Nineteen (19) new permits:

• Operators: BR (11), Triangle (5), Slawson (2), Resonance Exploration
• Fields: Sand Creek (McKenzie), North Fork (McKenzie), Elk (McKenzie), Big Bend (Mountrail),
• Comments: this is the second permit for Resonance Exploration; both were permits for wildcat wells, both in the same township, right next to Westhope oil field, up in the far north of North Dakota, in Spearfish oil area, near the Landa oil fields; based on the name of the well the company is likely associated with Ballantyne;

NOTE: from "Things To Follow Up On" --

November 17, 2014
Statoil's Brown wells will be their first crack at cemented liners and increased frac stages. Will be interesting to see the difference. [ 27003, 27704, 27005, 27006, 28733, older wells: 20790, 18760.
