Wedgemount Resources updates field activities at Huggy Assets, reactivates five wells
Wedgemount Resources CEO Mark Vanry joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update to Proactive on the company's field activities at its recently acquired Huggy Assets. After weather-related delays, Wedgemount has full operations going, including pumping, surface facility optimization, maintenance, chemical treatments, and well workovers. The company's primary focus remains on the Echo and Novice operational areas, where five additional wells have been brought back online. These wells had been inactive for a significant period before Wedgemount's acquisition. Historical initial production (IP) rates for these wells ranged from 15 to 65 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd). Vanry noted that previous successful chemical stimulations on Wedgemount’s Willowbend leases resulted in improved well performance. The company expects similar or better results from workovers and chemical treatments at Huggy, potentially exceeding the original IP rates. Looking ahead, Wedgemount has over 100 additional wells that have yet to undergo chemical stimulation, presenting significant production upside over the next two years. #proactiveinvestors #westmountreosurcescorp #cse #wdgy #otcqb #wdgrf #OilProduction #TexasEnergy #EnergyInvesting #OilandGas #MarkVanry #ProactiveInvestors #EnergyStocks #Investing #OilExploration

From failure to fortune: Jonathan Bouzanquet on blockchain and gaming
Jonathan Bouzanquet, the Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Playa3ull Games, joined CryptoSlate’s SlateCast alongside Editor-in-Chief Liam “Akiba” Wright and CEO Nate Whitehill. In a thought-provoking discussion, Bouzanquet shared his vision for blockchain gaming, emphasizing a community-first approach, sustainable funding, and the potential of blockchain technology to revolutionize the gaming industry.Building Games Backwards: A Player-Centric PhilosophyThe discussion delved into Playa3ull's unique approach to game development, which they call "building games backwards." This method emphasizes community involvement from the outset.Jonathan stated, "With Play3bull, we bring the community back into the game. We don't want to just tell the player, this is our game, play it or fuck off. We want to say, here's the game. What do you think? How can we make it better?"This strategy involves an advisory council rather than a traditional DAO, aiming for a dialogue between developers and players to shape the game's evolution based on real feedback.The Importance of Digital Asset OwnershipA significant part of the conversation revolved around the benefits of blockchain for gaming, particularly in terms of asset ownership. Jonathan highlighted the frustrations with traditional gaming where players do not own their in-game achievements."Since you invest such enormous amounts of time, it's important to have those assets owned and they are valuable,"he remarked, envisioning a future where these assets could have inter-game utility.Playa3ull's Economic Model: The Bull TokenJonathan detailed Playa3ull's economic system, centered around the Bull Token. Unlike many gaming platforms with separate tokens for each game, Playa3ull uses a single token across its ecosystem for stability and broader utility."So, our coin comes into existence through our node system... half the coin goes to the company for company function, and half the coin goes to the nodes,"he explained, outlining a

In my quarter finals bracket Spain is replaced by Morocco. It was exciting game.

I predicted Morocco will knock out Spain. 

Spain was just trying to control the ball, not create scoring opportunities. They deserved to be kicked out

Agree, they had the possession most of the game, not sure why they played very conservative. But Morocco deserved it.

Spain has become like that off late baa in the past few years, they aren't like they used to be back in 2010-2012 time when they used to be aggressive with their corners. 

They need a mindset change
