From The Daily Activity Report

July 2, 2020

Fifteen new permits, #36578 - #37692, inclusive:

• Operator: XTO
• Field: Hofflund (Williams County)
• Comments:  
• I believe the daily activity report is incorrect
• the DAR says these wells are sited in section 13-154-96; if so, they are being sited under water
• in addition, the legal description for #37685 is incorrect; the scout ticket is correct;
• it's much more likely these wells will be sited in section 13-154-95
• XTO has permits for fifteen wells in section 13-154-96  (sic) -- see comments above
• Hofflund Bakken Unit (HBU)
• fourteen of them are Hofflund Bakken unit wells; one had the same "family" name, but not preceded by the HBU designation; it was in the Alkali Creek oil field;
• one long single row of pads, running almost due north/south, but slightly SW to NE, very slightly off the N/S line
• running from the SESW quadrant to the NESW quadrant
• they are already on confidential list but based on several parameters, it's my hunch they will all run south into section 24
• thirteen will be 1280-acre spacing
• two will be 2560-acre unit line wells
• it looks like: a mix of middle Bakken well and Three Forks wells
