It was on Bloomberg's subscriber service and that was Simmon's source. Jim Ulrich of Petrie Parkman gave me a printout during the conference as they subscribe to Bloomberg.
Adding to what Stuart said, a Bloomberg terminal is a strange animal.  You can get basically any news out of it, but I don't even know if there is a 'top stories' feature.  If there is, I've never seen anyone use it.  When you pay that much fot access, you get fully customized database scans and access to the full database for things you want to know which are off your normal radar.  One oilfield peaking somewhere in the world is pretty esoteric information.  It's only huge news in this case because of the context.  

In other words, every Bloomberg subscriber in the world wouldn't necessarily have seen it.
