NDIC Hearing Docket Agenda, November, 2013 -- Happy Thanksgiving

Disclaimer: summaries of the dockets are for my personal use only but do with them what you like. They are generally not proof-read; and probably contain errors. Probably? In fact, there are errors. I do this simply to ensure that I actually read the entire agenda and simply don't scroll through it and say "wow." The source is at the NDIC home page.

HRC: Halcon

MRO: Marathon oil 

BR: Burlington Resources

WPX: WPX Energy

CLR: Continental Resources

Samson Resources is not Samson Oil & Gas; and vice versa

KOG: Kodiak Oil & Gas

SWD: salt water disposal wells

It appears that CLR's motto is: "Leave no oil behind."
