- the story doesn't go into specifics, but to grow by 3.5 million bopd, one could opine
- 1.5 million bopd increase in the Permian
- 0.75 million bopd increase in the Bakken
- 0.50 million bopd increase in the Eagle Ford
- 0.50 million bopd increase in STACK/SCOOP
- 0.25 million bopd increase in the Niobrara
- when you break it down like that, one could see an increase in production greater then 3.5 million bopd five years from now
- two billion bbls of original oil in place (OOIP)
- compare to 500 billion bbls OOIP in place in the Bakken
- light oil; Bakken oil is also light oil
- Iran's proven oil reserves: 160 billion bbls, about 10% of the world's total; ranks it fourth among petroleum-rich countries (among US states it would be third or fourth)
- with proven reserves of 160 billion bbls, another 2 billion bbls is a rounding error
- the Boeing 787 Dreamliner rollout
- the Florida rally
- the Swedish incident clarified
- the appointment of a new National Security advisor
- that Hillary is not president
- that term limits prevented Obama from running again
Apple: this is what I'm waiting for -- the new iPad Pro lineup -- to be announced in March. I'm looking at the new 10.5 inch, edge-to-edge iPad Pro. Apple is firing on all cylinders right now.

How Irrelevant Has Mainstream Media Become?
A reader sent me the link to this article in Newsweek earlier today. I thought it was pretty good; might have had some comments, but debated whether it was worth posting. I went back to the article a few minutes ago, still debating whether to post it. I decided to see what others thought about the article. Comments: zero. Nada. Zilch. Goose Egg. Nil. [February 21, 2017, 7:51 a.m. Central Time -- still no comments. Truly amazing.]
This article was published over 12 hours ago in a national media outlet on a topic one would think would be quite thought-provoking. And here it is, 12 hours later, and not one comment.
I remember back in the late 60's and all through the 70's Newsweek was among the top three news periodicals. Now it's not even available in hard copy, only digitally. [The cheesy, trashy ads, and the very, very slow re-fresh also suggests how really badly the digital Newsweek is doing.]
The silence is deafening.
