Hess renewed two permits, both were LK-Hay Draw permits in Dunn County.

Corinthian Exploration transferred about 83 wells to Legacy Oil:

• earliest permit: 00884
• oldest permit: 29202
• two SWD wells

Corinthian and Legacy have a long history together. Back in June, 2014, there was a post: "Legacy buys Corinthian."

I've never been able to keep track of Corinthian, Legacy, and Surge. I track North Dakota operators here. In addition, one can search any of the names here at the blog.

Tell Me This Isn't Happening

The Atlantic (Monthly) Magazine used to be one of my favorite magazines. I would subscribe off and on over the years. I had not subscribed in quite some time but then began subscribing again about two years ago, and for the most part have been very happy.

Then the May, 2016, issue arrived today (May 3, 2016). Very, very disappointing.

It did not have any of the in-depth articles with demographics of the US that I find most compelling and most unique with regard to The Atlantic (Monthly) Magazine. It was simply a "bunch" of articles that I could have found almost any place else. I have read very little of the three articles that caught my eye but the little I have read confirmed that somehow things have changed -- and not for the better at The Atlantic (Monthly) Magazine. The articles:

• "The Secret Shame of the Middle Class: nearly half of Americans would have trouble fining $400 in a crisis. I'm one of them." And I have a monthly $200 cable television bill (to watch Rachel Maddow); a $200 smartphone data plan (to be able to post on Facebook while on the move); and $80 dinner bills  (per meal) when taking the family out to eat because it takes too long to prepare meals at home.
• "Warren Buffett's Son Steps Up." I had hoped to escape all the Buffett stories on CNBC, Yahoo!Finance, Bloomberg, Reuters, etc, only to find that Warren has an extended family and The Atlantic (Monthly) Magazine is reporting on one of them.
• "How Islam Created Europe." And other myths, I suppose. Dan Jones would most heartily disagree, I would imagine. As would JRR Tolkien and a gazillion other thinkers.
