Random Update On A Couple Of Wells In The Williston Basin; It's Snowing Near Sheridan, WY -- The Winter That Never Ends

Under my page, "Things To Follow Up On:"

1. This item can now be removed. This well was reported as dry.

• 26761, DRY, Flatirons Resources, Sundsbak 31-11, Torning oil field, a Madison well, completed 12/13;

2. I am leaving this one on the page, but maybe some knows whether this well was re-fracked or simply a workover or some other reason for the improvement in January 2014; the increase in production suggests a work-over, not a refracking, but Marathon had targeted a number of older wells for re-fracking some time ago:

• 17310, 459/IA, Marathon, Eckelberg 41-26H, 49,138 bbls in 15 months; t8/08; cum 117K 11/13; taken off-line 7/13; went back on line 1/14; significant increase in oil production; no explanation in well file; production profile:

Global Warming

Regular readers know the fun I have with Patrick Kennedy (or whichever Kennedy it was) who said that due to global warming, the Kennedy children (and your children) would never see snow again. I can't make that up. He didn't say your great-great-great-great grandchildren, but your children. My children and grandchildren have seen a lot of snow since that comment was made. If the Kennedys have missed that snow (unlikely since Boston had an incredibly snowy winter, 2013 - 2014) they will get another chance. It's currently snowing near Sheridan, Wyoming, in the high country, which will continue into tonight and tomorrow. The Beartooth Highway south of Livingston, MT, could be closed tonight due to snow. Plan accordingly.
