During the harsh winter in North Dakota and with the slump in oil prices, to see a stabilizing of rigs in the high 130's is refreshing. However, a reminder: when the rig count was in the 185 range, Harold Hamm suggested the rig count in North Dakota could drop 90 rigs.  So, we'll see.

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

Whiting canceled six (6) permits, they were all KOG Smokey permits (#27386, #27387, #27388, #27389, #27446, #27447; the first four on section 16-149-98; the other two on section 29-149-98). See below. 

Eleven (11) new permits:
  • Operators: Whiting (5), Hess (3), EOG (2), XTO
  • Fields: Twin Buttes (Dunn), Beaver Lodge (Williams), Parshall (Mountrail), Twin Valley (McKenzie), Garden (McKenzie)
  • Comments:
Four (4) producing wells completed:
  • 27721, 163, SM Energy, Almos Farms 1-26HN, West Ambrose, 4 sections, t12/14; cum 3K 12/14;
  • 28714, 541, EOG, Parshall 93-2827H, Parshall, t2/15; cum --
  • 28877, 1,081, Whiting, Solberg 31-2TFH, Ray, t1/15; cum --
  • 28878, 867, Whiting, Solberg 21-2TFH, Ray, t1/15; cum --
These are the six (6) KOG Smokey permits that Whiting canceled. I did this quickly and could be wrong. I often make mistakes. If this information is important to you, go to the source. This blog is not the source on which to make any financial, investment, or relationship decisions.



I'm not sure what to make of these cancellations. Often when a new operator comes in and cancels permits in a great location, the operator will submit applications for new permits in the same area with slightly different parameters (siting locations, formation targets). However, the slump in oil prices changes everything.
