WPX Posts A Nice Sanish Well (Three Forks B1) In Antelope Oil Field -- November 4, 2014

A very nice well, and hooked up to a natural gas pipeline:
  • 27728, 1,458, WPX, Ruby 31-30HX, Antelope, Sanish formation; the app says Three Forks B1; 33 stages; 5.2 million lbs sand, t8/14; cum 57K 9/15;

This completes the four-well pad inside the reservation:
  • 23483, 1,471, WPX, Ruby 31-30HW, t1/13, cum 192K 9/14;
  • 23482, 1,503, WPX, Ruby 31-30HW, t8/14, cum 38K 9/14;
  • 23481, 1,399, WPX, Ruby 31-30HA, t8/14, cum 52K 9/14;
It will be interesting to see how WPX fares under a new tribal chief. Not everyone was happy when WPX "bought" 7% of the reservation early in the Bakken boom.

Just A Matter Of Time

The other day we asked what the EU would do. The US has discontinued buying sovereign debt; Japan announced a new stimulus package to buy sovereign debt; the question was what the EU would do. Here is the latest:
The European Union cut its already low economic growth forecasts further on Tuesday, indicating the recovery will remain sluggish amid problems for the biggest economies, particularly France and Germany.
The official forecast for growth this year in the 18-country eurozone was cut to 0.8 percent from a prediction of 1.2 percent made in the spring. Indicating little good was expected next year too, it reduced the 2015 prediction from 1.7 percent to 1.1 percent.
"The situation in the euro area remains extremely fragile," said German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Unemployment in the currency union was forecast to decrease at a painfully slow rate — after 11.6 percent this year, it is expected to dip to 11.3 percent next year and 10.8 percent in 2016. [Is 11.6 to 11.3 either statistically significant or even reproducible? Hardly.]
It's just a matter of time.

Regular readers know what's coming next.

A Note For The Granddaughters
Women Have The Last Word -- Literally

From Rediscovering Homer, Andrew Dalby, c. 2004, in which the author attempts to identify the "real Homer" -- not the oral poet (or poets) but rather the individual who actually wrote down the Iliad and the Odyssey.

An important element in the mystery involved looking closely at the language in which the original were written.
We have to look between the "language of men" and its obvious corollary, the "language of women," within a single community.
The best-recorded example was on the Caribbean island of Dominica, where, in the seventeenth century, men's and women's languages were entirely different in vocabulary though identical in structure. This had happened because men from the South American mainland (who spoke an Arawakan language) had invaded the island one hundred years earlier. They had drivenoff the Dominican men and settled with the women and children (who spoke Island-Carib).
Then followed a period of several generations during which each sex had its own language and both sexes were bilingual. Eventually it was the men's language that disappeared.
I assume there was a period of marital bliss in that short "in-between" era. LOL.

Ice Age Now

Arctic Sea age extends to greatest extent since 2001, despite rising CO2.  To 401 ppm. I suppose.
