A reader alerted me to the release with these comments, edited slightly:
- big rebound from the February, 2021, freeze. As expected. the only people surprised were the peak oilers, who confounded the freeze with real decline. Production at low 11 MM bopd.
- New Mexico is now producing more than North Dakota.
- need to go kick your Bakken boys in the butt. No rest for the wicked. Get that rig count up!
- Texas was up almost a million bopd. Duh. But still...fun to kick the peak oilers with that rebound.
- GOM at 1.9 million bopd. More salt in the peak oiler wounds.
- there was a also a huge rebound in natural gas, following the freeze, or should we say, following the thaw? Not big long term increase. Still...irks the peak oilers.
The only thing missing is M. King Hubbert's name. LOL.
For me the most interesting story coming out of the Bakken right now -- and really not having anything to do with the most recent "914" is the number of EOG permits announced by the NDIC this past week. It's possible EOG is not the only operator that owns minerals in this area, and there was pressure by other operators, "if EOG isn't going to drill this area, we will."

The Literature Page
Joshua Slocum, b. February 20, 1844 – d. on or shortly after November 14, 1909:
- the first person to sail single-handedly around the world
- a Nova Scotian-born, naturalised American seaman and adventurer, and
- a noted writer
- in 1900 he wrote a book about his journey, Sailing Alone Around the World, which became an international best-seller; on line;
- he disappeared in November 1909 while aboard his boat, the Spray, annual sail from NY/Boston to Cayman Islands
The voyage:
- departed, April 24, 1895
- returned three years later, 1898, during the first year of the Spanish-American War
Amazon: it's funny how things work out. I have read closely the first few chapters of Sailing Alone Around The World and quickly read through the rest of the book.
The book is so full of sailing jargon I wondered if an annotated version existed. And there it was -- an annotated version. And, of all things, it was just published March 6, 2021 -- brand new. And at $10 it was "free" with the points I have accumulated on the Amazon credit card.
The book, ordered today, Friday, May 28, will arrive Sunday, May 30, on a three-day Memorial Day weekend. I don't like orders to arrive on a Sunday or a holiday, so I asked Amazon to deliver the book on Tuesday, June 1, which they said they will do. What a great operation.
