NDIC Hearing Dockets -- February, 2017; Two New Operators/Lessees? CLR With Request For 23 Wells On One Spacing Unit

Link here.

The highlights of the February hearing docket agenda are at this link.  

Operators in this list I do not recall having seen before:

• Trendwell Energy Corporation: according to NDIC, has two (2) permits in North Dakota
• DW Slate: mentioned once below; I do not find this operator listed at the NDIC "Well Search" site; google search reveals that DW Slate LLC is a corporation entity based in NYC, and named as a lessee in 4 oil and gas leases; locations at this thedrillings.com site; 

Disclaimer: I often do these in haste; there will be factual and typographical errors. If this information is important to you, go to the source. My notations on the screenshots below are not "official." They are simply my thoughts and could be very, very wrong.
