Someone reminded me a couple days ago about Questar. I had forgotten to mention Questar in one of my recent blogs and someone wanted to remind that Questar was doing some good things, also.
And Questar (STR) certainly is. Today, it reported a well with an IP of 1,742: file number 18322, MHA 1-06-31H-150-92. It is listed as a wildcat but it sits within feet of three good oil fields: the Van Hook, Heart Butte, and the Mandaree. There are about ten (10) sections sitting between Van Hook and Reunion Bay that are not yet part of either defined field. In these few sections there are two confidential wells (one with a rig on site; one that has reached TD and is waiting to be completed, and the aforementioned Questar well, which by the way, is a long lateral stretching under the lake.

It really is incredible. These seven (7) wells were all released on the same day and there was no one, no one, blogging about how incredible these numbers were. Folks have really gotten bored with the Bakken. Or perhaps they put these piddly wells in comparison to what one "leaking" well in the gulf is doing.

Energy Crisis Sooner Than We Think
Article from Seeking Alpha.com on impending energy crisis.
I don't agree with the article. I posted why I disagreed with the article in the comments section of the article.

EPA and Fracking
For those who think I'm "chicken Little" and the "sky is falling" with regard to the EPA and fracking, you may want to attend one of these four "already scheduled" meetings. Four meetings are scheduled to discuss "the plan" that is already being put together. The location of the meetings are very interesting.
I think most of us understand how far along a Federal plan has come when it starts the "public comment" period. Usually 60 - 90 days after the last meeting, the plan is put into place.
The governor has said horizontal drilling would cease for two to three years while the Federal rules were put in place. Maybe this would allow time for the infrastructure for the energy industry everyone wants in North Dakota. It would also provide time to figure out how to manage critical housing needs. (Of course, if drilling is stopped for two to three years, housing really won't be a problem, will it?)
The EPA is winning every battle it takes on under the current administration and it looks like it is going to take on the fracking battle.
Let's see ... if the casing that protects the water table blows out while drilling ....
NOTE: I am being very cynical and inappropriate in this posting. I would recommend that it (the posting, not the EPA) be ignored. I am just venting. Everything will work out just fine. I think even "Chicken Little" had a happy ending. The sky really didn't fall.
