Five new permits:

• Operators: Slawson (3); Bruin (2)
• Fields: Big Bend (Mountrail County), McGregory Buttes (Dunn County)
• Comments: Slawson has permits for another 3-well Armada Federal pad in SWSW 14-151-92; we've come across Armada Federal wells before; Bruin has permits for a 2-well Fort Berthold pad

Three permits canceled:

• MRO (2): a Bollete permit and a Nisbit permit, both in Dunn County
• Petro-Hunt: a Harry Dunne permit in Stark County

Two permits renewed: both Murex permits, a Patrician Ann permit and a Michael Douglas permit in Williams County; it's been a long time but I think I highlighted these two wells a long, long time ago;

Bummer: St Croix reports a dry hole, #33087, a Northern Border well in Bottineau County; can't recall if I've posted this earlier, but it sounds familiar
