I posted some of this yesterday at the bottom of another post:
... a big "thank you" to Karen over at the Bakken Shale Discussion Group. For a long time, on a daily basis, despite having a real life (unlike me), she posted the results of wells that came off the confidential list on a daily basis. I couldn't wait for her reports to be posted. It was because of her posts, I finally decided to get my own "Basic Subscription" to the NDIC website. One of the nice things about her postings at the Discussion Group, folks would comment on the peculiarities of various wells. I learned a lot.
I am thanking her again on this stand-alone post -- I hope it doesn't embarrass her -- in case folks missed it yesterday. She probably did more than anyone else to get me really interested in the NDIC reports.
Karen hasn't posted in several weeks now. I assume her BEXP oil well came in with a typical BEXP IP and she is on a Caribbean beach somewhere. It takes a lot of work to post these results every day, and with the manufacturing phase about ready to kick in, it will only get more challenging.
So, thank you, Karen, wherever you are, and I hope you are enjoying the beverage of your choice on that white, sandy beach.

Sometimes I wish this blog was part of "Facebook" so that it could be accessed only by "friends." Yes, that sounds elitist but is not meant to be. I would happily expand the "friends" to whomever wanted to join. But the point is this: at the end of the day, there is a small cadre of folks really, really enthusiastic about the Bakken. And it would be interesting to see them in a "Facebook" group.But then, the right side of my brain says, "no way, Jose." The anonymity of the Bakken crowd allows a better flow of ideas. "Facebook" friends will result in group think. I get a fair number of comments I cannot post because of the language and a fair number of comments I can't post because it would embarrass "anonymous" due to lack of understanding even basic concepts of economics.
Anyway, I digress.

Karen, if you happen to read this, one favor. Please do not respond. It would only embarrass me. In addition, I would like to think you have been able to break yourself of the Bakken addiction, something I am unable to do. I hope to enter a 12-step program some time down the road.
