Nine (9) New Permits -- The Williston Basin, North Dakota, USA; A Reader Notes Probable Typo On Today's Daily Activity Report; HRC Reports Two "High-IP" Wells; CLR, KOG, Hess Each With A Nice Well

For investors only, non-energy stocks reporting tomorrow:

• XLNX: expectations, 55 cents; actual -- 2 cent miss: Xilinx Inc, a maker of programmable chips, forecast current-quarter revenue largely below analysts' estimates, sending the company's shares down 6 percent in extended trading. This is crazy: misses by 2 cents, but reports record revenue, and still it drops 6 percent. I will recover in a.m.
  
  Xilinx said it expected first-quarter revenue to stay flat to rise 4 percent from the fourth quarter.
• AAPL: expectations, $10.19; actual: blows past expectations; stock surges; announces 7-1 split;
• Boeing: expectations, $1.56; actual, blows past expectations with $1.76; stock up 2% on a down day

Seven (7) producing wells completed:

The Daily Activity Report suggests these seven (7) permits were canceled. A reader suggests that this was a typographical error and should be producing wells completed. Based on what little I know, I think the reader is correct. I will list these as producing wells completed and see if that is corrected tomorrow. In fact, an IP is provided which confirms that these are completed producing wells. The wells in question (interestingly, these are all great wells, based on IPs):
