It appears CLR is getting ready (or has already) fracked its Pittsburgh / Uhlman Federal wells in Banks oil field. At least one well was checked at FracFocus and there is no data for these wells.
The Pittsburgh / Uhlman Federal wells are tracked here.

Jump In Production, An Old Oasis Crane Federal Well -- July 27, 2019
Updates
Later, 7:29 p.m. CT: immediately after posting the data below I got this note from a reader who really, really follows the Bakken very, very closely and sees so much that I miss. This note will be very interesting over time ... not sure how to save this note so as not to lose it in all the clutter -- I'll worry about that later / solve the problem later. But for now, here's the note/observation from the reader:
That production profile from #21903 (see below) seems to be very significant, but I do not know what to make of it regarding, specifically, the big surge in gas production.
Looking at the high, relatively flat oil production, one might deduce this is another example of a 'recharging' of the formation pressure via 'halo' from nearby frac or ... something else.
The highly elevated produced water levels show water was injected for some purpose, somewhere. Interestingly, the flat level of produced water implies some type of controlled flowback over several months. This, if accurate, would be in line with the restricted production practice (choking) so as to maintain elevated, induced formation pressure.
Not sure and, as you say, don't wish to get ahead of my headlights.
Biggest curiousity, however, is the significant 'spread' in the amount of produced gas versus produced oil. It is a LARGE change in proportionality. Going WAY out on a speculative limb here, but I wonder if newly opened, ultra, ultra tiny fissures (pore throats, specifically) are being blocked by the larger asphaltene molecules.
So little data is available to monitor this, but ongoing evidence for some time has implied a lot of the oil left behind is, indeed, the larger, more viscous molecules. If this is correct (big 'if', for sure), then miscible type EOR could prove especially effective as the remaining hydrocarbons would respond favorably by 'thinning'.

It Appears EOG Is Getting Ready To Drill "New" Liberty LR Wells In Parshall Oil Field -- July 27, 2019
Finally, it looks like the "33XXX" EOG Liberty LR permits/wells are starting to be drilled.
Specifically, #33432 is now drl status.
These wells are tracked here.
The EOG long reach wells on the east side of the river are tracked here.

Why US Natural Gas Is Preferably Moving To Asia Rather Than Europe -- Oilprice Contributor -- July 27, 2019
Updates
Later, 7:57 p.m. CT: see first comment. Some of my observations may be incorrect (that's not news, LOL) and a reader has corrected them. Much appreciated. I would trust the reader's comments much more than I would trust my own. I will have to take another look. Much appreciated -- the reader taking time to write.
Original Post
Link here.
Two takeaways:
- cheaper to move natural gas to Asia than Europe
- Asia's demand for energy (coal, natural gas) is insatiable
- China eager to replace coal with natural gas
- air pollution is the big reason (maybe the only reason)
- public relations (FWIW: atmospheric CO2)

The Book Page
Update on my books for the week.
I continue to enjoy The Vikings and the biography of Constantinople by Lars Brownworth, c. 2009.
The former is a much more scholarly book, a great reference book.
I've never understood how / why WWI broke out -- no matter how much I read on the lead-up to that war, I still don't understand it. Same with Constantinople. I've never understood it. Everything in that period: the break-up of Charlemagne's kingdom; the Holy Roman Empire; Constantinople; the Vikings; the Vandals; Justin (and the Justinian Codex), the evolution of the feudal system. All of it. Never understood it. I guess for most of my high school history teachers, Constantinople was a bridge too far.
But Brownworth does an incredible job covering one thousand years of history and a geographical expanse from Persia to Scotland to Spain to Carthage.
I've always wondered why the Vandals seemed to have disappeared from history of abruptly. Their origins and arrival in western Europe is just as mysterious. But after they arrived, they got a lot of historical press, their fifteen minutes of fame, and then abruptly disappeared.
From Brownworth, pages 87 - 89, the Romans under the Justinian leadership out of Constantinople, decided to take on the Vandals once and for all. Their African capital -- from where they controlled the Mediterranean -- was Carthage. To make a long story short -- no elephants this time -- the Romans (again, out of Constantinople) conquered Carthage, 533 A.D.
The victory shattered the Vandals so thoroughly that they virtually disappeared from history. [Their leader] Gelimer survived to flee into the mountaints and fight on, but by the time winter was over, he realized it was a lost cause and surrendered. [The Roman leader] Belisarius entered the bustling city of Hippo in triumph and found there both Gelimer's vast treasury and the looted riches of Rome. Within a few months, Sardinia, Corsica, and Gibraltar had fallen, and this extraordinary victory was complete. The Vandal kingdom had been distinguished in little more than a year, and the watching world had been put on notice. The [Roman] empire was returning to claim its own.
