Ah, Yes, The Ron Burgundy Comes Off The Confidential List This Weekend -- August 3, 2014; CLR Reports A Huge Well;

CLR at the tipping point? Some great 3-section horizontal wells, and now a very interesting well in the Camp oil field, and what looks like a nice well in the Brooklyn oil field. It will be interesting to see the file reports/scout tickets, Monday.

Libya, Then (One Month Ago) And Now (Today) -- August 3, 2014; Iraq Only Worsens

THEN: July 4, 2014 -- AFP

Libya will flood the world with oil:

Not one new Libyan barrel has been shipped out of the terminals since the agreement to reopen them. Yet oil prices have already shed around $4 on the news. In turn, Tripoli will get less revenue from its current, meager oil sales from smaller ports.

In theory, the troubled nation could immediately flood oil markets: even just one of the terminals being re-opened has enough oil in store to swiftly fill up to ten medium-sized tankers. But if that happened, “we fear there could be a surplus” on global oil markets, one Libyan oil official says.

NOW: August 3, 2014 -- PressTV

Libya up in flames:

A British Navy ship has arrived in Libya to evacuate British nationals amid deadly fighting in the country, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) says. The MoD said in a statement that the HMS Enterprise, which had been on a Mediterranean deployment, arrived off the capital Tripoli on Sunday. 

The Foreign Office had previously urged British people to leave the North African country following the latest round of intense fighting among rival armed groups in the African country. The British embassy in Tripoli also said it will suspend operations on Monday.

Of course, once the Libyans clear all those British ships out of the harbor, they can start loading tankers with oil and flood the market with oil.

Iraq/ISIS: Off the Radar Scope

Militants Continue to Consolidate Gains

Take Major Dam

President Obama's Focus: "Russia Doesn't Make Anything"

FoxNews is reporting, two more Iraqi/Kurdish towns fall to ISIS:

Militants with the Islamic State extremist group on Sunday seized two small towns in northern Iraq after driving out Kurdish security forces, further expanding the territories under their control, officials and residents said.

The fresh gains by the Sunni extremist militants have forced thousands of residents to flee from the religiously mixed towns of Zumar and Sinjar, toward the northern self-ruled Kurdish region, the United Nations said. Some of them were trapped in an open rugged area, it added.

Mosul Governor Atheel al-Nujaifi, who fled to the largely autonomous Kurdish region when the Islamic State group and allied Sunni militants seized Iraq's second-largest city of Mosul in June, told The Associated Press that the two towns fell after fierce clashes that erupted the day before.

A resident in Sinjar said the militants blew up a small revered Shiite site and two Yazidi shrines. Yazidis are a Kurdish-speaking sect and religious minority. Another resident in Zumar said they took over at least two small oil fields. Both spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution.

But much more ominous, the rebels take a huge Kurdish dam, as reported by The Daily Star:

Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) fighters seized control of Iraq's biggest dam, an oilfield and three more towns Sunday after inflicting their first major defeat on Kurdish forces since sweeping through the region in June.

Capture of the Mosul Dam after an offensive of barely 24 hours could give the Sunni militants the ability to flood major Iraqi cities, sharply raising the stakes in their bid to topple Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's Shiite-led government.

Meanwhile, President Obama continues to throw petty insults at V Putin: "Russia doesn't make anything."  These petty insults only makes things more problematic for our ambassadors, diplomats, SecState Kerry. [Don reminds me: it appears that Obama has completely forgotten about Russia's space program; Russia practically "owns" the space station now. They are the only ones ferrying supplies to the station; the US relies on the Russians for access to the station; I don't think the US is even interested in a manned program any more.]

Original Post

Link here to the Reuters article.

Harold Hamm, now 68, founded Continental Resources in 1967, or 21 years before his 1988 marriage to Sue Ann, 58, who was then an attorney at the company. When the oilman divorced his previous wife, in 1987, court filings estimated his wealth at around $16 million. Today, Hamm's stake in Continental means he owns more oil in the ground than any other American, and the firm is worth $28 billion.

It could have been a dynasty.

Speaking Of Pain

This, Too, Could Have Been A Dynasty

On July 26, 2014, I posted:

My hunch is that President Obama's handicap is decreasing while Tiger Woods' handicap is increasing. It's very possible, the two handicaps will cross sometime in 2018.  Someday you can say you read it here first.

Disclaimer: this is not a sports column. Do not quote anything from this site as accurate if it pertains to sports, or anything you think you might have read here that might possibly have related to sports. Definitely don't make any Las Vegas bets based on what you read here.  

It was announced today that Tiger Woods has withdrawn from this weekend's tournament (the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational) due to back pain. At the link: "Prior to Sunday, Woods was playing well, though he wasn't in contention. Following a two-under 68 on Thursday, Woods finished with a 71 and 72 on Friday and Saturday, respectively." Later: is this the end of Tiger's career? CBS New York is reporting:

If Woods does not play in the PGA Championship (this week - August 7, 2014), that would be the end of his season. He would have to win the PGA to be eligible for the FedEx Cup playoffs. In six starts on the PGA Tour this year, Woods finished all four rounds only twice.

And then reality:

Maybe Tiger hasn’t quit his chase for Jack Nicklaus’ majors record, but his body has.

This latest injury will almost certainly knock him out of the PGA Championship, the Ryder Cup and the FedEx Cup Playoffs.

The question isn’t will Tiger win a major any more. It’s when will he stop trying?

Jack Nicklaus has 18 major PGA majors; Tiger Woods, 14. He will 40 years old next year, I believe.

A Note for the Granddaughters

In today's (Sunday) Los Angeles Times, p. E12, Bill Cornwall's column on chess discusses the recent  chess tournament for young women in which a $10,000 scholarship to the University of New Hampshire was at stake.

Ten of the highest-rated girls under age 20 in the nation were invited to compete for the new national title, $2,000 in cash, and the aforementioned scholarship.

The youngest competitor was ten-year-old Carissa Yip of Massachusetts.

Sharing first after the nine rounds of play:

• Claudia Munoz, Texas
• Apurva Virkkud, Virginia
• Maggie Feng, Ohio
• Akshita Gorti, Virginia

Having the most tie-break points allowed Munoz to receive the scholarship. 

So, the ethnic background of the finalists: Hispanic, Chinese, sub-continent Indian (2), 

Random Look At Some KOG P Wood Wells Near North Dakota Lewis And Clark State Park, And The Lewis and Clark Recreation Area -- August 3, 2014

The reader who sent the photo of the eleven (11) pumpers on one pad, also sent a photograph of some of the KOG P Wood wells.

The photographer / reader mentioned that it is difficult to photograph / access the wells because there are security guards at some of the sites. It is unusual for security guards to be placed at well sites, but due to the close proximity to the state park and the recreation area, KOG probably wanted to minimize casual visitors.

This is a google map of the area:

The marker is of:

• 28409, drl, KOG, P Wood 154-98-4E-26-35-14H, Truax. One can easily locate these wells by pasting latitude and longitude into google maps (the numbers only, e.g., "48.139110, -103.255598, exactly that way, with the comma and the "minus" sign)
• Note the location of these wells near the entrance to the Lewis and Clark Recreation Area; it must be quite a sight for weekend vacationers to the park

This is the satellite view, in which you can see the pads:

And this is the NDIC GIS map server schematic taken the same day as the screen shots above:

I track the P Wood wells here but have not updated them in quite some time.

I track the Truax oil field here, and I suppose it has not been updated in quite some time, also.
