One new permit, #38323:

• Operator: Petro-Hunt
• Field: Alexandria (Divide);
• Comments:
• Petro-Hunt has a permit to site a Tomlinson well in lot 1 section 2-161-100
• the well will be sited 285 FNL 955 FEL

One producing well (a DUC) reported as completed:

• 35084, drl/A, CLR, Carson Peak 10-35H1, Oakdale, no production data, the Carson Peak wells are tracked here, This is very interesting. I do make typographical errors on the blog but I'm usually pretty careful about the "status" of wells. When I went to the "Carson Peak wells" link I see that #35084 was PNC, and yet now, CLR/NDIC shows it as drl/A.
• let's check FracFocus: 33-025-03520; no frack data; so, CLR reports it as  drl/A but yet no frack data;
• what does the well file say: a sundry form suggests it was the typical "permit expired; needs to be renewed" -- if accurate, state PNC'd it and CLR re-instated it.
• neighboring wells on the pad:
• 35109, IA/956, Morris 7-26H2, big well, but off line for past 2.5 months.
  
• 35081, IA/3,556, Carson Peak 8-35H2, a huge well, but off line 2.0 months;
  
• 35082, IA/1,593, Morris 8-26H2, a nice well, but off line for past 6.5 months.
• 38083, drl/NC, Carson Peak 9135H, on line 2 days, 3/21; no oil runs/production;
  
• 35085, drl/NC, Morris 9-26H, no production data,
  
• 35086, drl/NC, 10-26H2, no production data,
