It’s not global, not even close to crude.  We produce 100 Bcfd. I’m not bullish on gas except I think it’s interesting NG hasn’t really moved much and is starting to come up. We still have entirely to much has in this country, and that’s not stopping any time soon. 

To classify NG as a regional or domestic commodity in 2020 is inaccurate. We require exports to balance supply/demand given current close to record high levels of production. That makes it global. Look at ng versus nbp/ttf/jkm  on a chart. 

I don’t think we are disagreeing with each other except for that point.

As for price...we’ve held multi year lows, which I guess is supportive. Balances in the near term, however, are a train wreck. Burns from power generation will have to remain at all time highs to keep the bottom in. Tough ask in the current state of affairs.

Our production is actually down to about 92.5/bn cfd as of recent.  We may drop to 80 in the coming months.  

My company gave full bonuses in late February despite the gathering shit storm. I'm grateful. I put 90% of it into savings. I hope my coworkers followed suit.

We were supposed to get ours end of March. Not so lucky.

Thanks. Bonuses “suspended indefinitely.” I’m not counting on anything.

Look at historical prices in Europe versus US - and even today. I disagree it’s global. It’s trending in that direction but not there yet. 

Good. I presume this is the associated gas drop you’re anticipating. At $1.75 and trending upward, I don’t see an Appalachian slowdown. 

When shale drilling stops, doesn't majority of NG production go away? I would assume NG prices could see big jump soon.

Lol really? Look on your Bloomberg terminal at a prompt Ng1/ttf1 spread. They have followed each other like puppy dogs for months. That has corresponded with a steady increase in LNG exports as trains have come online. Is that some random walk?

As for the associated gas drop. I have lurked on here a long time and very much appreciate your opinions Trey, but no way is production dropping to 80 any time soon. And the first tranche that drops will be the volumes being flared currently in the Bakken and Permian, over 1 bcfd.

What was gas in Europe about a year ago?  $6?  Of course there’s a correlation. If it’s a true global commodity, there’s gonna be a few benchmarks within 10% of one another. When the LNG market is greater than 10% of production, you’ll have a better argument. 

I guess we are just arguing semantics of a “global commodity”. My view is that it is, now. PSA... running into producer hedging in 2021 at 2.50+... those lots will find their way to the front of the market at some point soon. Happy Gas Trading and good evening.

Halliburton to furlough 3,500 employees in Houston. One week on / one week off, so a 50% pay reduction. Benefits stay in place 

36 minutes ago, Johnny Chimpo said:

Another 3500? Or the same ones that had been announced a week or two ago? 
 

they had previously announced 3500 furloughs on March 18th. Just curious if there are more. 


https://www.rigzone.com/news/halliburton_to_furlough_3500_workers_in_houston-19-mar-2020-161430-article/

 

it's the same group. not sure why the houston news had it at the top their page 

HAL's business is heavily weighted to North America.  3500 is probably just the tip of the iceberg

Yes, my father had a 40 year career with HAL. Not sure how he did it, just tough and smart enough to escape the chopping block umpteen times best I can tell. Anyways, those service companies don’t wait to make deep cuts. 

@Johnny Chimpo damn that is impressive. I made it 5 years (first five years of my career). I think the 6th round of layoffs is what finally caught me. It was a bummer because I was in the process of relocating to Australia with HAL but couldn’t get there fast enough before the ax.

It recently had 58 drilling rigs at work in the Permian, but that will likely fall to 15, said analysts with Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co.

Without an oil correction I don't know how production doesn't drop under 80 this summer. We will switch from an NG exporter in an importer in short order.

Associated gas is about 12% of this country’s nat gas production. Maybe 15%. Can’t find a recent figure. We are not dropping to 80 this summer or likely at all. 

I’ve read it’s upward of 40%

12% per EIA (from 2018 though)

Oil down 6%, natty up 6%

🎵 thats the way we like to fuck 🎶

Another week another 15+MM build in inventories.  This all seems to be priced in as we're still up >3%.  I'm still short oil, as this rally seems to be artificial, maybe people unwinding short positions?

Well fuck. The perfect storm we are in has now affected me. Just got the world that after next week the project is reducing everyone (well, most everyone’s) hours per week to 30. Yeah, I still have a job, but my gut feeling is this project gets mothballed.

I was driving through El Reno, OK over the weekend and saw what appeared to be a brand new, very modern looking Haliburton building with a "for sale" sign out front. The place looked like it had never been used. Then I saw the gas stations offering .99/gal. Tough times around here for sure.

Fortunately, forums featuring likeminded friends like here are for support in your fluid FPU fickle fix that you find yourself floundering in.

On a serious note. I’m sorry about the uncertainty. I hope that this is only a temporary pause and don’t want to wish anyone actual harm.

Damn... I get minutes for FEED projects. Good luck man. I hope you land on your feet.

well a good buddy just sent me his Buy Side criteria for acquisitions in the Delaware.  He's PE backed and they have around ~45K NMA they are currently operating on so I guess there are some groups trying to acquire during the carnage.

WTF just happened? WTI jumps 8% immediately and USO just got halted.

Doing cuts after that temper tantrum makes them look like clowns. Will be surprised if it holds.
