Cooks Peak is a very irregularly shaped oil field in southwestern North Dakota. It is west of Whiting's activity in the Pronghorn Sands in the Bell oil field area.  The horizontal/directional wells in this field appear to be predominantly Birdbear wells; if the Kjelstrup well is a good well, it might open a new chapter in the Bakken.

That's another nice Hess well in Robinson Lake:

Another great educational article from RBN Energy: refining 101.

Oil futures are up one dollar. Brent up over $114.
Oil futures rose above $114 per barrel on Thursday, buoyed by expectations the European Central Bank will manage to ease its debt crisis with a new programme of bond purchases.
I'm sure there will be some profit taking before the day is over, and so XOM won't hit a new high today, but XOM certainly is close to hitting an all-time new high. [I was wrong: XOM his an all-time high this a.m.] [Later: XOM blasts through to hit all-time new high; may even close at all-time new high.]
