From A Reader -- Much Appreciated -- New Record In The Bakken -- May 2, 2018

Updates

May 18, 2018: see update here.  

Original Post 

From a reader:

Marathon just reported Q1 2018 results. They say that the Arkin well is the largest TF well in basin history as measured by 30-day IP.

From MRO: 

The Arkin well in Hector set a new Williston Basin Three Forks record delivering a 30-day IP oil rate of 3,040 barrels of oil per day (bopd). 

The Company set two new basin Middle Bakken records in West Myrmidon with average 30-day IP rates of 3,470 bopd from the June and Chauncey wells. 

Two additional West Myrmidon wells that came online late in the quarter, the Mark Middle Bakken well and Wilbur Three Forks well, achieved 24-hour IP rates of 10,875 boed and 7,570 boed, respectively, and are not yet at 30 days of production.

Embattled -- ETP -- Effectively Ended -- rovEr -- May 2, 2018

From ArgusMedia:

• ETP's Rover Pipeline
• FERC: "go for it"
• approval to reach full flow rates -- effective immediately
• connects Appalachian shale gas pipelines in West Virginia to markets in Ohio, Michigan, and Ontario, Canada (yes, shipping NG to Canada; who would have thought?)
  
• full flows: 3.25 billion cubic feet / day (about a half-million boepd?)
• comment: pretty cool; making America great again
