One New Permit; Seven Permits Renewed -- November 23, 2018

WTI: down 7.76% for the day, apparently. And President Trump wants the price of oil to fall further. Fascinating. Must be driving the Saudis nuts. They've seen this movie before.

Weekly summary: Tom Kool has a nice wrap-up of weekly energy news stories over at oilprice.

One new permit:

• Operator: Newfield
• Field: Siverston (McKenzie)
• Comments: one Dahl permit in 5-150-98; Dahl 150-98-5-8-HLWR: #35778 -- already on conf list so not sure what "R" means -- "revised" or "re-entry." Most likely "revised" from the original permit; right now (11/23/18) there is no #35778 on the NDIC map; #35390 is Dahl 150-98-5-8-HLW, with a rig-on-site and on confidential list.

Seven permits renewed:

• BR (2): a Scottvale permit and a Rifle Person permit, both in Dunn County
• EOG (2): two Wayzetta permits in Wayzetta County
• Whiting: a Pronghorn Federal permit in Billings County
• XTO: a Sonya Federal permit in Williams County
• Sinclair: a Highland permit in Mountrail County
