Seven (7) New Permits -- February 9, 2015; Looks Like Whiting Has Some Huge "KOG Wells"

Updates

February 12, 2015: Some folks have noted the "huge" Whiting wells in Moccasin Creek, Dunn County. See comments. Yes, these are huge wells; I was hoping folks would notice. It will be interesting to compare long-term production of these Whiting wells compared with KOG wells (yes, these were originally KOG permits/wells bought by Whiting).  Whiting announced enhanced fracking / completions in the future some time ago. When they post the fracking data, I will post some examples (if I remember).

Well name changes perhaps due to slump in oil prices:

• CLR is now targeting the middle Bakken with two Cuskelly wells (#29708, #29710); they were targeting the second bench and the first bench of the Three Forks, respectively.
