June 17, 20205 yr I'm one of 5 board operators on a 4 shift crew. The next guy doesn't certify until at least March. 2 of them are over 65 but there is a really uneasy feeling across the board with everything. Went fishing with a buddy this morning. Same feeling
June 17, 20205 yr Work downstream in plastics here. They've already cut operations down to the bare bones, and our company is fairly conservative fiscally, so no real worries here.
June 17, 20205 yr I’m week to week right now. My boss is working on getting me to part time, at 24 hours a week, but even that is an issue right now. My saving grace is that no one wants to do my job, it takes 6 - 8 months to get decent at it and I’m the SME for North America. You’d think I’d be safe, but I’m betting on a month leave of absence.
June 17, 20205 yr I hadn't really worked on anything billable since I had 2 straight opinions cancelled in late March/early April. Fortunately, all the work I did in March got paid at end of April and then my firm got PPP money to pay us in May and June. Finally picked up a new project on Monday that should keep me busy for maybe a month or so. Feels good man.

I don’t follow. Maybe you meant if I’m scared there’s not enough meat on the bone? Getting PDP at PV20 in this price environment is obviously a no-brainer. Nice find.
June 18, 20205 yr Damn. Are there enough DUCs out there to turn this around anywhere near as quickly as it did in '17 or '19? Edited June 18, 20205 yr by The Royal We

I think the bigger problem is frac crews. There is a large inventory of DUCs and it's going to take a while, with the amount of crews still intact, to get to them. So doubt it will turn around as fast.

June 19, 20205 yr Thank goodness we’re all rich again. Oil companies gonna be handing out sign on bonuses next month as they have to replace all the people they just let go.
June 19, 20205 yr I’m ready to listen if someone has a $150k sign up bonus 100% serious Edited June 19, 20205 yr by tx 3 putt
June 19, 20205 yr Rig count drops yet another 13. Down to 266. Turns out the bottom is lower than I expected. Where it stops, nobody knows. 250? US daily production is already down a whopping 2.6M barrels/day since the week ending March 13. 13.1M--->10.5M. We're back to March 2018 production levels. Edited June 19, 20205 yr by Storm the Field

June 20, 20205 yr Back to $40. Is it happening? At some point in 7 years it will be $140. In that same time it may also be $30. Markets.

I’m going to take credit for a lot of this bounce in oil prices because it’s pretty much gone up four out of every five days since I bought the inverse leveraged oil ETF back when oil was breaking through $20. Considering that position is, well it was, about 1% the size of my oil stocks at the time I’m willing to let it go to zero if my stocks keep going up. It’s about 0.3% of my oil stocks as of today and I don’t care. Make bank, get ass.

June 22, 20205 yr Have touched $40 a few times recently, but price always retreats back into the $30s. Today was the first day to actually close above $40 since 3/6.
June 23, 20205 yr More of that rapier’s wit sarcasm from the administration, guys are downright hilarious
June 23, 20205 yr Total shot in the dark, but I'm looking for dry gas wells if anyone knows of anything. Preferably Midland Basin, but Eastern Shelf and Central Basin Platform work too. Trying to stay away from the Delaware for now and New Mexico can go fuck itself. Thanks in advance. Edited June 23, 20205 yr by BTW
June 26, 20205 yr Rig count basically unchanged this week. Down just 1 to 265. Maybe a little more room to drop, but this feels bottom-ish, barring another dip into $20 prices. Big question now is when does that number start heading in the opposite direction?

June 28, 20205 yr Amazing race to the bottom for Oxy. I remember just about a year or so ago when they were planning to move over to my neck of the woods into the old COP campus and thinking they might be a good company to work for if I started looking around.
June 29, 20205 yr On 6/28/2020 at 5:22 PM, longhornmatt said: Chesapeake should have been done 6 or 7 years ago. In fact, there should probably be a new chapter in the bankruptcy code just for them and their creditors where the statute simply says, “Why the fuck did you lend them money? Everyone just go away.” I was listening to somebody on CNBC today talking about CHK's finances after Aubrey left. Supposedly the company was netjets #1 customer in the world, they were the NBA's largest season ticket holder and there was a secret door somewhere on their sprawling campus that led to a massive wine cellar that had a massive wine collection, all paid for with shareholder's money. No doubt a decade of low nat gas prices crushed them, but Aubrey didn't do them any favors with his spending.
July 1, 20205 yr Ha CHK still gonna CHK “The company said in its bankruptcy petition that it has $16.2 billion in assets and $11.8 billion in debt.” 16.2 Billion in assets?
July 1, 20205 yr Last I saw CHK's assets being valued, it was shown at $9 billion and that was early this year before the shit hit the fan. Hard to see how that number could almost double between now and then.

July 1, 20205 yr On 6/28/2020 at 6:13 PM, Neonmoon said: Occidental Petroleum is warning investors that it expects to reduce the value of its assets by $6 billion to $9 billion in the second quarter after crude prices sank to historic lows during the past six months. Oxy wrote down $580 million on its oil-related assets and lost $2.2 billion in the first quarter, so the company's warning could foreshadow horrendous second quarter results when the company releases its earnings report July 29.
July 1, 20205 yr I know I have mentioned Sanchez Energy on here before, I got this notification. June 30 (Reuters) - Sanchez Energy Corp ( SNECQ 😞 * SANCHEZ ENERGY SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETES FINANCIAL RESTRUCTURING; EMERGES AS MESQUITE ENERGY, INC. * COMPANY ELIMINATED SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF DEBT FROM ITS BALANCE SHEET, WHICH TOTALED APPROXIMATELY $2.3 BILLION * CAMERON GEORGE WILL SERVE AS INTERIM CEO, EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT AND CFO OF MESQUITE ENERGY Source text for Eikon: Further company coverage: What are your thoughts? They were able to shed all of their debt and restructure under a new name. Stock is up like 20% over the past couple days. What typical happens in these kind of situations for the stock to continue to rise? Acquire wells? Contracts?

July 9, 20205 yr Maybe they used La Salle County's tax appraisers. They valued a lot of my clients' wells for this year's taxes with an oil price of $195/BBL.
July 10, 20205 yr Another small handful of rigs dropped this week. That's the 18th straight weekly drop, though the rate of decline has slowed to a crawl. Just 8 rigs over the past 3 reports. So much fat trimmed that there's really nothing but bone to cut at this point. Various milestones to compare against the current active rig count of 258: 146 less than the previous all-time low heading into June 2016 (404). 534 less than the beginning of COVID shutdowns in mid-March (792). 700 less than the same week last year (958).

July 10, 20205 yr https://www.cnet.com/news/the-roughneck-us-cowboys-who-drilled-britains-secret-wwii-oil-wells/ Above is a lengthy, but interesting article when the oil barons have time to read. Wars aren't fought only on battlefields. Here's the little-known story of the gang of Americans who searched for black gold in the heart of besieged Britain.
