Hearing Dockets, September, 2019, Posted

The NDIC hearing dockets for September, 2019, have been posted. I will be providing an abbreviated summary, as I always do, at this post.

The Bakken boom is over? Not for Harold Hamm.

Case #27937 (again, this is a case, not a permit):

• 27937, CLR, Elm Tree-Bakken, 2560-acre unit, sections 2, 3, 10 and 11 - 153-94; 26 additional wells on the overlapping 2560-acre drilling unit, McKenzie, Mountrail counties

The graphic:

Or, how about this one?

• #27945, RimRock, South Fork-Bakken, 14 wells on an existing 1280-acre unit, sections 8/17-148-93, Dunn County 

Or this one?

• #27947, Newfield, Westberg-Bakken, 14 wells on an existing 1280-acre unit, sections 25/36-152-97; McKenzie County

In addition, one docket has 18 pages of cases; the second docket has 13 pages of cases. This is the largest number of dockets I've seen since the boom. Granted, it appears most of the cases have to do with pooling and commingling, but every case represents work for blue-collar works in the oil patch.
