I saw this the other night, the premier showing, though re-televised about a week later
premiered on TCM: Friday, November 19, 2021
the documentary is "must-watch TV"
Truly amazing the "new" and original content on Hulu, Disney+, HBO, Netflix. Apple TV, Roku. Truly amazing. We "subscribe" to Hulu; our older daughter and Sophia subscribe to Disney+ and Netflix, but it looks like Disney+ -- in a heap of trouble -- is going to "bundle" this with Hulu for a ridiculously low price. I wouldn't care except that I'm eager to see "Loki" on Disney+.

Coming off line for a reason? The well:
24981, 2,559, BR, CCU Four Aces 44-21TFH, Corral Creek, t11/13; cum 235K 9/19; cum 260K 92/1;
November 27, 2021: see comments. A reader cites a source saying these wells were re-fracked. I assumed they were; when the "jump" is this huge, it's "always" due to a re-frack.
Original Post
Alkali Creek is well known for wells with "halo effect," but this is unusual for Hess, reporting wells with "halo effect."
This well, huge increase in production:

Wow, they're reading the blog ... but we've been talking about this for years. Over at Fox Business:
On a Friday holiday, I assume in New England, where few actually showed up at work and all universities are closed for the Thanksgiving break, electricity prices are in the 5th decile in Maine (which I seldom see at the high end compared to Massachusetts), New Hampshire ("first to vote in the nation"), eastern Massachusetts (to include Boston). And it's not even winter yet, and as noted it's pretty much a holiday.
Decile: scale of ten.
1 - 4: least expensive
5: not cheap
6: expensive
7-9: really expensive
10: Armageddon
I suppose all the malls have all their lights on and cash registers "on."
Reported a couple of weeks ago: New England will be increasing their imports of crude oil from Russia this year.
Back to the article:
BANGOR, Maine – Mainers, who heavily rely on home heating oil to survive the winter, told Fox News they're already being forced to make difficult decisions due to inflation.
"We nudge our thermostat down lower and lower
during the day, trying to save some money there," 63-year-old Cindy
Lavertu, of Bangor, said. "I've never worried before. I've never worried
about getting supplies like right now. I've never stocked up before.
"I just know that I did not have these types of problems before President Biden took office," Lavertu continued. "I didn't have these concerns. I [attribute] it 100% to Washington, D.C."
Last week, the average cost of heating oil in Maine was $3.16 per gallon, up from $1.90 a
year ago, according to the governor's office. The Energy Information
Administration forecasts it will increase to almost $3.50 by next year.
Two thoughts come to mind:
banning all those pipelines; and,
voting for Biden was an open-book test.
******************************* US Grant
Incredibly coincidental.
One of the few things about which I should know so much, I know so little: the US Civil War. I cannot explain it. I assume I had US History I in eighth grade and US History II in my junior year of high school, but I absolutely don't remember either course, or the instructors. Nothing. Nada.
In eighth grade, I had the most wonderful literature teacher and I was probably more interested in literature than history. Of course, science and math were much more interesting.
In eleventh grade, my favorite (and as far as I was concerned, my only) subject was chemistry. I assume I was taking algebra II but I don't recall. But I certainly had no interest in history.
A few years ago, I suddenly had the urge to study the US Civil War after "discovering" US Grant's memoirs.
And that's what I'm working on today in the "bat cave."
It's a coincidence because of this. I subscribe to only one hard copy of anything: The Claremont Review of Books. The essays on politics completely bore me but the book reviews are wonderful. The most recent issue that I received the day before Thanksgiving: "On and Off the Pedestal," Victor Davis Hanson, subscription required.
More on the essay elsewhere.
However, a new legal term for me from the essay: nolle prosequi.
To dismiss, as in: "With the Big 3 giving in to the UAW on the matter of vaccinations, it's long beyond time to for Bandon to offer a nolle prosequi of his executive mandate.
Not quite perfect, but it will help me remember the phrase and the definition.
Used in a sentence, "Based on overwhelming division this has caused the nation. the administration nol prosses the vaccine mandate." Link here. Also nol-pros. Link here.
***************************** Brothers
Strolling around the house, hand-in-hand, the day after Thanksgiving:
It's a perfect cocktail: extreme fears about the new covid variant in one of the lowest liquidity days of the year, plus Brent breaking below key support (100-moving day average) and lots of negative gamma kicking in. And you have a flash crash.
The media & politicians have done such a good job instilling fear in everyone that markets are ignoring the fact that Merck & Pfizer both have highly effective antivirals available now. Major cap-ex investments will be further delayed setting up higher prices next year & beyond.
This is like announcing a new pneumococcal bacterium and forgetting we have penicillin. LOL.
EOG Resources plans its first move into Australia following acquisition of Western Australian Bonaparte Gulf permit WA-488-P containing the Beehive prospect from Melbana Energy. Direct to article.
This pretty much says it all, from Bismarck Tribune:
a light day of testing on Thanksgiving led to only 174 new Covid-19 cases being confirmed in North Dakota, down from an average of 619 the previous three days. I don't think the writers / editor caught the irony. LOL. Link here.
And finally:
What agency is warning folks about the new variant? WHO.
What country controls WHO? China.
What country is facing a huge energy crisis. Let's change that. What country was facing a huge energy crisis? LOL.
Connecting the dots: European governments losing control of the narrative last week with regard to Covid. Mass riots across the continent. What the governments needed was a "Nu" variant. LOL.
This, too, will pass. That SPR release came just in time. OPEC won't be raising production when they meet next week with oil crashing.
Investors: those with a long term horizon ..... say, thirty days ... will do just fine.
These are troubled times, as the song says, caught between confusion and
pain. Following the COVID trauma of 2020, oil, gas, and NGL markets are
now coping with uncertainty of medium- and long-term prospects in light
of energy transition rhetoric. Will we continue to see sufficient
investment in the hydrocarbon-based supplies that the world needs today,
or will resources be increasingly diverted toward renewable energy
technologies and wider ESG goals? Finding a way to satisfy the global
appetite and fuel continued recovery while planning for the future was a
core theme for RBN’s Fall 2021 School of Energy: Hydrocarbon Markets in
a Decarbonizing World. In today’s advertorial RBN blog, we lay out some
key findings and highlights from this fall’s virtual conference.
Daily activity report, end-of-day report: the only information -- five permits renewed:
BR (4): two Tilton permits, one Lloyd Christmas permit, and one Scottvale permit, all in Dunn County;
Slawson: a Challenger Federal permit in Mountrail County;
