One (1) permit --

• Operator: Peregrine Petroleum Partners, LTD
• Field: Hay Draw (McKenzie)
• Comments:

Crescent Point canceled two permits, two CPEUSC Suitor permits in Williams County.

For newbies, I track Bakken operators here (a tab at the top of each page of the blog). The Peregrine permit:

• 32701, loc, Burlington Fee 9-16-1H, NWNW 9-146-102. There is one other well in this section, #13070, a horizontal that was drilled in 1991 (Bakken, IP 130; and then re-entered, new horizontal drilled in 2005; similar outcome; total cumulative since 1991: 143K 3/16 producing maybe 200 bbls/month but has been off-line much of the past year.
• Hay Draw is a small non-descript oil field in southwestern McKenzie County with almost no activity except for a cluster of vertical non-Bakken wells drilled decades ago; varying success.
