Random Update Of An Oasis Oyloe Well In North Tobacco Garden -- March 21, 2018

This well came off the confidential list today (its two sister wells are still on confidential list):

• 32616, 1,363, Oasis, Oyloe 5199 14-26 11B, North Tobacco Garden, 50 stages; 9.9 million lbs; mesh/large/large ceramic; a huge well; 130+ in first four full months, including 42K in 12/17; t10/17; cum 145K 1/18;

Look at that production: over 40K in one month plus another 11,000 boe yields about 50K+ boe in one month (plus a lot of water):

Another Oasis Well: 

This Time A Lawlar Well In the Immediate Area As The Oyloe Well Above

The well:

• 20460, 1,195, Oasis, Lawlar 26-35H, North Tobacco Garden, t9/11; cum 310K 1/18; 

Let's check to see the production profile of #20460. FracFocus has no data to suggest that it's been re-fracked but a lot of neighboring wells have recently been fracked.

The Atomic Page

One book today: The Last Man Who Knew Everything: The Life and Times of Enrico Fermi, Father of the Nuclear Age, David N. Schwartz, c. 2017

The first paragraph from the preface:

My father was a particle physicist. In 1962, he and two of his colleagues conducted an experiment that demonstrated the existence of two distinct types of "neutrinos," ghostly subatomic particles that can pass through hundreds of millions of miles of lead without bumping into a single atom. Hypothesized in a leap of imagination by the acerbic Viennese physicist Wolfgang Pauli, the neutrino's creation in radioactive processes was first explained by Enrico Fermi, who also gave the particle its Italianate name, meaning "little neutral one." The 1962 experiment -- a direct legacy of one of Fermi's most famous scientific achievements -- made the front page of the New York Times and won my father and his collaborators the 1988 Nobel Prize in Physics. 

Important dates:

• b. 1901
• d. 1954
• Nobel Prize: 1938

Quick data points from the introduction

• two major intellectual revolutions during his lifetime
• theory of relativity
• quantum theory
• notable contributions to the first
• contributions to the second established him as one of the greatest scientists of the day
• self-educated at Rome
• post-graduate education, briefly, Germany and Holland
• returned to University of Rome
• lecturer at University of Florence where he made his first, and maybe his most important contribution
• a method to bring quantum mechanical rules into the field of statistical mechanics
• two years later: professorship in theoretical physics at the University of Rome 
• he built one of the major international schools of modern physics
• made several extraordinary contributions:
• a theory that explains a puzzling type of radioactive process called "beta decay"
• the discovery that certain elements, when bombarded with neutrons, become radioactive
• the discovery that the intensity of this induced radioactivity increases when the neutrons are slowed down prior to hitting these elements
• 1938, Nobel Prize; uses opportunity to flee fascist Italy via Stockholm for a faculty position at Columbia University
• learned to his astonishment and embarrassment, that German scientists replicating his 1934 experiments bombarding uranium with neutrons concluded that Fermi had been splitting uranium atoms without knowing it
• with this knowledge, he and Hungarian emigre Leo Szilard began to explore the possibility of crating a sustained nuclear chain reaction with uranium
• after moving the project to the University of Chicago at the request of the US government, Fermi and a large team of fellow physicists and others succeeded in doing so on December 2, 1942, officially ushering in the nuclear age
• he was a central figure in the design of plutonium production reactors for the Manhattan Project and in the summer of 1944 moved to Los Alamos, where the first atomic bombs were designed and built
• he played a key role in solving the many hypothetical and practical problems involved in this final phase of the Manhattan Project
• he witnessed the first detonation of an atomic bomb, known as the Trinity test, at Alamogordo, NM, on July 16, 1945
• rest of career at University of Chicago
• spoke in defense of his Manhattan Project colleague J Robert Oppenheimer during the 1954 hearings
• died of stomach cancer, November, 1954, age 53

Other data points:

• success in integrating quantum rules into statistical mechanics: Fermi-Dirac statistics
• the basis for virtually all condensed matter physics and much else besides
• work after WWII led to Standard Model
• he may have a handful of peers in either theory (Paul Dirac, Werner Heisenberg, Wolfgang Pauli) or experiment (Arthur Compton, James Franck, I. I. Rabi), in the art of teaching, he had none
• some five of his graduate students went on to win Nobel Prizes and several other future Nobel Prize winners though of him as their primary graduate or postgraduate mentor
• in terms of influence as a teacher and mentor, he was truly unique
