Eight (8) new permits --

• Operators: EOG (5), OXY USA (2), MRO
• Fields: Parshall (Mountrail), Fayette (Dunn), Van Hook (Mountrail), Stanley (Mountrail)
• Commentators: OXY USA has permits for two "new" Stroh wells in Fayette oil field; I believe these are the first "new" Stroh wells since 2010; the Stroh wells were among the reasons I decided to post a blog on the Bakken

Wells coming off the confidential list today were posted earlier; see sidebar at the right.
