Eagle Ford production up 60 % over 2012 totals

Bloomberg/Fuel Fix:
Oil production in Texas’s Eagle Ford shale formation rose 60 percent in June from the same month the year before.

The nine fields that make up the majority of Eagle Ford yielded 617,884 barrels of crude a day, according to preliminary data released by the Texas Railroad Commission, which oversees oil and gas drilling in the state. The fields produced 386,763 barrels daily in June 2012.

May output was revised to 625,833 barrels a day from the preliminary report of 581,923, the commission said. Production totals typically increase in subsequent months as the state receives revised, corrected or late reports.
...
Texas total production for the month was 2.53 million barrels a day in May.  This reflects increased production in the Permian Basin and other prospects.  It is the highest production totals since 1982.   I expect total production for the state will grow even more as the Cline formation is explored in West Texas.  That formation is several times the size of the Eagle Ford.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
