Why I Love To Blog -- Reason #24,832 -- Anschutz Resurfaces In North Dakota: A Huge "Shout-Out" To All The Mineral Owners In Slope County, "Good Luck -- May The Tyler Be With You!"

Just last week a couple of us conjectured that Anschutz was about to "re-surface" in North Dakota -- and indeed it has. I have to give credit to Don for anticipating this when he sent me the note last week. See new permits below.

Active rigs:

	5/12/2014	05/12/2013	05/12/2012	05/12/2011	05/12/2010
Active Rigs	193	185	209	175	114

A summary for Friday's daily activity report was also completed (NDIC did not post Friday's report until today). 

Ten (10) new permits  --

• Operators: BR (4), Enduro (2), American Eagle, Oasis, Whiting, Anschutz

One (1) producing well was completed:

And, again, the readers came through! A big "thank you" -- anticipating Anschutz in the Tyler -- this has to be exciting. Some folks may recall that it was Anschutz who discovered a great field in the Bakken back in 2010.
