Active rigs:

$55.11↓↓	11/14/2017	11/14/2016	11/14/2015	11/14/2014	11/14/2013
Active Rigs	54	38	64	186	185

Five new permits:

• Operators: Kraken Operating (3); XTO (2)
• Fields: Oliver (Williams); Heart Butte (Dunn)
• Comments: Kraken Operating has three permits, but there might be a typo in "Daily Activity Report." Two of the permits are in section 31 and one permit is in section 30, but the descriptions suggest all three wells should be in the same section -- unless they are drilling two wells in one direction and the other well in the opposite direction, something I talked about years ago [Update: in the November 15, 2017, daily activity report, this was corrected; all three Kraken Operating Stevenson wells are in section 31-158-98]

Two permits renewed:

• Slawson: a Fox permit in Mountrail county; and a Shakafox permit, also in Mountrail County;
