This Is Pretty Cool. Last Month I Noted A Great MRO Well Taken Off Line; Today It's Back On Line -- January 9, 2022

The well that is now back on line:

  • 28075, 3,255, MRO, Anthony USA 23-14H, Moccasin Creek, t2/15; cum 492K 3/20; went off line 2/21; cum 513K 1/21;

Let's look at the pad: a 12-well (8/4) pad in a fan-shaped pattern, south of a two-well pad, only #20642 of interest in this case:

  • 20644, 1,221, MRO, Good Bear USA 31-14H, Moccasin Creek, t12/11; cum 257K 11/21; was off line 2/21 - 4/21 but o/w nothing of interest;

But let's look at the older 4-well pad on the larger 12-well pad:

  • 28076, 3,255, MRO, Hale USA 23-14TFH, Moccasin Creek, t2/15; cum 303K 11/21; was off line 2/21 - 10/21; back on line 11/21;

Halo Effect: We Now Know Which Way The FBIR Johnson Wells Run (East-To-West) -- January 9, 2022

Now that the Rimrock FBIR Johnson wells have come off confidential status we know which way the horizontals are running.

And, whoo-hoo, I was correct; they run east to west: all of section 11; east half of section 10 and west half of section 12: 1280-acre spacing, one full section plus two halves of adjoining sections.

These wells are tracked here.

Of interest was the effect these east-to-west horizontals would have on the following north-to-south wells:

  • 19696, not taken off line, jump in production; see below.
  • 24131, not take off line; slight jump in production; see below.
  • 24132, recently off line; maybe slight jump in production;
  • 24130, not taken off line; production a bit down, if anything.
  • 20417, taken off line; back on line; not jump in production.

Previously producing wells affected by new wells:

  • 24131:

The interesting thing: the new wells were perforated / fracked west of the producing wells running south from that four-well pad.

CLR Harrisburg Wells On Indian Hill Are Starting To Produce -- January 9, 2022

The new CLR Harrisburg wells on Indian Hill just south of Williston on the other side of the river are now starting to show production. These wells are tracked here. 

This is a typical new Harrisburg well:

  • 37658, conf, CLR, Harrisburg 5-27H, Indian Hill, first full month production, 22K 11/21; t--; cum 22K 11/21;

Sunday Morning Coming Down -- January 9, 2022

Taxes:

  • disclaimer: this is not financial advice or tax advice; I have no formal background in financial planning or taxes; I often misread things and misunderstand things. This is for my benefit only. The only benefit, I suppose, for readers, is to remind them that "things have changed."
  • "too late" to do much about 2021, now
    • one exception: grace period until April 1, 2022, for first time IRA RMDs
  • looking forward, RMDs for 2022: IRS has published changes; tables and links explaining some of these changes for those who find the IRS publications difficult to interpret:

Link here.

The finalized rules go into effect on January 1, 2022. This rule change is in addition to the CARES Act waiving 2020 RMDs, the SECURE Act increasing the RMD age to 72, and new post-death distribution rules. RMD rules don't apply to Roth IRAs and any amounts in Health Savings Accounts (HSAs).
Other links:
Europe: energy crisis. Germany goverment addresses spiralling energy prices. Link to Reuters. Lots of talk, little action.
  • half of German households heat with natural gas;
  • one-fourth of German households heat with heating oil;
  • when we lived on the economy in German back in the 1980s, we heated with heating oil; incredibly ridiculous then; more so now;

US: Covid-19 -- US distributes a whopping, unprecedented record-setting amount of vaccine doses. and then this:

Jargon: Lateral flow tests; what are they?

OPEC: reserves. Interesting how the same data is viewed by different folks. 


US energy dominance, 2022 theme, link here. Wow, wow, I'm glad I didn't write this ... just think, from the tweet below, "the US exported 18.6 billion bbls of oil per day....."
