No new permits.

Four permits reinstated:

• CLR: four Harrisburg permits on Indian Hill, across the river from Williston, ND, McKenzie County
• comment: the "original" Harrisburg well runs from the south; and is still a nice well;
• 28405, 980, CLR, Harrisburg 1.34H, Indian Hill, t10/14; cum 328K 1/21;
  

Two producing wells (DUCs) reported as completed:

• 37704, drl/A, Petro-Hunt, USA 153-95-11C-2-1HS, Charlson, no production data;
• 36240, drl/A, Slawson, Periscope Federal 4 SLH, Big Bend, no production data;
  

Well name change:

• 31436, PNC, Rimrock Oil & Gas, Narwhat 16-10H, was Moccasin Creek 16-10-34-3H3; the permit for this well has expired year after year and it's always renewed. One would think that if a company is going through the effort to re-name the well, something must be afoot. First permit by Whiting; then acquired by Rimrock around 2018.
  

Operators must be using this "quiet" time to clean up their paperwork: 

• twenty producing wells were now reported as abandoned. All were generally old wells. Of the twenty, eleven were EOG wells; three were Liberty Resources wells; and, two were Hess wells. Others: Whiting (2); Slawson (1); XTO (1).
