On Track For More Than 3,000 Oil And Gas Permits -- North Dakota -- November 4, 2014

According to my data base (which could be very, very wrong, but I doubt it), with 2,545 permits to date (November 4, 2014) for oil and gas permits in North Dakota (this does not include salt water disposal well permits or other permits), North Dakota is on track to post 3,016 permits this calendar year (2014).

This compares to 2,241 permits issued by November 4, 2013, for calendar year 2013, which put the state on track for 2,656 permits. Actual number of permits by the end of calendar year 2013, for 2013: 2,671 permits.

For 2012: 2,181 permits; on track for 2,585 permits. Actual number of permits by the end of calendar year 2012, for 2012: 2,521 permits with 144 canceled (perhaps more since earlier calculation).

The numbers may vary from post to post; things change. The Bakken is dynamic. These numbers are for my use only coming from my database which is different than the NDIC database. You should assume the data I post has errors, but not intentional. I simply cannot afford to hire a fact-checker. If this information is important to you, go to the source, the NDIC. I think the NDIC has a disclaimer also.
