Headlines LIke These Really Annoy Me -- July 25, 2015
This is the tweeted headline from EIA a few minutes ago:
Wow.
When you go to the linked story:
But the EIA tweets: incredibly lame. Not all, I suppose, but certainly a lot.
By the way: imported LNG contributed about 0.2% of total US natural consumption. Compare with EIA noting that solar energy accounts for about 0.4% total electricity production.
The only thing this post is good for is a song:
Dead Flowers, Townes Van Zandt
Trinidad and Tobago provides approximately two-thirds ofOf course that got my attention. With all the natural gas the US is producing, the EIA tweets that Trinidad and Tobago provides about two-thirds of the US natural gas imports. What gives?#LNG#imports to the United States#EnergyFacts http://go.usa.gov/3G2ZC
Wow.
When you go to the linked story:
The United States imports and exports LNG. Sometimes LNG originally imported to the United States is re-exported to other destinations where prices are higher. In 2014, the United States imported about 59 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of LNG and exported 16 Bcf of LNG.
The net imports of 43 Bcf of LNG contributed about 0.2% of total U.S. natural gas consumption in 2014.
About 95% of LNG imports were from Trinidad and Tobago, Yemen, and Norway.A note from the EIA telling us that two-thirds of natural gas imported into the US comes from T&T, only to find out total NG imports represents 0.02% of total US NG use, is about as useful as a tweet from Dennis Rodman telling us he supports Donald Trump. This is one of the reasons I discontinued following twitter for such a long time, until a reader suggested I follow John Kemp. Which I now do. And I'm thrilled with his tweets.

Another Photo Of Statoil's 5-Well Pad West Of Williston -- July 25, 2015
As promised, here is the second of several photos that will be posted over the next several days. The first batch of photos will be of the Statoil Trust wells a few miles west of Williston. This 5-well pad is just east of another 4-well pad in the same section.
A huge "thank you" to the reader for sending these photos.
With recent news of chicken and egg shortages due to "bird flu," and the arrival of beer can chicken season, I've been following the availability of chickens and their prices in the local stores.
At Costco yesterday, whole fryers were going for 69 cents/lb, if I remember correctly. All I know for sure is that I bought two small fryers -- two of them -- for a total of $7.50.
At Minyard's next door, whole fryers are going for $1.5/lb; similar fryers are selling for 68 cents/lb at Albertson's two blocks away, a short bike ride. [Minyard's is a Texas-based store, pretty much limited to the DFW area.]
I didn't check the price of "organic" chickens at Albertson's but at Minyard's, "organic" fryers were going for $2.59/lb or thereabouts. It might have been $2.47. Anyway, a single "organic" fryer was $10+.
Availability was no issue at Costco, but at both Minyard's and Albertson's there were only about 8 at the former, a dozen at the latter, a fairly small number.
Ahi tuna fillets were very inexpensive at Albertson's -- one could buy three 5-ounce steaks pre-wrapped for $4.95. I bought two fresh 5-ounce tune fillets for $3.50 each ($7.00 total).
The tuna was significantly less expensive than the one corn-fed Angus rib-eye that I bought.
One package of Johnsonville bratwurst to round out the grill.
On the bike ride home -- temperature was 94 degrees, forecast to hit 99 -- I noted all the huge SUVs and pick-up trucks. Mostly huge SUVs. I got to thinking about "culture" across the US. I have my own world view of the southwest, the south, the northeast, and the midwest. The only areas of the continental US I really don't feel comfortable talking about / thinking about is the far southeast (Florida, Georgia) or the far northwest (northern California, Oregon, Washington). With regard to the far southeast, we did live in Alabama for two years, so I feel I have a pretty good understanding of that area. And in the Pacific Northwest, our younger daughter lives there and we have visited occasionally but not enough.

Update On Spiritwood, Jamestown, North Dakota -- July 25, 2015
The story is tracked here. If one is at all interested in energy, ethanol, the Bakken, North Dakota, this is quite a story.
It's hard to believe that it was less than three years ago that I posted the vision folks had for this project. That was January 6, 2013.
