Eleven (11) new permits --

• Operators: Oasis (4), Petro-Hunt (4), XTO (2), Sinclair
• Fields: Siverston (McKenzie), Charlson (McKenzie), Grinnell (Williams), Sanish (Mountrail)
• Comments: the Charlson is a very, very exciting field; I do not recall having seen a recent Charlson permit until today

No producing wells reported as completed. A very short one-page report today.

I'm wondering if folks have given any thought to why Whiting has a record (?) number of "pooling" cases scheduled for the July, 2015, NDIC hearing dockets. I have a thought. Curious what others might be thinking.
