Twenty-six Active Oil And Gas Rigs; Four New Permits; Eleven Permits Renewed -- September 2, 2021

US ceded the Arctic to Russia, Denmark, Norway, Canada: Russia's offshore Arctic has oil and gas reserves "for centuries." Link to Tsvetana Paraskova.

Back to the Bakken

Note: a reader pointed out that NDIC has not added any wells starting with permit #38430, July 16, 2021.

So permits, #38430 - #38533, inclusive, including the four most recent permits issued today, #38530- #38533, have not been added to the GIS map, and no scout tickets initiated.

NDIC's last "accurate" report was July 14, 2021. 
The scuttlebutt is that due to Covid-19, folks are working from home and transition from old database to new database is encountering major problems. 
Comment: I have not idea whether this is accurate or not, but I do know that permit data for  #38430 - #38533, inclusive, has not been updated at the NDIC website (GIS map or scout tickets). 
If this doesn't matter to the NDIC, it certainly doesn't matter to me. It's one way of keeping information confidential.

  1. Can you extrapolate on the 10 Enerplus Dunn Co. permit renewals Bruce? And where do I find that info on the NDIC site? Thanks for your great blog, as always.
