The permits/wells on that 9-well pad, sited west to east, with four horizontals appearing to run north, and four horizontals running south; it appears a horizontal is yet to be drilled for #40231, but I could be wrong:

• 17509, runs south (definite), conf, MRO, Nanette Strommen 41-13H, Killdeer,
• 2023: being re-entered to run sidtrack #2 --huge jump in production, from 500 bopm to 34,000 bopm; cum 412K 6/26; this well was first drilled in February, 2009;

World Of Pain At The Open For AI Stocks? Oil Up; CVX, PSX, COP All Up -- August 18, 2026

Locator: 51443INVESTING.

WTI: In the last few minutes both WTI and Brent have gone over a new threshold -- $85 for WTI and $91 for Brent.

CVX: finished up $2.67 yesterday and in pre-market trading today, is up $1.80, trading at $204.50; the 52-week high for CVX is $214.71, so we have a bit of room to run. Whoo-hoo.  

Bombing Iran? His handlers now say that President Trump was only trying to get Oman's attention. He would never really bomb Oman, would he?

Now we know: Andrew Ross Sorkin (CNBC) uses an Apple MacBook Pro. 

Some folks may not want to watch the market today. It could be a doozy at the open. We'll get to that later.

At CNBC ... everybody now has multiple screens ... the guest has two screens; Becky Quick has two screens; and, Andrew Ross Sorkin has ... three screens. 

According to one chatbot: Andrew Ross Sorkin's exact on-air laptop setup on CNBC's Squawk Box is not officially confirmed as a matching trio of any single brand, though he has historically used an Apple MacBook Pro for his personal reporting and writing work with The New York Times DealBook. For serious investors (that does not include me) one might want to query a) what is the New York Times Dealbook; and, b) can anyone purchase the Dealbook? A short snippet:

The DealBook Morning Newsletter: Anyone can sign up for the flagship weekday briefing free of charge via the NYT Newsletter Directory. 

It delivers the core economic and market breakdowns straight to your inbox before the market opens. To read the full-length, unrestricted articles on the web or via the app at the NYT DealBook Section, you will eventually hit the standard paywall. This requires a standard New York Times Digital Subscription. Which I have, surprisingly enough. A Christmas present for my wife.  

Chatbot Genies for CNBC "Squawk Box" -- it looks really, really cheesy ... if you grew up with graphic novels, comic books, and haven't read a "real" book in ages, you may enjoy the new format. 

Having said that, this is truly amazing. Becky Quick was "out" last week ... and before coming back on the air this week, she had her AI avatar review every "Squawk Box" episode from last week and then had her avatar summarize the top business news for the past week. She could probably be brought up to date while Becky was getting "made up." It was pretty impressive. Oh, by the way ... this was being on an Apple laptop. I do have to admit, I was captivated by the whole segment. Yeah, it may go somewhere ... the avatar actually seemed more believable, more knowledgeable than Becky Quick herself. This was the longest segment I have ever seen on "Squawk Box."
