- crude oil production; sets an all-time record and jumps 3.4% month-over-month
- natural gas production: sets an all-time record, and even out-producing the largest gas field in the Mediterranean; in the Bakken, natural gas is an irritating and dangerous by-product
- boepd production: sets an all-time record
- number of producing wells in North Dakota: despite a quarter of the number of active rigs in July compared to the height of the boom, North Dakota has more producing wells than ever
- other notes of interest:
- there are still about 900 DUCs -- wells that have been drilled to depth but for some reason or another, the oil company has decided to postpone completion of the well -- many, many reasons will be given, but I consider the companies simply "managing their assets"
- the number of inactive wells actually increased slightly month-over-month -- this is also not unexpected in Bakken 2.5
International
- Saudi Arabia: internal bickering likely scuttled the Aramco IPO once and for all (it would have died regardless); will focus on petrochemical dynasty
- Global warming: NASA confirms that 410 is the "Goldilocks" number: CO2 greening the earth; Africa a beneficiary of the phenomenon
- US gasoline demand: finally shows life
- US crude oil draws: huge; off to the races -- WTI flirts with $70; and, here;
- Official but old news: US is now #1 producer of crude oil in the universe, having surpassed Russia a month or so ago
- California bucking the trend: relying more and more on Saudi oil
- Permian sets a record: $95,001 / acre
- The big picture: having now struck out 4/4 in getting pipelines approved, Trudeau suggests looking at the big picture;
