Canadian CBR, Slawson, The Dockets, And All That Jazz, Page 1 -- September 3, 2018

Mark the calendar: Friday, September 14, 2018, 2:00 p.m. Director's Cut to be released. This will be July, 2018, production data. Lynn Helms said there will be a production surge in North Dakota this autumn. Why? Sixteen reasons:

• DUCs
• flaring issue resolved
• pent-up cash-flow demand
• operators sprucing up their end-of-year earnings
• Permian-Bakken balance
• pad drilling
• seed corn coming in
• through 2016, wells were being completed one at a time
• after 2016, "families" of wells were being completed at the same time
• re-fracks; impact of neighboring fracks
• after the downturn, new operators hitting their stride
• legacy operators getting back in
• optimized completion strategies
• beautiful weather to drill, frack
• no issues with takeaway
• WTI hit $7
