The Bakken never ceases to amaze me. These wells are only five years old. They will produce for 35 years. They are already showing huge jumps in production. Production jumped 10-fold between 7/18 and 11/18.
Instructions on the back of the Bakken shampoo bottle: drill, frack, install pump; re-work; mini-re-frack; frack neighboring wells; major re-frack; repeat.
25304,2,257, QEP, Paul 2-26035TH, the Helis Grail, t12/13; cum 351K 3/19;
FracFocus says this well was re-fracked 2/12/2018 - 2/26/2018; a relatively moderate re-frack with 6.6 million gallons of water; a neighboring middle Bakken well (#25861) might have shown a very short-lived jump in production;
For newbies: operators are now going back and re-fracking older Bakken wells using relatively moderate amounts of water/proppant. This well was only five years old. Lots and lots of work left to do in the Bakken.
I could watch this all night. I watch this one with the audio on MUTE. If you want to see the entire clip, at YouTube , search: soldier surprise son taekwondo:
I had never heard this song (below) until this evening. Don't ask me how I came across it. The video is pretty cheesy, and the song is just as cheesy , but if one is in the right mindset, this will bring tears to your eyes. It did for me. Our son-in-law served fifteen years in the US Navy, a submariner.
Sailor, Petula Clark
Interestingly, I would prefer listening to this than Petula Clark's Downtown.
After midnight I start with a random song on YouTube.com which leads me
to another and then another. Later, sometimes hours later, I end up
somewhere not knowing how I got there. Often I am in a fugue state. I am
sure I am not alone.

Copeland's Famous New Orleans Restaurant, Southlake, TX
I cannot say enough about the hospitality shown by this restaurant today. The food was incredible.
But what made it memorable: our hostess, Amber, and our server, Brad.
The tip: slightly less than 50% of the fare.

The Book Page
Following comments received regarding the "military-themed" videos above, I posted the following from the book I was reading at the time, The Comanche Code Talkers Of World War II, William C. Meadows, c. 2002. I forget the specifics, but I believe Meadows (the author) says he spoke to each and everyone of the Comanche code talker except one who had passed away.
In pre-reservation times, the Comanches are better viewed as a
number of linguistically and culturally related tribes [generally
described as divisions], as they never comprised a single political or
geographically centralized entity until after their entrance onto a
reservation.
After more than 150 years of warfare,
competition with numerous other tribes and Anglo nations, and disease,
the last remaining autonomous bands of Comanches were forced onto the
collective Kiowa, Comanche, and Apache Reservation in Southwestern
Oklahoma in 1875.
What followed were decades of status
as governmental wards, forced reduction of their lands, inadequate food,
mandatory boarding schools, denial of citizenship and civil rights,
continual broken treaties and legal agreements, forced allotment of
their remaining lands, and a Anglo-based assimilationist war against
their culture, religion, and language.
Sixty-five years
later the United States Army came seeking the aid of the Comanches and
their language in preparation for World War II. The Comanches had
numerous reasons to resent the Taiboo' [Anglos]. But in spite of all the
past experiences and the often paternalist treatment of the Comanches
by the government, when the call of duty came, they, like other Native
American populations patriotically joined in the defense of America.
Prior
to their recruitment, the Comanches had no idea of the ultimately
unique role that they and their language would play in the outcome of
the war, There was no way they could have known that they would be
selected to carry out highly specialized communications service that
would be unique in the European campaign. The Comanches represent a
population whose loyalty to their people and the American country was
unswerving in its devotion, and they were unhesitant in their decision
to make the necessary sacrifices called for in the Second World War. --
p. xii.
One needs to be reminded that not all Americans thought we needed to be involved in a European war (Lindbergh comes to mind; he was pro-Nazi Germany and against the US going to war with Germany). And with regard to the Pacific theater, there were Americans against going to war.
