Information Overload -- So Many Stories, So Little Time
In this final issue of Basic Points, we discuss what we consider The Final Problem for central banks, governments, and investors in the industrial world.
Tragically, capitalism's greatest triumph and the powerful global economic expansion were interrupted by capitalism's greatest infamy. The Crash was caused primarily by the major banks on Wall Street and Europe that we have long labeled as the B5—The Big, Bad, Bonused, Bail-out Banks.
A recession spread rapidly across the Industrial World, and panicky central banks and governments united to rescue collapsing banks, at enormous taxpayer cost. Interest rates were slashed to near-zero during the crisis, when outright defation loomed.
The ensuing recoveries have been so tepid that money continues to be astonishingly cheap for governments,and corporations—and, bizarrely, for banks. What we have called “The Financial Heroin” continues to flow into the veins of once-vibrant economies.This is a week-end of reading. I may come back to it later, but not wanting to delay getting it out there, go to the link above. The article was sent to me because of the bit on global warming but there is much more to it that might be of interest to readers.
This is an interesting study -- the economic benefits of unconventional oil and gas production. In addition to the direct benefits measured in revenue for the federal and state governments, the study also pointed out the top ten states whose employment numbers benefit most from unconventional oil and gas production -- but with a twist: none of the ten are oil and gas producers.
The top 10 non-producing states in terms of jobs are New York, Illinois, Michigan, Florida, New Jersey, Minnesota, North Carolina, Georgia, Missouri, and Wisconsin.Florida? Minnesota? Wisconson? Hmmm... I assume there's a good chance that New York will eventually be added to the list of producers. Hopefully.
Here we go again! Canadian company considering building a railroad to carry oilsands products to an Alaskan port.
Alison Redford’s cabinet is expected to decide in January whether the government will spend $10 million to study the idea of building a rail line to ship oilsands products from northern Alberta to a port in Alaska.
The money would help pay for a $40-million study that will investigate the feasibility of a proposed 2,400-kilometre rail line to carry landlocked oilsands products from Fort McMurray to Delta Junction, Alaska.
From there, Alberta’s oil would flow through the Trans-Alaska Pipeline system to the Valdez Marine Terminal, and on to booming Asian markets.
***********************Al Jazeera on Wednesday announced a deal to take over Current TV, the low-rated cable channel that was founded by Al Gore, a former vice president, and his business partners seven years ago. Al Jazeera plans to shut Current and start an English-language channel, which will be available in more than 40 million homes, with newscasts emanating from both New York and Doha, Qatar.
Basin Electric To Build Two More "Peaking Power Plants" -- The Williston Basin, North Dakota
Peaking power plants, also known as peaker plants, and occasionally just "peakers," are power plants that generally run only when there is a high demand, known as peak demand, for electricity. Because they supply power only occasionally the power supplied commands a much higher price per kilowatt hour than base load power.From a reader, sent in as a comment:
Another project in the works west of Williston: Basin Electric Power Cooperative plans to build two (2) more electricity generating stations, next to where they are currently building a 45 MW peaking plant (power station). The filing is listed below for the two new peaking plants.
STATE OF NORTH DAKOTAIf I have the story correct, earlier last year I posted that Basin Electric Power Cooperative would be building two new power stations, the Lonesome Creek Stations west of Watford City, adjacent to one that is already there.
PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
Basin Electric Power Cooperative
Case No. PU-12-509

So, right now, when this is complete, for Basin Electric Power Cooperative:
- two new power stations next to an existing power station west of Williston (Pioneer stations)
- two new power stations next to an existing power station west of Watford City (Lonesome Creek)
The Grenora Road between US Highway 2 and the city of Grenora to the north will now be home to two (2) natural gas gathering and processing plants (Stateline I and II) and three natural gas powered peaking plants (Pioneer 1, 2, and 3).
The Definitive Reply to Different Fracking Technologies --- A Huge "Thank You" To a Reader
Subsequently, I received a great comment that provided more explanation and background regarding fracking/completion technologies. Because some people may not read comments, I will post the part having to do specifically with the issue at hand (next paragraph). Before reading that, one should read the original post, the updates, and the comments (at the link above).
Now, the comment that provides a much fuller explanation:
There is more to the comment but that should be read at the original link to put it in context.
I will ask for everyone's patience if I continue to link Motley Fool stories in the future, but will emphasize again that they may not be the best source (or perhaps not even a source at all -- smile).

Motley Fool Lists Four Key Areas To Watch When Following KOG
Later, 12:47: the more I look at this, the more I have to agree with the individual who provided the first comment questioning "cemented liners." It sounds like KOG's cemented liners for completion is simply the "old" plug-and-perf method of fracking. And the little I know about it suggests that the swell packers technique is more effective in the Bakken. But that's just my two cents worth, coming from a non-specialist with no formal (or informal) training in the oil and gas industry.
Later, 12:08 pm: see first comment below. The questions: is anyone other than KOG using cemented liners in the Bakken? Has KOG switched to cemented liners as a matter of course, or are they testing various completion methods? Is cemented liners "old" technology, common technology when fracking Bakken wells? This UND-EERC source would suggest that cemented liners are neither innovative nor preferable to other methods. This is the conclusion of the UND-EERC source:
Since horizontal drilling became standard practice over the past two decades, all of these completion methods have been utilized in the Bakken. However, the uncemented, preperforated liner isolated with swell packers has become the most commonly employed method of completion in most Bakken wells because of its high degree of fracture control and long-term success rate.
This linked article breaks out four key areas it says must be watched:
- production
- cash balance and credit facility
- hedge situation
- cost-cutting measures
Second, hedge situation: currently, KOG is using swaps and "no premium" collars; in hedging transactions, KOG will either receive cash from, or will have to pay cash to, its counterparties in the transaction.
Third, cash balance and its credit facility situation: good, bad, or indifferent regarding its financial situation, KOG provides a glimpse of the potential and the risk of drilling in the Bakken. In 2009, KOG's CAPEX was $27 million. Two years later, in 2011, its CAPEX was $260 million, and for 2012, the company estimates it will spend $650 million to meet production goals. Wow. KOG now has a $750 million revolving line of credit.
Finally, cost-cutting measures. Drilling times, completion techniques, reduction in time to complete wells, lease operating expense. Several data points:
- according to the article, KOG has cut drilling time to five days, representing a 3-day reduction
- using cemented liners for completing a well (more on that later)
- using "zipper fracs" to decrease time to complete a well; completed two well pads in 8 to 10 days by using "zipper fracs," which are made possible by microseismic fracture mapping
- bringing lease operating expenses down to $5 range per barrel
- cost-cutting measures most helpful in areas (of Williams County) where wells are not as good; KOG expects an internal rate of return fo 20%, assuming well costs of $7 million to $7.5 million EURs of 300,000 bbls
Now, about those cemented liners:
In terms of completion, the company is making solid progress by using innovative techniques, such as cemented liners. This is a completion technique that involves cementing the liner throughout the horizontal wellbore, which has the benefits of greater wellbore stability, greater control of fracture initiation, as well as improved well serviceability.

- a mature field, but new areas responding nicely to horizontal drilling
Global Warming is So Yesterday -- Alaska Dispatch
The lede:
Alaska is going rogue on climate change.
Defiant as ever, the state that gave rise to Sarah Palin is bucking the mainstream yet again: While global temperatures surge hotter and the ice-cap crumbles, the nation's icebox is getting even icier.
That may not be news to Alaskans coping with another round of 50-below during the coldest winter in two decades, or to the mariners locked out of the Bering Sea this spring by record ice growth.
Then again, it might. The 49th state has long been labeled one of the fastest-warming spots on the planet. But that's so 20th Century.This comes even as the US reports lowest CO2 emissions since, was it, 1990?
In the first decade since 2000, the 49th state cooled 2.4 degrees Fahrenheit.
So, I guess it all fits. Maybe "we" overshot the target for CO2 emissions -- unless faux environmentalists who have never been to Barrow, Alaska, want to see an even colder Alaska.
I can't make this stuff up.
Oh, by the way, Russia just experienced one of its coldest winters in decades. No links. It was posted earlier.
Wells Reporting IPs Have Been Posted
They are also posted at the "New Wells Reporting" link at the sidebar.
New Wells Reporting -- 1Q13 -- The Williston Basin, North Dakota
For detailed explanation on how this page works, look at the bottom of the page at this link.
An explanation of the shorthand used on the MDW blogsite. As an example:
16375, 228, CLR, MPHU 43-16SH, Red River, Medicine Pole Hills, t1/07; cum 164K 1/13; 1,500 bbls/month
- 16375: the file number/well permit number; names of wells may change; the permit numbers don't
- 228: the initial production (IP) number as reported by the operator; method used not necessarily uniform from operator to operator; not confirmed by government
- CLR: name of the operator; generally I use the company's publicly traded ticker symbol
- MPHU 43-16SH: the legal name of the well; the name of the well can be changed, but rarely happens and requires permission from the NDIC;
- Red River: the formation targeted; not always provided; if not provided, generally assumed to be the Bakken pool (could be either middle Bakken formation or one of the Three Forks sub-formations)
- Medicine Pole Hills: the specific oil field in the Williston Basin
- t1/07: the test date for the well; the day the IP was calculated; generally close to the day the well was completed
- cum 164K 1/13: the total amount of oil produced as of the date provided; in this example, January, 2013
- additional information may be provided: could include the amount of proppant used in millions of pounds (sand, ceramics); the current monthly production; etc

I'm betting the latter. If accurate, a huge "thank you" to a reader. This well is NORTHEAST of Watford City. [Turned out to be 25,101 feet long. Yes, a super-long lateral, almost 3 sections long.] Did Lynn Helms misspeak or was he misquoted in The Bismarck Tribune when he said there was a gusher NORTHWEST of Watford City? If there is still another gusher NORTHWEST of Watford City that is better than this well, we are talking some big wells in the Bakken, 47 stages; 14 million lbs of sand; t9/12; cum 640K 2/15; cum 828K 12/21;

As far as the 5 days to drill......normally you are doing good if you spud-rig release in 20 days. A few contractors who trip pipe exceptionally fast and have no break downs and just get lucky where everything goes well(i.e. no mud motor or mwd failures) can spud to TD in as little as 12 days, but that does not include the time to run the production liner. The 5-day number may come in as the number of days to drill a 10,000' lateral. Once again, you have to get lucky to knock it out drilling 2000' a day and have no failures. Plus, that is a Middle Bakken well. Three Forks are more difficult to drill that fast.
