Operator Transfer:

• OXY Little Knife transferred four (4) oil & gas wells to Lime Rock Resources III-A, LP; these were all very old wells in Dunn County
• OXY USA transferred ~338 oil & gas wells to Lime Rock Resources III-A, LP; oldest permit was #15824; the most recent was #32048; almost all of them were in Dunn County; a fair number were in Burke County; and a few were in Billings County; I didn't see wells in any county other than those three
• These would be the wells announced in a December 9, 2015, briefing by Lynn Helms, NDIC 
• OXY USA has sold off 346 wells to Lime Rock Resources—which had previously disclosed it was buying all of its Bakken assets— the 346 wells included several SWD wells also
