NDIC Errors, Ommissions, Inconsistencies Increase Significantly -- Daily Activity Reports And Scout Tickets Disconnect-- June 16, 2020

NDIC has apparently quit reporting wells that should have come off the confidential list. Seven wells have dates suggesting they have come off the confidential list since June 13, 2020. None of them have been reported. 

NDIC scout tickets incomplete, duplicate permit numbers being recorded.
  • the permits recorded as issued to BR in yesterday's daily activity report do not have corresponding scout tickets, permits #37631 - #37539, inclusive, as reported by yesterday's daily activity report;
  • permit #37631 is double-booked: it is a permit for BR Cherry well (yesterday's daily activity report) as well as a permit for an Equinor well (State 36-1 8H) according to the scout ticket with a status date of 6/10/20, which I believe corresponds to the date of the daily activity report where it first appears as a permit;
  • the following new permits reported by a daily activity report last week do not yet have corresponding scout tickets: #37626 -  #37629, all Equinor permits according to the daily activity report; these are permits for Equinor State permits in SESW 25-155-100, Stony Creek; those sites do not yet show up on the NDIC map; there are two wells in the area:
    • 18014, 1,075, Zavanna, Bobcat 1-25H, Stony Creek, t1/10; cum 203K 4/20; a short lateral, single section well, sited in SWSW 24-155-100 but spacing unit is section 25-155-100;
    • 18307, 3,236, Equinor, State 36-1 1H, Stony Creek, t1/10; cum 382K 4/20; this is likely to be the parent well, or the well holding the lease by production for the four, five, or six new State permits issued to Equinor for this drilling unit;
  • I assume the scout tickets are linked to the NDIC map; if so, the NDIC map will also have errors
Compare these two screenshots, the permit numbers and the wells:
