Eight New Permits; Six Permits Renewed; Three DUCs Reported As Completed -- January 2, 2025

Locator: 44591B.

Active rigs: 34.

WTI: $73.28.

Eight permits approved, #41470 - #41477, inclusive:

• Operators: Enerplus (6); Hunt Oil Company
• Fields: Little Knife (Dunn County); Ross (Mountrail County)
• Comments:
• Hunt Oil has permit for two State C wells, SWSW 3-156-90, 
• to be sited 357 FSL and 513 / 543 FWL;
• Enerplus has permits for six Crying Tree wells, SWSE 8-147-97, 
• all to be sited outside the spacing unit; the spacing units: section 5 / 8 -147-97, to sited 935 / 1023 FSL and 1614 / 1704 FEL.

Crying Tree wells: there are already at least nine producing Crying Tree wells and another Crying Tree already permitted. So that suggests at least 15 Crying Tree wells -- but I could be wrong on that, but that is what it appears right now.

Six permits renewed:

• Grayson Mill, all in Todd (Williston) oil field: one Hawkeye (#35866) and five Pyramid permits (#35867 - #35871, inclusive). The pad has ten permits / wells on the northwest side of Williston, at the corner of 52nd Street NW and between 32nd Avenue West / Easy Street. I can't make this stuff up. 
• the Pyramid wells are mediocre at best; it will be interesting if this changes with six more Pyramid/Hawkeye wells to be drilled.
  

Three producing wells (DUCs) were reported completed:

• 38098, 246, BR, Stafford 12-34TFH, McKenzie County;
• 40564, 4,974, MRO, Whitaker 34-11H, Dunn County;
• 40614, 4,989, MRO, Elliot 34-11TFH, Dunn County;

The well that is currently still producing, closest to this group of new MRO wells noted above, is 0.25 miles away, situated in a section east of this MRO section, and operated by a different company than MRO:

• 17976, 110, BR, Patton21-1H, Bailey, t9/09; cum 340K 11/24, note the huge jump in production, from 910 bbls over 29 days (9/24) to 6,206 bbls over 30 days, 11/24. The most recent sundry form is dated August, 2022, and does not provide any helpful information regarding the huge jump in production:
