Some IPs Have Been Updated At Murphy Creek Field
Some IPs have been updated for the Murphy Creek field; not much new or exciting, but I hate to spend all that time doing something unimportant and not letting folks know.
Simon Butte Oil field
This well is the first well I noted from Simon Butte:
Take a look at #13224 and #13276 below. The former had almost one million bbls from the Silurian, and another 85,000 from the Madison.
There are currently four OXY USA long lateral wells in this field, and about five vertical/short directional wells (some plugged; some active):
- 20092, 155 (no typo), OXY USA, Gordon Pavlicek 1-17-20H-141-95, Three Forks, Simon Butte, Dunn County; s7/11; t10/11; F; cum 8K 2/12; 39 stages; 1 million pounds sand;

Of the five wells approved for confidential status, four were Whiting's, and Whiting reports a "plugged or producing" well:

- OXY USA continues to impress.
- I'll check later, but if these are not the first BR permits in Corral Creek under the new scheme announced December 21, 2011, they are some of the first. [I just checked: yes, these are the first permits for this field in 2012.]
- That's another nice Helis well; it looks like they've cracked the code in the Bakken.
The European Commission Delays Implementation of Directive That Would Penalize Alberta Oil Sands
Link here.
And then note this:
The Canadian government welcomed a decision by the European Commission to delay for further study an emissions-abatement measure that would penalize transportation fuels originating in the oil sands region of Alberta.The directive will be delayed until early 2013, pending "further study."
And then note this:
"...studies have shown “life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions of oil sands crude are similar to or in some cases lower than several crude oils currently imported an used daily in the EU.”"Several crude oils" such as Saudi oil, I'm sure.

American Pie, Don McLean
Folks would probably enjoy the studio recording better, but I prefer a bit more video.
"American Pie" was released in November, 1971. I remember listening to it over and over on a road trip from South Dakota, where I was going to college, to San Francisco, California, where I would study for one month with a chemistry professor on sabbatical. My colleague was Warren T---, of Chinese background, who taught me to use chopsticks. It's possible I knew how to use chopsticks before then, but I don't recall. The professor and his family, Warren, and I shared many wonderful dinners in Chinatown.
The trip to San Francisco that year was one of the many coming-of-age stories I experienced over a ten-year period. I don't recall the car in which I drove out to California, but I vividly remember the time I walked out to a eucalyptus-lined parking lot, got in, turned on the radio and "American Pie" was playing. I do not remember any other songs from this trip. Obviously "American Pie" pushed out all the neurons/molecules that had any connection of other songs from that period.
It was my second trip to California; this trip to University of California-Santa Cruz. The campus was/is one of the most beautiful campuses in the world, and the university, one of the most unique in the world. This was also the trip I remember picking up a most memorable girlfriend/boyfriend hitchhiker duo, to drop him off where he could catch a better ride in a different direction, and then drop her off at another location. I remember her "name": "California Blue"; I don't remember his. I hitchhiked on a regular basis -- including three cross-country hitchhiking trips -- during my college years, so I had a soft spot in my heart for hitchhikers. What a great period in life, when hitchhiking was still safe, and considered a reasonable way to travel, though "it" was on its last legs (no pun intended).
My first trip to California was a couple years earlier, during my freshman year at college. Six of us in a large sedan drove out to San Diego. I saw my first stage play during that trip: "Hair," playing in Los Angeles. Of course, I did not "know" her at the time but Jennifer Warnes had a leading role in the Los Angeles "Hair" cast. Wow, this brings back some great memories. Jennifer Warnes has crossed my radar scope numerous times over the past forty years. [On another blog, I had a very, very long post on Jennifer Warnes, connecting a lot of dots, some of which not previously connected, but I think I deleted that post when I deleted the blog.]
From wiki:
Nearly $12 miillon in federal funding has been allocated to repair and upgrade the levee that separates Williston and Missouri River." ... took the Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry ...."
The Omaha District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers awarded an $11.7 million contract on Friday for repair of the levee and access roads on the south side of Williston.

From wiki:
Between 1979 and 1987, Warnes surpassed Frank Sinatra as the vocalist performing the most songs to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song (four times) and to win an Academy Award for Best Original Song (three times). Her biggest hits include "Up Where We Belong" (a duet with Joe Cocker from the 1982 film, An Officer and a Gentleman) and "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" (a duet with Bill Medley from the 1987 film, Dirty Dancing).
