Breaking News: 16-Year-Old Granddaughter Passes Her Driver's License Test -- July 3, 2020

Governor Abbot of Texas declares state holiday to continue through tomorrow and the city of Grapevine, TX, has scheduled fireworks for tomorrow to celebrate Arianna's big day.

At least that's what I'm telling Sophia. LOL.

And, yes, she successfully completed the parallel parking portion of the exam.

Clearing Out The In-Box For The Archives -- July 3, 2020

Re-posting one of the best job reports ever:
Report: US employers added almost 5 million jobs in June, 2020. That's more job creation than any president in history. Five million jobs added in one month. President Trump able to claim all-time new employment records. LOL. It's amazing how bandanas were the answer. If we had only known.

Jobs report, link here:
  • prior: 1.480 million
  • revised: 1.482 million (note the fake precision)
  • consensus: 1.400 million
  • actual: 1.427 million
Market response: Dow surges; up over 400 points in pre-market trading
Bad timing: Rachel Maddow predicted the June jobs report to be "absolutely terrible"; link here: https://www.foxnews.com/media/msnbcs-rachel-maddow-predicted-that-junes-jobs-report-would-be-absolutely-terrible.

Flashback: Saudi Arabia's PIF and Vision 2030 --
Pandemic:
  • the protests of two to four weeks ago did not contribute to the surge of cases now being reported; link here;  
Farm report:
  • USDA crop report shocker sends corn futures surging. Link here.  
Chicago corn futures surged 8% in the last two sessions after a massive reduction to the U.S. government's acreage estimate, reported Reuters. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's crop report on Tuesday showed farmers planted 92 million acres of corn in 1H20, which was a huge miss in expectations and 5 million acres below the USDA's March forecast of 97 million acres. 
This was the largest miss in a March-to-June corn acreage crop report since 1983 resulting in an 8% surge in corn futures trading in Chicago. 
[Comment: we certainly know how accurate government estimates are these days.]
Economy, global, Japan: assets in world's largest pension fund plummet --
The world’s biggest pension fund posted a record loss in the first three months of 2020 after the coronavirus pandemic sparked a global market rout in the period.
Japan’s Government Pension Investment Fund lost 11%, or 17.7 trillion yen ($164.7 billion), in the three months ended March, it said in Tokyo on Friday. The decline in value was the steepest based on comparable data back to April 2008, reducing the fund’s total assets to 150.63 trillion yen. Foreign stocks were the worst performing investment, followed by domestic equities.
True patriot, TDS: more concerned about President Trump than the country. Link here. I doubt Trump is having any nightmares.

A Lousy First Generation Encore Well Shows 15-Fold Jump In Production -- July 3, 2020

With things so slow in the Bakken it's hard to find much to report.

The Squaw Creek wells are tracked her but this post has not been updated in a long, long time. 

This well is of some interest:
  • 18766, 1,392, XTO/Denbury/Encore, Fettig 24-22H, Squaw Creek, t11/10; cum 101K 5/20; FracFocus shows no frack data; jump in production following fracking of WPX wells; to the best of my knowledge, no recent significant work on this well to account for jump in production;

Wells That I No Longer Track -- Page 15

For first fourteen pages in this series, see this link; scroll to bottom of that page.

I no longer track these wells as wells that need to be followed up:

May 24, 2020: #20122; Skogstad; coming back on line after neighboring wells fracked; only 3K bbls first 30 days, 4/20;

November 26, 2019: #20711; #18766; #20995; see Fettig (#18766) here; 

December 16, 2019: #20651; remains off line 11/19; appears to be back on line 12/19; nice well;

December 28, 2019: #22520; two wells on same pad are new and yet to be fracked; remains off line 11/19; back on line 1/20; nice well;

December 28, 2019: #19973; wells to the east and to the west have been recently fracked. Remains off line, 11/19; back on line 3/20; no jump in production first month back on line;

March 5, 2020: #21971, neighboring Kraken wells recently fracked. Small jump in production; not worth posting.
 
March 22, 2020: two of these incredibly awful XTO FBIR Blackmedicine wells were taken off line late 2019. Link here. #20600. 
 
May 8, 2020: #20122; MRO, Reunion Bay; lots of fracking in the area, see this note;
  • 20122, has been off line; just coming back into production, 3/20;
  • 19833, has been off line; just coming back into production, 3/20;
  • 19834, has been off line; just coming back into production, 3/20, see this note;
April 27, 2020: 18245, 27022, off line 12/19; remains off line 4/20; lots of fracking nearby; 27022 back on line 5/20;
 


April 4, 2020: #20917, off line; surrounded by many wells being fracked; off line 10/19; remains off line 4/20; see this note;

September 29, 2019: #19693 -- 4,000 bbls on one day for several months. Danks. (Posted below, also.) At 2,000 bbls/month over one day each month, 11/19. Consistently 2,000 bbls/monthfor quite some time.

August 20, 2019: #20839; IA, 11/19; remains off line 2/20; back on line 3/20; unremarkable. 

September 11, 2016: check on production profile #21733 when the following four wells are fracked: #32412 - #32415, inclusive. And here. #21733 went off line 12/19; remains off line 3/20. #32412 is now SI/NC, 3/20. I assume the same for the others.

April 11, 2016: two Anschutz wells, now Lime Rock Resources wells, were never fracked; now Lime Rock Resources has two new locations on the same pad; it will be interesting to see if they frack these wells. As of 8/18, the two new wells were still LOC; #18644 was updated. Not much change as of 6/17.
  • 30467, loc, Lime Rock Resources, State 4-25-36H-144-97, API: 33-025-02818, Cabernet,
  • 30468, loc, Lime Rock Resources, Kary 6-24-13H-144-97, API: 33-025-02819, Cabernet,
November 26, 2015: Oasis requested permission to drill 21 wells on a 640-acre unit (one section); currently has 12 horizontals in that section. Curious if any halo effect but most recent wells drilled to depth but now fracked (SI/NC). No new data as of 8/18; production data updated, nothing remarkable, 8/18;

From The Daily Activity Report
July 2, 2020

Fifteen new permits, #36578 - #37692, inclusive:
  • Operator: XTO
  • Field: Hofflund (Williams County)
  • Comments:  
    • I believe the daily activity report is incorrect
      • the DAR says these wells are sited in section 13-154-96; if so, they are being sited under water
      • in addition, the legal description for #37685 is incorrect; the scout ticket is correct;
    • it's much more likely these wells will be sited in section 13-154-95
    • XTO has permits for fifteen wells in section 13-154-96  (sic) -- see comments above
    • Hofflund Bakken Unit (HBU)
      • fourteen of them are Hofflund Bakken unit wells; one had the same "family" name, but not preceded by the HBU designation; it was in the Alkali Creek oil field;
      • one long single row of pads, running almost due north/south, but slightly SW to NE, very slightly off the N/S line
      • running from the SESW quadrant to the NESW quadrant
      • they are already on confidential list but based on several parameters, it's my hunch they will all run south into section 24
      • thirteen will be 1280-acre spacing
      • two will be 2560-acre unit line wells
      • it looks like: a mix of middle Bakken well and Three Forks wells
