).

At this rate, the state is on track for 2,514 new permits this year. At this time last year, the state was on track for 1,996 permits; the state finished with 2,251 permits for oil and gas wells; of those about 30 were canceled.

These figures are from my data base and they will vary slightly from NDIC figures because I always miss a few. But it's pretty close.
