Two DUCs Reported As Completed; One Permit Canceled; Seventeen Permits Renewed; Five New Permits; Oasis With Four New Permits; Equinor Renews Five Permits — June 17, 2021

I’ve  received some great e-mail from readers in addition to some additional stories, but posting will be delayed. I pick up Sophia shortly and will go swimming. Later I take her older sister to soccer practice. I probably won’t get back to blogging until later this evening.

Later: I'll do a bit of blogging tonight but not much.
