Two New Permits; CLR Is Really Active In The Brooklyn Oil Field -- October 15, 2018; North Dakota Back To 69 Active Rigs Going Into The Fall

India: won't hit its 2022 renewable energy target. I'm shocked! Shocked! Will Algore demand sanctions on India?


Sad, really, really sad: Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen dead at age 65.

Cherokee nation: Elizabeth Warren has opened a can of worms. We're all Native Americans if her DNA is accurate and the date is correct. At best, she is 1,024th part Cherokee, which is slightly less than what the average European-American is. Very, very interesting. And no, I'm not posting the Cher video again. The Atlantic, January 26, 2015. Genetic testing and Native Americans is a huge story. Probably bigger than the Bakken.

Marijuana: CNBC talking head says polls suggest North Dakota could be next state to approve legalization of marijuana.

WTI: have we seen the recent bottom? WTI's floor of $70 held; it seems the Saudi Khashoggi affair could affect price of oil either way (up/down); it seems like there are more factors likely to drive the price of WTI up rather than down; 

Two new permits:
  • Operator: CLR
  • Field: Brooklyn (Williams)
  • Comments: wow, CLR is really active in the Brooklyn oil field; coincidentally, I updated many of the wells in Brooklyn oil field earlier this afternoon; Brooklyn oil field is tracked here; I've always considered Brooklyn oil field a mediocre (at best) oil field in the Bakken, but CLR seems to really testing this field. We're going to see a lot of effect on older wells when newer wells are drilled. See graphic of field below and at the link.
Seventeen permits renewed:
CLR (9): three Bliss permits and three Elveida permits permits (all six in Divide County); one Cuskelly permit in Dunn County; two Boulder Federal permits in McKenzie County
