Random Look At A Non-Descript Well With Huge Jump In Production Before Settling Down -- June 30, 2016

I have to run; I will finish this post later. But check out the production jump on this well back in the summer/autumn of 2013. This was a previously fracked well. The jump in production was not due to any work on this well as far as I am aware. So, what happened?

The last sundry form submitted for this well was back in 2012.
Regular readers have probably already guessed the answer.

The well that had that incredible jump in production (spreadsheet above) was:

• 16510, 1,082, CLR, State Weydahl 44-36H, Corral Creek, open hole frack, 1 million lbs, t4/07; cum 316K 5/16; 

These two wells were fracked at the time the well above had that jump in production:

• 23785, 400, CLR, State Weydahl 3-36H1, Corral Creek, a Three Forks well, 30 stages, 2.9 million lbs, t8/13; cum 233K 5/16;
• 23786, 691, CLR, State Weydahl 2-36H, Corral Creek, 30 stages, 3.7 million lbs, t8/13; cum 241K 5/16; (by the way, Smokey 13-7-19-14H, #24786 incorrectly scanned in with this file)

Deaths In US Due To Tesla Self-Driving Technology Now Exceed Number Of US Deaths Due To Bakken Crude Oil CBR -- June 30, 2016; Tesla Fatality Occurs In Williston

The fatality occurred in Williston, FLORIDA, not North Dakota.

To the best of my knowledge, there have been no deaths in the US due to a Bakken crude oil CBR unit train derailing and exploding.

From SF Gate:

The first U.S. fatality using self-driving technology took place in May when the driver of a Tesla S sports car operating the vehicle's "Autopilot" automated driving system died after a collision with a truck in Florida.

The government is investigating the design and performance of Tesla's system.

Preliminary reports indicate the crash occurred when a tractor-trailer rig made a left turn in front of the Tesla at an intersection of a divided highway where there was no traffic light. The Tesla driver died due to injuries sustained in the crash, which took place May 7 in Williston, Florida, the agency said. The city is southwest of Gainesville.

NP Resources On The July, 2016, NDIC Dockets -- June 30, 2016

I believe this is the first mention of NP Resources on the blog; I don't know if there have been additional postings on NP Resources, until today. At that post:

NOTE: Whiting transferred about 63 wells to NP Resources; reported on today's daily activity report. The most recent was #30807; the oldest was #08874. All were in southwest North Dakota; in Golden Valley County and Billings County, with about four exceptions (McKenzie County). Full list is here. 

For the July, 2016, NDIC dockets:

25126, NP Resources, Elkhorn Ranch-Bakken, establish 13 1280-acre units, 4 wells on each; create two stand-up 640-acre units, 2 wells each; Billings County

Note: that's the case number on the dockets, not a permit number.
  
I track various oil fields in North Dakota through this post, but to date I have not had a stand-alone post on Elkhorn Ranch-Bakken.

I will post a screenshot of the Elkhorn Ranch-Bakken for the archives, so we can see the "before" and "after."

Today:

I did not take a screen shot of the spacing in this oilfield, but it appears about 1/4 of the field is spaced at 640-acre units; 1/2 are 1280-acre units; and 1/4 are "other."

Starbucks Employees Complain Of Hard Working Conditions

When I read this story two things jumped out at me. The writer mentioned neither a) ObamaCare; nor, b) the $15 minimum wage.

Fortunately those making comments mentioned both.
