Wouldn't that be interesting? Trump exits Iraq?
Saudi Arabia: uh-oh.
In flux: now (2:47 p.m. CT) Pentagon spokesman unable to confirm authenticity of letter said to "prepare troops to move out."
Letter: photocopy of letter at Drudge -- it does look like a forgery based on the content. [Later: apparently not a forgery, but now we're told that the "letter was a mistake." LOL. If the letter was authentic, that one-star general may be in a lot of hot water. LOL. A BG spelling out exactly the tactical plan, not particularly smart.]
Later:
SecDef: says, "no decision made." -- 3:19 p.m. CT.
The obvious question: who's in charge? This is beginning to sound like the Dallas Cowboys -- wondering who the real coach was?
Pentagon is sending six B-52s to Diego Garcia.

Lodgepole revisited. Many years ago this test well, which was underwhelming was drilled by marathon back when their completions were very ineffective. The landing zone is around 50 ft above the bakken.
Key details of the well, around 4000 feet of bore and only some landed in target zone. fracked twice. Had mid 2000 barrel initial productions with almost instant fast declines afterward.
MY thoughts are, if this area was done in zone with two miles and fracked with the modern methods this could be a very probable area for future first tier growth.
I don't think in the present pricing environment this would get tested but it does speak well for future long term growth within present infrastructure areas.
Hope all is well.

Thank you. I may bring this discussion up to the main body of the blog for easier access. Yes, the operator/geologist was quite excited about this well (prior to completion), and as you noted, a small frack -- open hole, slightly less than one million lbs of sand.
DeleteThree other Bakken wells were drilled in this area (two-mile long laterals) and were mediocre at best, but again, they were fracked with about one to two million lbs of sand and 20 - 30 stages.
My hunch: I agree with you. "They" will eventually get back to this area and get much better results with modern completion strategies.
