Ten (10) new permits:

• Operators: CLR (4), Hess (3), HRC (2), North Range Resources
• Fields: Rattlesnake Point (Dunn); Banks (McKenzie); McGregory Buttes (Dunn), Grassy Butte (McKenzie)
• Comments: generally speaking, when seeing multiple permits by same operator, it is pad drilling

Twelve (12) permits renewed:

• EOG (10): ten Hawkeye permits, all on same pad, Hawkeye permits, section 25-152-95 (see below)
• Petro-Sentinel (2): one Miller permit and one Coyote Creek permit, both in Bowman County

I don't recall if I've seen Petro-Sentinel before. The company has three permits in North Dakota. The first well, a wildcat, was drilled: dry.  The two renewed permits today are in an established oil field: Coyote Creek, Bowman County.

No DUCs were reported as completed.

The EOG Hawkeye wells have been mentioned many times on the blog. They are tracked here. Ten EOG Hawkeye permits renewed today:
