Update: CLR's LCU -- July 12, 2021

CLR's Long Creek Unit is tracked here.  

Note previous recent updates:

• July 12, 2021: huge progress; many wells now reporting production.
• May 5, 2021: CLR says it will start drilling out the LCU in August, 2021.
• April 3, 2021: update, #20206.

Wow, wow, wow, I did not expect this. More CLR wells in the Long Creek Unit are starting to report production. 

When I last updated this, in April, 2020, CLR had reported three or four wells; now another half dozen or so. They are moving along very, very quickly in this unit.

EIA Dashboards -- July, 2021

I'm going swimming. I will post the graphics later, but for who want to see them now, the EIA dashboards have been posted. This will be the fourth time I got into the pool today. Each visit was thirty minutes to one hour. One of the four visits was with Sophia. I try to get into the pool at least three times daily.

EIA dashboards:

BLM Finals

Ratings for game 2, at Milwaukee: down 32 percent from "same game," 2019. 

But get this, as bad as those numbers were, game 2 was the most-watched BLM game of the year. 

Game 2 also out-drew four of last year's MLB World Series games. (One word: wow!) 

Viewers:

• game 2, 2019: 13.89 million
• game 2, 2021: 9.38 million

The next question: what were the ratings for game 2 in 2019?

It's "fun" to fact-check this. All the sports networks -- apologists for the BLM conference -- only compare this year's television ratings with the most dismal ratings ever, last year, during the height of the pandemic. It takes a bit of sleuthing to get 2019 television ratings with which to compare.  

In a way, it's too bad. Milwaukee has the "Greek Freak" and it's truly a sad commentary when so few Americans know his story. Previously posted.
