Road To California -- June 9, 2019

From The Wall Street Journal:
PG&E Corp. turned off power to about 22,000 customers in Northern California this weekend as part of the first wave of what the utility has said will likely be numerous pre-emptive shutdowns this year to help prevent deadly wildfires.

It came after the National Weather Service issued its first red-flag warning, which signals high fire danger, of 2019 for a region that has until now been mostly cool and moist.

About 1,600 businesses and homes in parts of Napa, Yolo and Solano counties, located about 75 miles northeast of San Francisco lost power from 6 a.m. Saturday morning until late that night.

#19288 -- Huge Jump In Production -- June 9, 2019

See this link.

*******************************
Update On "Job-Killing, Oil-Industry-Killing California Bill

AB 345. Update. 
This bill never advanced beyond legislative fiscal committees. It was held up in the Assembly Appropriations Committee. The bill could be considered again next year. 
AB 345 (Muratsuchi; D-Torrance) Oil and Gas Development Ban: Would eliminate thousands of high-paying California jobs and require California to import even more foreign oil by banning new oil and gas development, re-drilling operations, and rework operations by imposing a state minimum 2,500-foot setback requirement from certain structures, and further authorizing local governments to enact even greater setback requirements, without limitation.
My hunch: the bill is too extreme even for California. It sounds like the bill that Colorado recently passed in a statewide vote. With gasoline costing $4.50/gallon in California as it is, this would never be passed as a proposition voted on by all state voters.

Hess EN-Sorenson Wells Are Fracked -- June 9, 2019

It looks like the Hess EN-Sorenson wells in Alkali Creek have been fracked.
  • 35184  33-061-04249, fracked 3/21/19 - 4/9/19; 7.271 million gallons of water; 85% water;
  • 35185, 33-061-04250, fracked 3/21/19 - 4/9/19; 7 million gallons of water; 84% water;
  • 35186, 33-061-04251, fracked 3/21/19 - 4/9/19;  7.341 million gallons of water; 78% water; and if I'm reading the data correctly, 15% of proppant was salt water (I may be reading that incorrectly)
At least one neighboring EN-Sorenson well went off line as of 3/19:
