Fourteen (14) New Permits; Number Of Active Rigs In North Dakota Ties Post-Boom Low; Whiting To Report A Big Well; BR With Another High-IP Well -- September 14, 2015

Active rigs (I track the number of active rigs here):

Active Rigs	68	199	178	193	201

Poll: will "we" drop into the "50's" with regard to number of active rigs in North Dakota?

Poll results: predicting July, 2015, ND crude oil production (I mistakenly forgot to add 1.2 million bopd and I assume many of those opting for 1.1 million bopd would have gone with 1.2 million, the best number):

• 1.1 million bopd: 65%
• 1.0 million bopd: 24%
• 0.9 million bopd: 12%
• 0.8 million bopd: 0%
• 0.75 million bopd: 0%
