Norse Energy Knock-Knock-Knocking on DEC's Door: 6th and 7th Applications are Up

[Update April 2, 2012:  I've made some changes to fix some prior locational discrepancies regarding the Mowatt J. 1H.  Also, the proposed Spacing Unit Map associated with that application has been obtained in PDF form and uploaded here.  As for the Fernandez II 1H, that unit map I've put here.]

Again, despite the NYS DEC's now-nearly-four-year-old State of Continuing Regulatory Unreadiness, we noticed this week two further, full-horizontal shale gas drilling applications on the Minerals Division's Wells Database from Norse Energy.

[Applications One, Two, Three, Four, and Five
all post-draft-SGEIS Marcellus or Utica shale requests also coming from Norse — have been previously covered on this blog, through annotated details, and occasionally maps, so feel free to poke around.]
