No wells coming off confidential list Tuesday.

No producing wells reported as being completed. 

Five new permits:

• Operator: BR
• Field (County): Dimmick Lake (McKenzie County)
• Comments: these are five Dodge permits in section 17-151-96; three middle Bakken and two Three Forks wells; all appear to be on one pad

Ten permits renewed:

• Statoil (3): one Michael Owan and two Reitin permits, all in Williams County
• Whiting (2): two Hecker permits in Stark County
• HRC (2): two Forth Berthold permits in McKenzie County
• Enduro Operating: one NSCU permit in Bottineau County
• Resource Energy Can-Am: one Olav permit in Divide County

EOG change the name of file #31247:

• 31247, conf, new name: West Clark 201-01SWD, was: West Clark 103-0136H -- production history:

Date	Oil Runs	MCF Sold
6-2016	37118	83594
5-2016	16264	28547

I don't understand this. When a file name includes PNC it means the permit has been cancelled. I would assume "SWD" means a salt water disposal well, but it makes no sense for this to be a SWD based on production. The well is still listed as being CONFIDENTIAL.
