Three new permits:

• Operator: Whiting, Windridge (first mentioned on the blog June 30, 2017)
• Field: Pembroke (McKenzie); Portal (Burke)
• Comments: Whiting has permits for another 3-well Knut Berg Trust pad in NENE 28-149-98 (see graphic below); Windridge has permits for a 2-well Mallard pad (middle Bakken) in Lot 3/5-163-92;

Name change: this is interesting --

• #31249, EOG, was "West Clark 201-01SWD" is now West Clark 105-0136H; my hunch is that EOG wells in the 2xx series are SWD wells; in the 1xx series, Three Forks; this well was drilled/tested back in mid-2016; didn't produce much and taken off-line; this was given a waiver to lay idle while EOG decided what to do with the well; in a July 17, 2018, letter, the NDIC told EOG it had to come up with a detailed plan for this well by August 15, 2108, and the well must be brought into compliance by November 1, 2018, or the NDIC will begin proceedings to have this well P & A. Update, TA, no production.
