Ten (10) New Permits -- The Williston Basin, North Dakota, USA

Active rigs: 185 (steady)

Ten (10) new permits --

• Operators: QEP (4),  Petrogulf (2),  CLR (2), Whiting, Luff Exploration,
• Fields: Sate Line (Bowman), Frazier (Divide), Pleasant Hill (McKenzie), Grail (McKenzie), Antelope (Mountrail)
• Comments: These are the first two Petrogulf wells in North Dakota; Luff Energy has been in North Dakota for a long time, but relatively few wells. In the February, 2013, lease sales, Petrogulf was mentioned. One can also find occasional references to Petrogulf in monthly dockets. I am not sure whether this is their webpage. Operations don't mention North Dakota but this site did.
