RE:RE:RE:RE:Well #4 Permit Application/Approval Timing InfoI'm focused on the same question, and hoping there is some imminent news about a new permit so the rig can move over to #5 as soon as its done with #4. There clearly doesn't seem to be a long delay from application to approval with the AOGCC (which is good), but that also means the permit for #5 should already have been approved if it had been submitted by DME more than a week or two ago.
I can't find any publicly available information about pending permit applications at the AOGCC. There generally seems to be a several week lag at the AOGCC from permit approval to the posting of an actual copy of the approved permit. DME doesn't announce when an application is filed, but seems to announce as new permits are approved. So basically (unfortunately), our first real indication of a permit application having been submitted seems to be when DME announces that a new permit has been approved by the AOGCC.
FYI, there was no mention of any other pending DME application at the recent AOGCC meeting last week. Though from my limited experience attending recent meetings I haven't normally seen them commenting on the status of pending applications (other than pending applications by Pinta South for "shut in" status, which were further explained at the meeting by a representative of Pinta South - per my earlier post).
