For newbies, note: it took a Madison well 32 years to reach 255,000 bbls of production. Petro-Hunt has three Bakken wells that have reached a similar amount of production in the same area. One well reached 280,000 bbls in about four years; another reached almost 180,000 bbls in less than a year; and the third well that reached more than 200,000 bbls in less than two years. Although production will vary significantly over the next decades, Bakken wells are expected to go on producing for 39 years. Obviously all Bakken wells won't produce that long, but that's the expectation going in. At least one operator opines that the average EUR for Bakken wells will be 603,000 bbls.

A Note To The Granddaughters

It is interesting how things work out. About once a year we get a duck for a holiday meal, generally Thanksgiving or during the long Christmas / New Year's. This year we bought a "King Cole Duck," a Canadian (Toronto?) company. It was incredible. It was the best duck we have ever had and we have had many ducks over the years, including mallards shot in North Dakota (while assigned to Grand Forks AFB, ND, in another life) and at 5-star restaurants in San Francisco (while assigned to Travis AFB, CA, also in another life, and far, far away).  [Actually thinking back now, the mallard duck in North Dakota might have been better. Whatever.]

The King Cole duck was to have had a orange sauce package but it was missing. My wife was quite upset; that's the most important part of a duck meal, duck à l'orange. But my wife is quite clever and made her own duck sauce which was also the best we had ever had. Most duck sauces are way too thick/syrup. Hers was a very thin sauce, perfect for soaking into the meat. I was quite impressed.

May sent an e-mail note to the King Cole company about the missing sauce. We got an immediate response back, and an offer to refund us $15 if we gave them our mailing address. We responded that we could never accept the $15; the duck was too delicious. We recommended that on the outside of the package the company might note that orange sauce is included but "for those folks who like to prepare their own sauce, here is suggested recipe .... " That way there is something to fall back on if the cook does not have access to internet for a duck sauce recipe and it does not mention the real reason for including a suggested recipe on the back of the package.

Anyway, we were quite impressed overall.

Sunday, our Thanksgiving turkey dinner. No orange sauce.
