Eighteen (18) new permits --
  • Operators: BR (12), XTO (3), Murex (2), Slawson
  • Fields: Camel Butte McKenzie), Siverston (McKenzie), Temple (Williams), Big Bend (Mountrail)
  • Comments: BR's 12 permits are for the following sections -- 34-151-96 (4); 10-150-96 (4); 27-151-96 (4)
If it wasn't for "bad luck," OXY USA wouldn't have any luck at all. OXY USA reports a dry hole. I don't think this well has been previously reported:
  • 28162, dry, OXY USA, Evelyn Stroh 4-20-17H-143-96, Fayette, from the sundry form received August 14, 2014: "The surface hole was drilled, cased, and cemented on 6/5/14 using a spudder rig. A suspension of drilling was approved for this well and the other two wells on this pad. Propose to plug and abandon the surface hole and reenter at a later date. .... cement ... Shut in well head equipment. There are other wells on this pad and the location will not be reclaimed. Secure well head with a blind flange."
  • The other two wells on this pad:
  • 28163, drl, renamed Federal Bud 3-29-32H-143-96, 
  • 28164, drl, renamed Federal Bud 4-29-32H-143-96,

This Is 21st Century Science

Breitbart is reporting:
Environmental scientists at the University of Nottingham have made a shocking and expensive discovery: eco-friendly buildings made of "sustainable" wood burn much more easily than eco-unfriendly ones made of stone, concrete, steel or glass.
They made their surprise discovery over the weekend when their new Carbon Neutral Laboratory for Sustainable Chemistry burned to the ground in what local firemen claimed was the biggest blaze in over a decade.
The £15 million building had been erected according to the most rigorous environmental principles, made with a wooden frame and other "sustainable" materials, and powered with "renewable" energy, so that the structure could remain "carbon neutral" throughout its lifetime.
According to Nottingham's registrar Dr Paul Greatrix this demonstrated the university's "commitment to sustainability in all its forms."
Unfortunately, the fire appears to have remained unmoved by the building's eco-friendly credentials and razed it to the ground in much the same way one of its ancestors did to a third of the City of London in the Great Fire of 1666.
After the Great Fire - and the rebuilding of London by Sir Christopher Wren - an act was passed in 1667 making it illegal to erect buildings using wooden frames. 
I wonder how much CO2 was released into the atmosphere fighting this fire.

The rest of the story gets better. I wish I could post all of it. Go to the linked article to get the rest of the story.

It appears the original study -- which turned out to be flawed about the safety of wood-timber-framed buildings -- might have been authored by the same folks who did the original "hockey stick" study suggesting global warming.
