Updating Three Interesting Slawson Wells In Big Bend -- October 13, 2021

Updating these wells, #35898, #35897, and #35896. 

Two of the three wells have dual parallel laterals, drilled about a year apart from each other;

These wells, on a three-well pad, are interesting in their own right and will be updated elsewhere.

Updating Several Slawson Wells In Big Bend -- October 13, 2021

In the process of updating the two wells below, I ran across these wells, #35898, #35897, and #35896. Those wells on a three-well pad, are interesting in their own right and will be updated elsewhere.

Previous note:

• December 16, 2019: #18407, #19404; minimal production, 11/19; see this post; see production over seven days, 6,471 bbls, 12/19;

Let's update these two wells:

CLR With Two New Permits -- A Whitman FIU (Oakdale) And Bang (Cedar Coulee) -- October 13, 2021

ISO NE: link here.

• beautiful, balmy day in early autumn
• electricity spikes to $110 / MWh
• currently, mid-afternoon, $70 / MWh
• could be, should be <$15 / MWH

ISO NE, later, late afternoon -- but before the dinner hour -- electricity spikes to $80 / MWh;

• natural gas: meeting 77% of demand;
• nuclear: meeting 10% of demand;
• renewable energy meeting only 5% of demand;
• expensive Canadian hydroelectricity is now covering demand; meeting 8% of demand;

Buy now, pay later: for those who have forgotten --

Afterpay is best known for its "pay later" service that allows in-store and online customers to purchase a product immediately and pay for it later with four equal repayments. The repayments are interest-free, but if they are not paid every two weeks as required, late fees are accrued.

Firestone has provided this service for years (decades?). Firestone "credit card" new expenses are interest free for six months but start accruing interest responsibilities after that. But doing this across the board, like Afterpay, is pretty clever.

We're Being Played

Link here.

Anybody who believes that the Biden administration is truly concerned about high gasoline prices is being played. 

One doesn't need internal polling to show Americans are deeply concerned about price of gasoline and inflation.

"Let's go Brandon."

Right now, if Americans are placing the blame on anyone, it's Resident Biden -- based on his low polling. Right, wrong, or indifferent the Biden administration knows they need to get that monkey off their collective back and onto someone's else back.

Trump is out of the picture (sort of) so the administration needs to look for another scapegoat. 

Headline: President Bidens asks Big Oil for help. 

Translation: if prices don't drop, blame Big Oil.

From the link above:

If "I" were Big Oil, my opening gambit:

• "Mr President, is the Keystone XL back on the table?"
