The Enerplus Tortoise / Turtle Pads

First the graphic:

Now the wells. These are really incredible wells. Look at their cumulative production to date, and then note they are less than four years old. Bakken wells are expected to produce oil for 30 years and during their lifetime will be fracked numerous times. Primary production from Bakken wells right now probably return in the neighborhood of 12 - 15% (over their lifetime) but Mark Papa has suggested the next shale breakthrough will be getting that primary production to 50% (previously posted).

The Art Page

Coincidentally, our middle granddaughter, this past weekend, at a painting workshop, chose a photograph I took of a tortoise in the Galapagos years ago when the US Air Force was studying drug smuggling in that part of the world for her first pastel. The challenge: to use certain colors to highlight an otherwise dull photograph.
