Did "We" Do It? Did "We" Get Nine (9) More Permits --- December 30, 2014

I haven't looked at today's daily activity report until ... now ... let's see if we got nine (9) oil and gas permits which would put "us" over 3,000 permits for calendar year 2014 ... here we go ..

... but first ..

Active rigs:

	12/30/2014	12/30/2013	12/30/2012	12/30/2011	12/30/2010
Active Rigs	170	187	187	197	156

Twelve (12) new permits --

• Operators: Hess (4), Hunt (3), Enduro (2), CLR (2), Samson Resources,
• Fields: Beaver Lodge (Williams), Writing Rock (Divide), Mouse River Park (Renville), Dollar Joe (Williams), Ambrose (Divide)
• Comments: Nothing to necessarily indicate the slump in oil price is having a specific effect on permits (note number of permits, and locations of permits)

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

Three (3) producing wells completed:

• 26155, 4,076, Johnston 7-6 6H, Banks, t11/14; cum --
• 26156, 3,657, Johnston 7-6 5TFH, Banks, t11/14; cum --

Four (4) permits were canceled, none of which excites me one way or the other. Enduro canceled two permits in Renville and one permit in Bottineau County, but they have new permits today. OXY USA canceled one permit (#24682, Carrol Jones) in Dunn County.
