Focus on fracking: posted a couple of nights ago, but I delayed posting due to decreased readership over Memorial Day weekend.
- well completions fell 34% in April
- Saudi's biggest nightmare: US shale with almost a year's worth of DUC backlog
- by the way, I've mentioned that numerous times with regard to the Bakken: the number of inactive wells and DUCs easily exceeds a year's worth of drilling; in fact, at around 900 DUCs, the Bakken has more DUCs than wells that will be completed this year

A Sophia Story
After all the recent rains, there has been a huge return of mallard ducks in the area, and as everyone knows, they always show up in pairs.
On the way to school this morning I pointed out a pair of mallard ducks to Sophia. She loved seeing another pair, but then asked, what are mallard ducks?
I talked about mallard ducks for a bit, explaining the difference in their coloring that makes them so distinctive. The following is almost verbatim.
She then asked, "Oh, tell me again, is female the daddy?"
I told her "female was the mommy, and..." and so on and so on.
She replied: "Oh, that's right, I knew that. But that was before corona. I've forgotten everything. I will have to learn it all again when Ms Simone comes back."
Ms Simone is her teacher at Tutor Time who has taught her everything. I'm simply the Uber-driver.
LOL.
