Tuesday Morning Energy Links; Wells Coming Off Confidential List

Wells coming off the confidential list:
  • 19856, 130, BR, CCU Meriwether 44-19MBH, Corral Creek, t7/12; cum 930 bbls (no typo) 110/12; off-line after the first ten days of production;
  • 20656, 613, XTO, Vernon 11X-34G, Tioga; t5/12; cum 14K 7/12;
  • 21276, 871, ERF, Duet 148-93-18C-07-1H, McGregory Buttes, t8/12; cum 45K 10/12;
  • 21479, 1,753, MRO, MHA USA 11-4TFH, Reunion Bay, t6/05 (sic); cum 24K 7/12; 
  • 22241, 553, Hess, GO-Grimson 158-98-3625H-1, Rainbow, t7/12; cum 15K 7/12; 
  • 22409, 623, Slawson, Ann Nelson (Federal) 2-31-30H, Ross, t6/12; cum 8K 7/12 
The test date for the MRO well is obviously an error; probably 6/12; it was fracked in 30 stages with 2.2 million pounds (sand frack; specifics not provided)

Miscellaneous note re: 20656, from the geologist's narrative: "In addition to the primary Three Forks target, secondary zones of interest were the Tyler, Ratcliffe, and Mission Canyon Formations (Madison).  These formations were evaluated during the drilling of the vertical portion of the well. The Middle Bakken in these two sections is currently being produced by the Davidson 14X-34, which was originally drilled by Headington Oil Company and is now operated by XTO Energy, Inc." Later: "not oil or gas shows observed in the Tyler. In the Ratcliffe negligible amounts of natural gas; no oil. In the Mission Canyon, no oil and poor gas readings. Bottom line: Tyler, Ratcliffe, and Mission Canyon probably not productive here.

I've blogged several times how much I enjoy Amtrak (although recently, it seems its prices have become a bit steep compared to what I remember, but I could be wrong on that). A reader sent me this link regarding Amtrak. It's a "fun" article to read.

On a completely different note, I don't know how much ticket prices are subsidized by the government. But if the government is interested in changing Americans' habits and getting more of them to ride the train -- think California's bullet train -- additional subsidizing of Amtrak's tickets could be an option. That would be a nice presidential debate talking point: subsidizing ticket prices for rail.
