Active rigs:

Active Rigs	191	184	181	202	159

For those who follow the daily activity report on a daily basis, this is quite incredible. Generally, a daily activity report is two pages; occasionally three; rarely more than three. Today's report is eight pages long, mostly due to transfer of wells from one operator another operator, but in addition, almost a page of permit cancellations.

Wells coming off the confidential list today were posted earlier; see sidebar at the right.

Seventeen (17) new permits --

• Operators: BR (6), Statoil (5), SM Energy (4), Denbury Onshore, Slawson,
• Fields: Banks (McKenzie), West Ambrose (Divide), Cabernet (Dunn), Cedar Hills (Bowman), Big Bend (Mountrail)
• Comments: I normally associate OXY USA in the Cabernet; it's interesting to see 6 BR permits in the Cabernet

Six (6) producing wells completed:

• 26103, 547, Slawon, Goldenban 2-2-1MLH, Sanish, t3/14; cum 72K 9/14;

Operator Transfer:

• Baytex Energy USA, LLC, to Baytex ND, LCC: about two full pages of wells from the current boom
• Baytex Energy ND, LLC, to SM Energy Company: about two full pages of wells from the current boom
• I did not check each and every well, but it appears all the wells were "ultimately" transferred from Baytex Energy USA, LLC, to SM Energy.
• See post of July 29, 2014

Sixteen (16) O&G permits were canceled; one disposal permit canceled. Most of the permits were old permits but some were more recent including two Hunt permits in Mountrail County. Operators with little activity that canceled permits: Upton Resources (2), Anschutz (3), PDC (1), Ward-Williston (1), Sagebrush Resources (1), Petro Harvester (1), Open Range (2), Vecta (1).
