CLR's Ravin Wells In Dimmick Lake

Note: Early production data has been added. Scroll to the bottom of the post. These wells were initially DUCs. They were completed about seven months after reaching total depath.

Disclaimer: In a long note like this, there may be typographical and/or factual errors. If this is important to you go to the source. If alerted to errors, I will correct them.

CLR is clearly "on a roll." I can't wait to see their year-end report which we should see sometime in early 2020. One wonders if Harold Hamm has tweaked his business model.

***************************************
Original Post

These are incredible wells. They were brought to my attention by a reader.

Tonight's post begins with a note from a reader:
A few weeks ago the Ravin 2 #34873 came off of confidential with limited production reported. According to our monthly statement, here is what they did in August:
  • #34873 -- Ravin 2: 43,453 runs 
  • #34874 -- Ravin 3: 42,482 runs
Okay, that's the lede.

It should be noted that Abraxas has "Ravin" wells in North Fork oil field. This post is about the CLR Ravin Federal wells in Dimmick Lake.

These well have been coming off the confidential list over the past few weeks, generally one at a time, and I've posted them when noted on the daily activity report, but I believe this is the first time I've "collected" them all in one place.

Based on their names, they include middle Bakken, first bench Three Forks, and second bench Three Forks wells -- I will sort that out later.

Again, for newbies: these are huge wells. I'll provide the frack/completion data later.

All Politics -- Nothing About The Bakken -- September 27, 2019

I normally don't do this, but these are so good, I can't pass them up.







Under the "Twitter" guidelines, I am amazed that CNM has not had its account suspended.

And, believe it or not, RSBN is back on twitter. Apparently it is not allowed to "live stream" but it's back up and running. My hunch, "Diamond and Silk" had a lot to do with getting RSBN back up and running on Twitter.

Two More 1280-Acre Units WIth Plans For 20 Wells -- September 27, 2019

Urban Life -- 21st Century -- September 27, 2019

Wow, I'm in a great mood.

I should be in a terrible mood. I really screwed up some "numbers" today regarding the Bakken. I can't believe the mistakes I made. "Doozies," as they say, even for me.

But, the good news is that a reader (or readers caught the mistakes) called me out on them, even telling me Sophia could do a better job. LOL.

So, anyway, I posted the data without my arithmetic. Sorry about the mistakes but we move on.

****************************
Spectrum -- Cable Television

I've said before that I really, really appreciate "Spectrum," our cable television provider.

But it's getting more and more expensive.  I had a series of "less than productive" phone calls so I wrote Spectrum a letter. Out of literally millions of customers, they get a letter from me and today one of their folks called me. Great, great conversation. We'll follow up with Spectrum on October 6, 2019, but to say the least, three things:
  • very expensive
  • but one gets a lot for that monthly cost
  • and, when one finally gets someone knowledgeable on the phone, it works wonders
So, we'll see.

I'll let my wife make the decision. LOL.

******************************************
Sprint -- Cell Phone

After talking to Spectrum last week, talking to Sprint this morning, in-store, was like talking to ... well, I don't know to what to compare that ... all I can say is I had the most incredible, enlightening conversation I've ever had with Sprint. They never let me down.

So, tomorrow, a third line, a new phone, upgrade an old phone, and a whole bunch of other stuff, and the overall cost is ... yes, expensive, but well worth it.

I really, really don't want to part with my iPhone SE. It was the first iPhone I ever had and it's perfect for me. I love the size. But the lease is up next month: I can either pay it off (not much to pay off) and keep it, or upgrade to a new iPhone. Decisions, decisions.

I am thinking of keeping the iPhone SE. It's become "part of me." I can't imagine parting with it -- ever. Even when Apple quits supporting it, I could put it in a display case on a bookshelf.

And then it struck me. I could keep it. Add a fourth line at lowest possible voice/no text/no data plan and give it to Sophia.

She could figure it out. She would love it. It would be her own. So, we'll see.

***************************
But What A Great Day

It looks like we're going to have 100-degree sunny weather here in north Texas for another week or so. "Everyone" is complaining about the heat. Not me. I love it. Great bicycling weather at 5:00 a.m.

Original Post

Oil: from The WSJ, link here --
Saudi Arabia has moved to impose a partial cease-fire in Yemen, say people familiar with the plans, as Riyadh and the Houthi militants the kingdom is fighting try to bring an end to the four-year war that has become a front line in the broader regional clash with Iran.
Saudi Arabia’s decision follows a surprise move by Houthi forces to declare a unilateral cease-fire in Yemen last week, just days after claiming responsibility for the September 14, 2019, drone and cruise-missile strike on Saudi Arabia’s oil industry. While the Houthis fired two missiles at Saudi Arabia earlier this week, the strike wasn’t seen by Saudi leaders as a serious attack that would undermine the new cease-fire efforts.
Houthi leaders initially said they were responsible for the attack on the oil facilities, but Saudi, U.S. and European officials have dismissed the claims as a transparent attempt to obscure Iran’s role in the strike. Yemeni fighters, these officials say, have neither the weapons nor the skills to carry out such a sophisticated strike.

Definitions
  • war: 20 drones/cruise missiles per attack on Saudi assets
  • partial cease-fire: 10 - 19 drones / missiles per attack on Saudi assets
  • total cease-fire: 1 - 9 drones / missiles per attack on Saudi assets but "aimed" to miss their target
  • peace: in the eye of the beholder
