Here We Go Again -- If We Didn't Have CLR, Would We Even Be Talking About The Bakken? January 29, 2022

Isn't it a hoot that a US federal judge vacated the largest -- repeat, the largest ever -- GoM federal lease? Whoo-hoo! Makes all this on-shore stuff that much more exciting. LOL.

As someone noted, that US federal judge assumes crude oil is "just there," like homogenized milk in your local grocery story. 

And here we go, another CLR well. Full production here.

The well:

• 33027, 2,880, CLR, Hereford Federal 12-17H2, Elm Tree, t9/19; cum 317K 11/21;

So, a well less than three years old and now this, look at this jump in production:
