Two producing wells (DUCs) reported as completed:

• 39827, 2,374, MRO, Cournoyer 11-17H,
• 34633, 3,091, MRO, Satrum 11-17TFH, 

These completed DUCs are about a mile east of a 9-well MRO pad with many of the new permits at this post, October 23, 2023.

I normally wouldn't pay a lot of attention but it's a huge pad, a 9-well pad; and,
a very old MRO well on that pad drilled and completed in 2009, has a rig on that specific site.

The file report says that this well, on that pad, was approved as a re-entry well for MRO to drill side-track #2:

• 17509, 450 FNL 1200 FEL, 2,162, MRO, Nanette Strommen 41-13H, Killdeer, t2/09; cum 223K 8/23;

The other permits/wells on that 9-well pad, sited west to east, with four horizontals appearing to run north, and four horizontals running south; it appears a horizontal is yet to be drilled for #40231, but I could be wrong:

• 17509, see above, runs south (definite);
  
• 40288, runs south (?), conf, MRO, Bowers 31-13H, Killdeer,
  
• 40290, runs south (?), conf, MRO, Grayson 441-13TFH, Killdeer,
• 40289, runs south (?), conf, MRO, Maadsen 41-13H, Killdeer,
• 40287, runs north (?); rig on site, conf, MRO, Serum 34-12H, Killdeer,
• 40231, north (?), conf, MRO, Lillebridge 44-12H, Killdeer,
• 40286, runs north (?), conf, MRO, Noreen 44-12TFH, Killdeer,
• 40285, runs north (?), conf, MRO, Muggli 44-12H, Killdeer,
• 40284, runs north (?), conf, MRO, Kellogg 14-7TFH, Killdeer,

MRO Strommen wells in Killdeer field are tracked here (not sure if all Strommen wells are accounted for).
