  1. You have been busy posting all the news about the North Dakota economic miracle. A lot of interesting things, I haven't looked at all of them but will do so later when there is time.

    Meanwhile Mark Perry has posted the September production figures, 728,494 bpd up from 701,000 bpd for August.

    1. Actually, I think it's incredible, but if I say "incredible" in the stand-alone post, I get a lot of mail telling me I'm an idiot. I have to understate some things to minimize nuisance comments. Smile.

      Seriously, I do think it's incredible. It's even more incredible when one considers how fast this has all developed, and how infrastructure is still a challenge.
