From Geoff Simon's top stories:
The ND Industrial Commission gave its blessing this week to a project proposed by XTO Energy aimed at coaxing additional crude oil out of nine existing wells by injecting produced natural gas from the surrounding formation. The project is in the Bear Creek Field in northern Dunn County.
DMR Director Lynn Helms said it's similar to an unsuccessful Liberty Resources enhanced oil recovery project in Williams County that failed to develop pressure in the formation. But Helms said the XTO project may have a better chance of success because it will have plenty of gas to inject.
