There is still some drilling interest in Oklahoma as shown by the few drilling permits issued by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. With only 9 active oil and gas rigs in the state, according to the last Baker Hughes update, any new drilling might be considered significant in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Select Exploration Group LLC received a permit to drill at 36 2N 9E in Cimarron County in the Panhandle. The company received the permit for the State of Oklahoma E#3 well to be drilled at a site several miles east of Boise City.
The Duncan Oil Properties Inc. was given a permit for the Doris #2-12 well to be drilled in Custer County at 12 14N 18W. The well is located west of Custer City.
