Thirteen (13) New Permits -- The Williston Basin, North Dakota, USA; Whiting With Two Gusher

When you look at the Whiting wells in Westberg oil field, note that Westberg is 15 miles northeast of Watford City, right in the bull's eye of the Bakken. The narrative places the Skaar wells in Westberg oil field, but the GIS map server shows them clearly in Twin Valley, one mile to the west. There are three wells on the Skaar Federal pad. These wells are one mile west of the incredible Tarpon Federal well. Two of the Tarpon Federal wells are mediocre at best; 10-stage fracks; the third Tarpon Federal is a record-setter, 30 stages. 

Active rigs: 186 (steady)
