Whiting With Four New Permits -- December 20, 2019

Never mind: earlier today it was reported that an Israeli judge told Delek Drilling and Noble Energy to stand down, not to produce natural gas from the Leviathan basin. Someone must have made a phone call; the order was rescinded. The operators will begin producing natural gas on December 23, 2019.
