Actually net imports after oil and product exports is ~1.3 million barrels. A lot of the refineries are engineered for heavy oil not light oil. I believe this is the reason for 6 million barrel of imported oil.
ReplyDeleteIf I made a mistake on the imports, I will go back and correct it. I was in a hurry.
DeleteBut you are absolutely correct about heavy oil and light light; we've discussed it often on the blog. There is nothing wrong with imports; there is a reason the refineries are importing (heavy) oil. Thank you for taking time to write and pointing that out.
Waiting for next week, it will be a nice trend if there are three weeks of draw in a row. Time will tell. Marathon ran its report today. Talking about bakken costs being exceptional low, I think it translate to about 4.5 million per well.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm out in Montana with family so I'm not keeping up with all this, so I appreciate the notes. I will definitely note this in a stand-along blog when I get caught up. There are many reasons these wells are coming in at low costs.
