Maria Energy Has Reached Its Destination; Sophia's Second Day On The Slopes -- December 30, 2018

Mission complete: Maria Energy has reached its destination, GR REV. See the original post here.

Notes to the Granddaughters

I'm not sure if this will make sense to everyone but the graphic below is of the ski runs Sophia, age four, accomplished on her second day of skiing. This was the second of two days of ski lessons. On the third day, she went skiing with the family and completed a "green" run completely on her own, and half of a "blue" run until she had to be "rescued" by her dad for the last half.

The ski school at Angel Fire puts a the very same tracking device on each of the pre-schoolers that scientists use to track penguins in the Antarctic.

Here is the summary of Sophia's second day of ski runs:


How About 100,000 Bbls Crude Oil In One Month; Or Almost 120K BOE In One Month? -- December 30, 2018

This page will not be updated.

For newbies: look at these incredible IPs.

100K x $40/bbl at the wellhead = $4 million. The wells cost somewhere between $6 million and $8 million these days. 

The wells:

Boston Importing LNG From Russia; Pocahontas Seems Oblivious -- December 30, 2018

From a reader:
The Belgian LNG ship 'Exemplar' is currently laying off the Massachusetts coast awaiting to offload a shipment of LNG that originated from Yamal and was lifted at a French port.

Crazy and expensive way to keep the lights on in Boston!
We're still vacationing in northeastern New Mexico. It makes it difficult to blog and, worse, the demons return, questioning why I continue to blog. If I continue to blog (and I will) it is because of the notes I receive from readers like the one above. 
 
Going into the new year, I have three choices:
  1. discontinue blogging; I've achieved my original objective
  2. continue to blog, but a different format, different method
  3. no changes, or minimal changes
The first choice is off the board. I will not quit blogging about the Bakken. 
 
I'm leaning strongly toward the second, but my hunch is that no one will notice. The one "constant" will be the Bakken data:
  • the daily activity report
  • the monthly NDIC hearing dockets
To keep the Bakken data in perspective, the other "constants" will include:
  • the EIA's weekly petroleum report
  • the RBN Energy daily blog
After that, I'm not sure where I will go with the blog.

New Links

There are two new links, from the same source, the EIA. The Year in Review. 
I always find it interesting how things turn out. 
 
Last night I was reviewing the "average price of electricity" in the US and noted that electricity in North Dakota costs almost exactly half what it costs in Boston. Residential, numbers rounded/KWh:
  • North Dakota:  10 cents
  • Boston: 20 cents
What an incredibly unfair regressive tax leveled on the poor and the middle class. If one lives in North Dakota, and your monthly electricity bill is $150, all things being equal one would pay $300 in Boston. 

There's a glut of natural gas in the US. North Dakota, and I assume Texas, is flaring record amounts of natural gas. There's no "national" sense of urgency to help the middle class when it comes to energy. Ayn Rand's heroes could solve the problem overnight but the faux environmentalists and Deep State do what they can to slow things down. 

Be that as it may. Look at the costs of electricity across the US at the link above. 

Most interesting data point: in the Pacific Northwest where electricity should be practically "free" due to all hydroelectric power, it's about the same as in North Dakota:
  • Oregon: 11 cents (higher than North Dakota)
  • Washington State: 10 cents (slightly lower than North Dakota)
California, lumped with Oregon and Washington by the EIA, almost double North Dakota at 18 cents.

Texas, where electricity costs are going up due to "renewable energy" initiatives still hangs in there at 11 cents. There's a lot of "competition" to keep electric prices down in Texas, but the 'renewable energy" scam is a huge threat.
