Two new permits, #38826 - #38827, inclusive, all in support of a CO2 sequestration proogram:

• Operator: Minnkota Power Cooperative, Inc
• Field: wildcat, Oliver County
• Comments:
• Minnkota has permits for two wildcat wells, Unity 1 and McCall 1, in SWNW 4-141-83, 
• to be sited 1979 FNL and 373 FWL and the other 1978 FNL and 257 FEL
• a vertical well; 
• the application for permit for re-entry says the "dirt work date is 12/01/2024."
  

In addition, Minnkota has a re-entry permit, #37672, a vertical well; J-ROC1, Oliver County, 1959 FNL and 333 FWL, another wildcat; original well:

• wildcat / stratigraphic teest (precambrian)
• supporting a CO2 sequestration project for the Minnkota Milton R Young coal-fired power plant;
• well pad was built in close proximity to Minnkota's power plant making the location and operations unusual compared to most oil an gas wells; will drill into the Inyan Kara, Broom Creek and Deadwood formations; it will be P&A's after successfully reaching TD
• considered a geologic success

Note: the scout tickets are wrong, or the map is wrong. J-ROC1, #37672, is not 1959 FNL or 333 FWL. It appears the well is more likely 333 FNL and 1959 from FWL. Let's look at the permit:  the permit application showed 1927 N 339 W; clearly either the application is wrong or the map is wrong.

Twelve permits renewed, all CLR:

• CLR: the Jersey FIIU and Jersey Federal permits, in Mountrail County

One permit canceled:

• #38724, Whiting, Mariah Olson, Williams County
