No wells came off the confidential list today; there was no June 31, 2014.

There were nine (9) new permits today, bringing the grand total of new North Dakota oil and gas permits to 3,012 permits, up almost 50% from previous years, with a relative surge of new permitting in the last couple of months --

• Operators: CLR (7), Petro-Hunt (2)
• Fields: Camp (McKenzie), Corral Creek (Dunn), Charlson (McKenzie)
• Comments:

QEP added ten (10) more wells, all in the Grail, to the "tight hole" list.

Oasis renewed three (3) permits in Williams County, the "Cook 5300 12-13" wells.

Whiting canceled three (3) permits, two in Golden Valley and one in McKenzie County. Slawson canceled one permit in Mountrail County.

It looks like we might be getting some better delineation of the Three Forks: CLR changed the name of three wells from "H2" and/or "H1" to "H" suggesting a change in formation target from TF2 or TF1 to the middle Bakken.
