Highlights Of The October, 2014, NDIC Hearing Dockets

October 29 - 30, 2014 dockets.

I've been "doing" the NDIC dockets since at least December, 2009. This month's agenda is one of the most boring I've seen in all that time I think.

If it weren't for McKenzie County they could have moved the cases into November, 2014.

Highlights:
  • cases mostly affect McKenzie County
  • maybe around 50% of cases are "continued" cases (not counting pooling cases)
  • administrative headache for the operators trying to capture "orphaned" oil along section lines and spacing unit boundaries; lots of cases for a single well in an overlapping 1280- or 2560-acre spacing unit; 
  • only one flaring case, I believe
  • a few commingling cases
  • CLR has a lot of pooling cases
  • starting to see an increase in horizontal wells targeting the Madison
