Six new permits:

• Operator: Whiting
• Fields: Glass Bluff (Mckenzie); Corinth (Williams)
• Comments: Whiting has 4 new permits in Corinth oil field (not what most folks would consider core Bakken); and two new permits in Glass Bluff. Whiting has the 35,000th oil and gas permit issued by North Dakota. Permit #35000: Lassey 44-33H, SESW 34-152-103, Glass Bluff. There were Bakken wells before 16000 (the first 16000 series Bakken well was #16011, Hess, H. Juma 1-9H, Baskin oil field), but one can say the first two Bakken wells that started it all were:
