Tuesday, January 6, 2015; QEP Has Another Huge Well In The Grail

Still traveling; minimal blogging.

I believe I read recently that any day now, warmists will be releasing data suggesting that 2014 was the warmest year on record. And now I'm watching some of the coldest weather ever in Chicago, and going east to Washington, DC. I guess it depends where you put your thermometers.

I've updated the wells coming off confidential list today. QEP in the Grail has another huge well. Also, RBN Energy's top five prognostications for 2015 also posted.

Chevron announces a significant oil discovery at the Anchor prospect in the deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico : Co announces a significant oil discovery at the Anchor prospect in the deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Anchor is CVX's second discovery in the deepwater Gulf in less than a year.

• The Green Canyon Block 807 Well No. 2 encountered oil pay in multiple Lower Tertiary Wilcox Sands. The well, which was spudded in Aug. 2014, is located approximately 140 miles off the coast of Louisiana in 5,183 feet of water and was drilled to a depth of 33,749 feet.
• Appraisal drilling will begin in 2015.
• CVX subsidiary Chevron U.S.A. is the operator, with a 55 percent working interest in the Anchor prospect. Anchor co-owners are Cobalt International Energy, Inc. (20 percent), Samson Offshore Anchor (12.5 percent); and Venari Resources (12.5 percent).

Crescent Point Energy announces a $1.45 bln capital expenditures budget for 2015 : Co announces a $1.45 bln capital expenditures budget for 2015. The capital expenditures budget is expected to generate average daily production of 152,500 boe/d, a 9% increase over 2014 guidance. With benchmark oil price volatility currently at elevated levels, Crescent Point's 2015 budget assumptions are conservative and disciplined. "When oil prices rebound, the Company expects that it will increase capital spending."

New England folks shocked by high utility rates this winter.

Oil falls again; stock market plunges 331 points. 

New reality television show to film in Williston. From The Bismarck Tribune:

Filling rooms hasn’t been hard for the Missouri Flats Inn in Williston since oil production started booming in the western part of the state. 

Just as the area’s black gold drew many new workers to the area, it also garnered attention for the inn from the Travel Channel’s “Hotel Impossible.”

The small hotel’s makeover will be featured on the show this evening.

The premise of the show is to make over struggling hotels across the country. Host Anthoney Melchiorri implements staff retraining and building renovations to make the hotels more competitive.

Nicole Ross, Missouri Flats’ general manager, said she had sent an email to the show hoping to get its help on a hotel the company owns in Oregon.
After the show’s organizers found out about the hotel in Williston and the area’s booming economy, they asked to do the show there.

Chickens Coming Home To Roost
We Won't Know What's In It Until It's Passed

This is quite an incredible story. The New York Times reporting on Harvard's reaction to ObamaCare. As I've said for the past couple of years, we would see the full impact of ObamaCare starting in 2015:

For years, Harvard’s experts on health economics and policy have advised presidents and Congress on how to provide health benefits to the nation at a reasonable cost. But those remedies will now be applied to the Harvard faculty, and the professors are in an uproar.

Members of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the heart of the 378-year-old university, voted overwhelmingly in November to oppose changes that would require them and thousands of other Harvard employees to pay more for health care. The university says the increases are in part a result of the Obama administration’s Affordable Care Act, which many Harvard professors championed.

The faculty vote came too late to stop the cost increases from taking effect this month, and the anger on campus remains focused on questions that are agitating many workplaces: How should the burden of health costs be shared by employers and employees? If employees have to bear more of the cost, will they skimp on medically necessary care, curtail the use of less valuable services, or both?

“Harvard is a microcosm of what’s happening in health care in the country,” said David M. Cutler, a health economist at the university who was an adviser to President Obama’s 2008 campaign. But only up to a point: Professors at Harvard have until now generally avoided the higher expenses that other employers have been passing on to employees. That makes the outrage among the faculty remarkable, Mr. Cutler said, because “Harvard was and remains a very generous employer.”

In Harvard’s health care enrollment guide for 2015, the university said it “must respond to the national trend of rising health care costs, including some driven by health care reform,” in the form of the Affordable Care Act. The guide said that Harvard faced “added costs” because of provisions in the health care law that extend coverage for children up to age 26, offer free preventive services like mammograms and colonoscopies and, starting in 2018, add a tax on high-cost insurance, known as the Cadillac tax.

Richard F. Thomas, a Harvard professor of classics and one of the world’s leading authorities on Virgil, called the changes “deplorable, deeply regressive, a sign of the corporatization of the university.”

Mary D. Lewis, a professor who specializes in the history of modern France and has led opposition to the benefit changes, said they were tantamount to a pay cut. “Moreover,” she said, “this pay cut will be timed to come at precisely the moment when you are sick, stressed or facing the challenges of being a new parent.”

The university is adopting standard features of most employer-sponsored health plans: Employees will now pay deductibles and a share of the costs, known as coinsurance, for hospitalization, surgery and certain advanced diagnostic tests. The plan has an annual deductible of $250 per individual and $750 for a family. For a doctor’s office visit, the charge is $20. For most other services, patients will pay 10 percent of the cost until they reach the out-of-pocket limit of $1,500 for an individual and $4,500 for a family.

Utica-Marcellus Natural Gas Pipeline Proosed For The Mid-Atlantic Coast -- January 4, 2015

Updates

July 24, 2018: milestone reached; FERC approves North Carolina portion.

Original Post 

Charlotte BizJournal is reporting:

N.C. regulators will allow Duke Energy and Piedmont Natural Gas to make contracts between their utilities and commercial divisions for gas transportation on the proposed Atlantic Coast Pipeline.

The unanimous vote by the N.C. Utilities Commission on Monday clears the way for Duke, Piedmont, Dominion Resources of Richmond, VA, and AGL Resources of Atlanta to make a preliminary filing next month for federal approval of the pipeline.

The 550-mile pipeline will run from eastern West Virginia, where it will access natural gas from the Utica and Marcellus shale fields, southeastward across Virginia and southward through North Carolina to Robeson County.

It is expected to cost about $5 billion.

As Don pointed out: the folks in New England will still be arguing about natural gas pipelines when this pipeline is finished.

I don't know if folks know how "huge" North Carolina really is in terms of state economy, potential, etc. I think I read somewhere, 75% of the US population lives within a few hours of North Carolina. Apparently the I-40 corridor with Raleigh at one end, Winston-Salem at the other end, and Greensboro, Chapel Hill, and Durham in between.

Virginia, on its own, has a lot going for it, but then add in the fact it has all the good stuff coming out of Washington, DC (to the far northeast) without all the problems associated with an inner city.

This -- the proposed natural gas pipeline -- is a pretty big deal, the little I know about it.

Hopefully 2015 Will Be As Good; North Dakota Best State For Job Creation -- Washington Post -- January 4, 2015

the Washington Post is reporting:

After years of recession and a weak recovery, 2014 may be remembered as the year the U.S. economy regained its footing.

It was the best year for job growth since 1999, and economists predict strong growth in gross domestic product next year, too.

The state that led the way in job creation, though, was one that never really slowed down: North Dakota.

Credit the Bakken oil fields, which have fueled an energy boom that kept North Dakotans employed even in the depths of the recession. The state’s population has boomed, its median income has climbed more than 10 percent in the past six years, and its unemployment rate, 2.7 percent, is the lowest in the country. This was one of the reasons we gave North Dakota the Best State award last spring.

Notes to the Granddaughters

I had a nice lunch with long-time friends who have lived in southern California their entire adult lives. One of the two manages the family's investment portfolio.

In a wide-ranging 90-minute conversation, investing and the economy occupied less than five minutes of our time.

Three takeaways or topics of discussion:

• Apple and the computer industry in general: some people "get it"; others "don't"; some don't care
• health care industry: huge investment opportunity; not a huge investment opportunity but ObamaCare is good for the country; ObamaCare: some people "get it"; others "don't"; some don't care
• oil: no one knows; no consensus among the four of us; 

Bottom line: I'm glad we spent less than five minutes on the US economy, investing, etc.

Most of the discussion had to to do with visiting museums, restaurants, Chinese roast duck, duck, lamb, whale watching.
