  • prior to that, three permits on March 12, 2015
  • a single permit, March 11, 2015
  • a single permit, March 9, 2015
  • deep pockets (financially)
Whiting:
  • most Whiting permits are for pad drilling, 4 - 6 wells per pad
  • 14 consecutive permits between March 4 and March 6, inclusive, 2015

I developed the list to try to undertand WLL's decision to issue 35 million shares and to issue $1.75 billion more in debt.
