Nineteen (19) New Permits -- North Dakota; CLR Reports Five Producing Wells Completed -- Unremarkable Results; August 1, 2014

Updates

August 2, 2014: a reader (see comments below) suggests the "second formation" targeted could be the Madison formation. This could be very, very interesting. 

Original Post

Among the new permits today (see below), note the MRO permit:

• 29028, conf, MRO, Glenn Powell 21-3TH,  wildcat, Slope

This well will target the Tyler formation; it will be sited about four (4) miles directly north of another MRO Tyler well:

• 26335, drl, MRO, Powell 31-27TH

The "TH" designation: Tyler Horizontal
A Three Forks would be designated "TFH."

Another thing: note "Unknown MXL" (in red bold below) in the MRO Tyler well in the scout ticket posted below at the NDIC web site:
