• Comments: XTO has permits for a 6-well Pelton Federal pad in NWNW 35-148-96, Bear Creek oil field; based on the data provided, my hunch is these well will run south to north (see below); Oasis has permits for a Nelson/Aagvik 4-well pad in NENE 26-152-98, Banks oil field (see below)

Two permits renewed:

• Whiting: two Niemitalo permits, in Mountrail County
