• 29149, Solberg 44-12PH, Stark County,
• 29152, Dietz 11-17PH, Stark County,

At first I thought it fairly disconcerting. It's still a little bothersome but most of the locations were in tier 2, maybe tier 3 locations ... having said that, the Epping, East Fork, and Dollar Joe locations were not all that bad, but hard to say.  It is interesting that most of these permits seem to be Three Forks/Pronghorn.

So, we'll see. The good news? Whiting is still plugging away in the Bakken.
