CLR's New Kennedy-Miles Permits -- December 20, 2016

Reminder: this from the NDIC dockets -- the 2560-acre drilling unit mentioned in case # 25459 is shown in the screenshot farther down --
Case No. 25459:
Application of Continental Resources, Inc. for an order authorizing the following for the Dimmick Lake-Bakken Pool, McKenzie County, ND: (i) the drilling, completing and producing of a total not to exceed twelve wells on an existing 1280-acre spacing unit described as Sections 1 and 12, T.150N., R.97W.; and (ii) the drilling, completing and producing of a total not to exceed twenty-four wells on an existing overlapping 2560-acre spacing unit described as Sections 30 and 31, T.151N., R.96W. and Sections 6 and 7, T.150N., R.96W., eliminating any tool error requirements and such other relief as is appropriate.
See this earlier post regarding the Kennedy-Miles wells. That is the post where I track these wells. The original permits were on 2560-acre spacing.

On December 20, 2016, NDIC releases permits for eight more Kennedy-Miles wells. These new permits show that these eight new Kennedy-Miles wells are on 2560-acre spacing units, a stand-up 2560-acre drilling unit: sections 30 and 31 to the north; and, sections 6 and 7 to the south. They are all long laterals (two sections, ~ two miles long); the pad will be in the middle of the unit (vertically) with the Kennedy wells running north (sections 31 and 30) and the Miles wells will run south (sections 6 and 7).

These are the eight new permits. One can see the symmetry. They will be lined up east-to-west, in the SWSE quadrant of section 31, about 250 feet from the south line. Most likely "H" wells are middle Bakken wells; H1 are Three Forks, first bench wells; and H2 are Three Forks, second bench wells:
