Three Songs, Two (2) New Permits, Five (5) Producing Wells Completed; And No Partridge In A Pear Tree --- November 9, 2015

I continue to marvel at the Bakken. The boom began in Montana in 2000, and in North Dakota in 2007. Going back to the daily activity report dated November 1, 2007, the year the ND Bakken boom began, the new permit numbers were 16888 - 16891. Today, the new permits are numbered 32230 - 32231, and the producing wells are file numbers as high as 31011. Who wudda guessed eight years ago? I know I'm speaking heresy here, but I am thrilled that everything has slowed down in the Bakken. There are a lot of good things one could say about the slowdown but regular readers can probably figure out what I'm talking about. Those who arrive at the blog/site by accident wouldn't care any way, so might as well move on.
