Drove thru Permian basin yesterday. Noticed a lot of oil sites were burning off gas. Can one of you oil gurus explain why there’s no way to utilize that wasted energy somehow. Is it a lot of energy wasted?

As not actually ^ points out the flaring happens when there is no infrastructure (pipeline, paging Steel Shank) to transport the gas to market. Sometimes there is no trunk line in the area yet, and sometimes it is full (if the pressure in the existing line is too high wells cannot force any more gas in to it. If the operator shuts the gas in and doesn't allow it to vent/flare the well's oil production will suffer or cease).

The RR commission regulates flaring (operators need a permit to flare gas off and have to meter and report the amount) and for the most part has now banned permanent or long term gas flaring. They do grant exceptions if for whatever reason the gas cannot be brought to market.

According to the RR Comm less than 1% of produced gas is flared off.

Yeehaaaaaaaaaaaaw:

There have been stories for weeks that OPEC will announce a 1M barrel/day increase after today's meeting. He's gonna take credit for it.

Edited by Storm the Field

The oil market seemed to like what came out of the OPEC meeting. WTI up 5.25% today and approaching $70

I am sure that OPEC considers the tweets of that buffoon and gasoline prices of Americans over the budgets of its countries and welfare of its citizens. 

Crude -12.6M barrels vs. -4.5M consensus, +1.2M last week.

Gasoline -0.7M barrels vs. -0.8M consensus, -1.5M last week.

Distillates +4.1M barrels vs. +1.2M consensus, +0.1M last week.

 

😲

So what is going on with prices today?

Internet is telling me that it is due to trade fears and the re-opening of Libyan ports.

WTI dropping 3% to open the day on speculation that Trump and Putin will reach an agreement for Russia to produce more oil.

Additionally, there was a story out Friday that the US is planning to tap the SPR. Maddeningly stupid political hackery.

I fucking hate Trump. 

I get that most people outside of the oil industry doesn't like high gasoline prices.  But is there some bad economic signal or public uprising about gasoline prices that I've missed?   I didn't think it was an issue that anyone was really speaking about until Trump decided to act.  

Oil at 70 was good for everyone. Not too high. Not too low.

According to Snacks way too high. 

Trump’s just a man of the people. What a fucktard.

  • Gasoline -3.2M barrels vs. -0.1M consensus, -0.7M last week.

Looks like we're in the bi-weekly build/massive draw seesaw here.

At this point then, $70 crude is really like Steven (Koren), the first Susan Ross Foundation Scholarship winner.  Right in that meaty part of the commodity curve.  Not showing off...not falling behind.

Maybe the punditocracy are worried about the Federal Reserve and interest rates (as long as we're still a net importer)?

I thought the “free markets” were supposed to solve all problems.

EIA Natural Gas Inventory: +46 Bcf vs. +58 Bcf consensus, +51 Bcf last week

 

We haven't had a 100bcf+ build in almost a month.  Next week will be even worse with the oppressive heat wave we are currently under.  Things could get awful dicey come winter, especially if it's remotely close to this past one.

Prediction holding up well so far.

I typically pay more attention to the monthly figures than the weekly, but traders still trade the data.  It's not necessarily manipulation, but it makes you wonder.  

 

This week:

Imports down 1.2mm bpd

Exports up 1.3mm bpd.

 

Not really any smoothing in the data on the weeklies.  The monthly figures show a more intriguing set of data, but they lag by almost 2 months.  

CHK keeps getting hammered on no real news. After their earnings report next week I may dump it.

CHK is a dog.

I love the CHS CEO, great guy inserted into an brutal situation. He did a great job trying to survive the Aubrey mess, but I won't believe it until I see it. To be fair I think they are doing the right things now, they just have a lot to overcome. 

They do have a really nice campus. So they got that going for them, which is nice.

Around ten years ago we lost a huge number of yonger people from the O&G company I worked for to CHK for that exact reason. It was a great recruiting tool for them. Too bad the company was shit.
