Random Note About Oil Activity In The Williston Basin -- October 16, 2015

In today's NDIC Daily Activity Report, about fifty (50) older wells were transferred from Whiting to White Rock, LLC. I had not heard of White Rock before but it's been around for a long time. It looks like it takes over smaller-producing, stripper wells, mostly in the southwestern corner of the state but does have wells north of Williston, also.

This is probably a typical example. This well was sold by Whiting to White Rock on May 1, 2015:
