From Tuesday's daily activity report. Note: when you go to the daily activity report index, and click on 1/12/16, you get a report dated January 12, 2015 -- I assume that's a typographical error. If so, there were --
Five (5) new permits --

  • Fields: Bell (Stark), Ambrose (Divide), Hawkeye (McKenzie)
  • Comments:

Temporarily Abandoned in the Charlson
This well was placed on the "temporarily abandoned" list, and the geologist's narrative at the file report says it is "awaiting re-entry" by the operator.
  • 28018, TA, Petro-Hunt, USA 153-95-22D-15-4H, Charlson, SESE 22-153-95, API 33-053-05785, spud 8/14.
This well has not been fracked. While drilling the horizontal, an initial trip gas of 3,283 units was recorded which was accompanied by a 20-foot flare. On a later trip, a maximum trip gas of 3,029 units was noted, accompanied by a 25 - 30' flare. Again, on a third trip, 4,103 gas units were recorded with another 25 - 30' flare. A fourth trip yielded an even bigger flare, 30 - 35 feet, with a trip gas of 4,333 units. Not to be outdone, the roughnecks were not going to quit: at a measured depth of 16,595' -- another motor failure -- trip gas was measured at 6,858 units with a 35 - 40' flare. Total measured depth: 20,237 feet reached on Christmas Day, December 25th, 2014.

This is what that area currently looks like:
