## Assorted Links (and a chance to win an Amazon gift card)

By **Stephen Clayman** · March 26, 2018

## Oklahoma Oil and Gas Mineral Owners:

Here are a few links that Berlin read over the weekend that will be of interest:

Duke is sad that he didn't buy more Oklahoma mineral rights and royalties in the MERGE before the Governor James B. Edwards well was drilled by Citizen Energy.

## [The Perfect Oilfield](https://www.oilystuffblog.com/single-post/2018/03/20/The-Perfect-Oil-Field) (unfortunately, not the STACK/SCOOP/MERGE..):

Once one starts tacking on zeros to the production numbers, Berlin's former tong working brain starts to spin a bit (like chains...). It sounds very impressive and I'm sure the Bedouins of that desert prefer the sovereign didn't own the mineral rights. H/T to [Tyler Cowen](http://marginalrevolution.com/) for the link and the introduction to [Shellman's blog](https://www.oilystuffblog.com/).

## [‘Enormous’ Merge Play Resource Rivals Major World Gas Fields](https://www.spe.org/en/jpt/jpt-article-detail/?art=3989) (fortunately, the MERGE, unfortunately not the STACK/SCOOP)

The secret has been out for some time, but the Governor James B. Edwards well drilled by Citizen Energy, has led to the development of the MERGE (...who coined this one and what does it stand for?*) and that means money in the door for Oklahoma oil and gas mineral owners in the Tuttle/Minco/Union City area.

## [Sheriff Takes Food from Prisoners, Locks up Whistle Blower](http://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2018/03/sheriff-takes-food-prisoners-locks-whistleblower.html) (weird and legal, but shouldn't be)

For some reason, we take liberty for granted. Vote them out.

More to follow,

Berlin
