Updating This Well -- 50x Jump In Production -- Bakken 101 -- Bakken 5.0 -- December 23, 2022

This regards this well:

  • 18732, 558, CLR, Stortroen 1-13T, Dimmick Lake, t7/10; cum 231K 10/ 22, full production profile; 27834 / 581 = 50x; cum 256K 11/22;

I saw your post from yesterday on the halo effect of the Hess BB-Budahn wells.  I know you have posted this phenomenon a lot on your blog site, but you have to check out the Stortroen 1-13T (#18732), located in 151-97-13.  They recently drilled additional wells in that area, and this particular well was not the best through its life.  It has been producing since June of 2010, and the highest production ever was around 10,000 a month with most production being around 800 a month.  After the other wells were drilled, this well went to 21k in September, 27k in October, and 24k in November 2022.

Not sure if this was a refrac or not, but pretty impressive regardless.

My reply: 
Yes, it was a re-frac, 5/17/22.

I consider “re-francs” in the broad category of halo effect for tagging but technically not what I originally intended. But it does not matter. The mineral owner is simply happy with a bigger check … regardless of reason.

The re-frac was a moderate re-frac, around 9 million gallons of water with water being 88% of total mass of the frac.

Bakken Energy's Beulah Hydrogen Plan -- Into Thin Air -- January 30, 2023

Behind a paywall; will watch for story elsewhere, but this pretty much says it, from The Bismarck Tribune:

To the reader who sent me the link:

" ...Bakken Energy has already spent $4.76 million of that money and is unlikely to return it."

I assume most of that money went to pay officers, directors, CPAs, and lawyers.

I never had much hope for this -- in the big scheme of things, it certainly appears some snake oil salesmen outsmarted the state.

********************************
A Note To The Granddaughters

I can't remember if I have previously posted this, but it's too precious to lose.

Yesterday at Jason's Deli after the soccer game, I was talking with my son-in-law about secondary containment on well pads in the Bakken.

He is consulting with an oil company on this very issue: pad design. The younger granddaughter, age 7, who had just scored 7 of the 11 points in the 11-0 trouncing of their adversary, was bored with my monologue on secondary containment.

After we got up to go -- they were driving, I was biking -- our older granddaughter, the 10-year-old, came up to me and said she was not bored with the discussion. She had been very quiet, but it turns out she was listening and understanding. She told me that landfills are required to use liners to prevent waste from getting into ground water. She also knew about various layers of clay and gravel to protect landfill waste from getting into the ground water.

I asked her how she knew this: she said she read a book on the environment in her school library.

"We Won't Make Money On A Per Unit Basis" -- Ford Executive -- January 30, 2023

Updates

Later, 1:25 p.m. CT: It's all about margins. 


Original Post

Price wars begin (wow, that was fast): https://twitter.com/GuyDealership/status/1620057370603945986.

This speaks volumes about the future of EVs:

From The WSJ today:


************************
15,0000 To Choose From 

From yesterday:

When there are 15,000 publicly traded companies from which to choose, it boggles my mind why one would chose an oil company drilling in California (CRC). It's the same thought I have regarding PFE: when there are 15,000 publicly traded companies from which to choose, it boggles my mind why one would chose one with a public relations lightning rod.

Now this, today:

The bulk of S&P 500 companies this week will report their fourth-quarter and full 2022 results. And five of them, including Apple, Alphabet and Exxon Mobil, will wind up making even more than Chevron's historic haul.
In fact, Apple is seen making more than $96 billion in 2022 — or 163% more than Chevron.
... among those companies that actually reported, Chevron is a standout so far. Its adjusted net income of $36.5 billion, or $18.83 a share, is the second-largest annual profit that's actually on the books. It's only second to Microsoft, which reported a $67.4 billion adjusted profit in 2022, or $9 a share. And Chevron's profit outstripped the $35.9 billion profit of JPMorgan Chase (JPM) last year.

But don't think you've seen peak S&P 500 profit. Most of the giants are still due to share their results.If you want to see mind boggling profit, just wait until February 2, 2023. That's when gadget maker Apple is due to report its calendar 2022 results. And they're going to be supersize.

Analysts currently think Apple will make a 2022 profit of $96 billion. That would easily make it the most profitable company in the S&P 500 again in 2022, topping Microsoft's bottom line by 42%.

And with a profit base like that, Apple is by far the largest buyer of its own stock. In the past 12 months ended September (the latest data available), Apple bought back $95.6 billion of its own stock. That's way more than any other S&P 500 company bought its own stock, including No. 2 Alphabet at $57.4 billion. It's also more than the $75 billion of stock Chevron says it's buying back.

Even so, S&P 500 investors are disappointed with Apple's profits. On a per share basis, its 2022 calendar profit is seen falling roughly 1% from 2021. That's why the shares are off 8% in a year's time. With that said, Apple's profit is seen jumping another 6% in 2023.

So much more at the link. 

Great buying opportunities.
