Week 8: February 18, 2018 -- February 24, 2018

The most entertaining "phenomenon" of the week has been the "Tesla tweets."

WTI trending toward $64.

Making America great again: jobless claims at 45-year low.

Perhaps the biggest story in the Bakken this month: emergency task force activated to look at ways to handle surging natural gas and natural gas liquids production in the Bakken.  But perhaps as big: Andeavor to build a huge NGL logistics hub at Belfield. Also, here. And, here.  And, here, a $150 million investment in the Bakken.

Another big story: the supertanker test was successful.

Putting the Bakken into perspective: Kashagan missing its targets.

Commentary: glut or no glut.
