Friday Notes -- Some Bakken; Some Not

RBN Energy has another great article on oil / natural gas ratio, the frac spread (as in fractionation). I am really impressed with all the great articles RBN provides. As I've said before, such information would provide basis for an elective for a student attending a school of engineering.

The wells coming off the confidential have been posted; scroll way down for the post or find them on the sidebar at the right. Only three reported today, but two were gushers, once by XTO and one by BR.

I may have to start a top ten list of why global warming is good for us. The story that suggested the need was that North Dakota cattle have been enjoying warmer winters later (short memories: 2010?). Even The Dickinson Press has found a silver lining in global warming: warm cattle.

WSJ Links

Section D: Lots of movie reviews, including,  Tom Cruise::Jack Reacher:: Loathsome.

Section C: Nothing of interest.

Section B:
Section A:
The storm brought blizzard conditions and up to a foot or more of snow to parts of Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin, said Jim Keeney, weather program manager with the central region headquarters of the National Weather Service in Kansas City. "It's the first big snow in a very long time," he said. "It's been a real shock back to winter for a lot of folks."
A real shock to those who fail to understand global warming predicts a one-degree rise in temperature over a hundred years. Wheres' Sam Kinison when we need him?

Slow news day. I assume even the WSJ reporters were preparing for the Mayan armageddon.

Two lost decades: Generation Y professionals' dreams fade. Too bad the president just doesn't get it. He's still pushing for a carbon tax. That's a good way to grow jobs. I wasn't going to post the WSJ story but reading the "dreams" hit me pretty hard. And folks wonder why Oregon, Washington, and Colorado okayed recreational marijuana. It's gonna be a long four years. Cue up Connie Francis.
