Breaking News: 1000's Of Wells Left Unfracked


This is nothing new to those following the US oil and gas industry. 24/7 Wall Street is reporting:
There are roughly 2,500 to 3,500 drilled, but uncompleted oil wells in the U.S. 
As many as 1,400 of those wells are located in the Eagle Ford shale play in south Texas. 
In February EOG Resources Inc said it would delay a significant number of well completions and plans to close out 2015 with 285 uncompleted wells, up from 200 at the end of 2014. 
Continental Resources Inc., Apache Corp., and Anadarko Petroleum Corp.have also said that they plan to delay well completions until crude oil prices pick up again.

Global Oil

I don't think there's anything new in this article that regular readers are not away of, but it has a number of interesting data points.

From this weekend's edition of the WSJ:
Saudi Arabia is struggling to maintain its share of the global oil market in a contest that pits the world’s largest crude exporter against traditional allies in the U.S. and Persian Gulf. 
The Saudi kingdom’s oil exports declined 5.7% in 2014 compared with 2013. Oil shipments to its fastest-expanding customer, China, reached their lowest levels since 2011 in the first two months of 2015, according to the China General Customs Administration. And its U.S. sales nearly halved in January compared with a year earlier, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. China and the U.S. are Saudi Arabia’s biggest importers, with 10% and 8%, respectively, of the kingdom’s production. 
The assumption: Saudi Arabia, with its vast reserves of inexpensive-to-produce crude, would be well-positioned to maintain market share and even get new customers after Brent crude-oil prices fell below $50 a barrel early this year from highs of $115 in 2014. On Friday, Brent crude settled at $57.87, up 2.3% on the day. 
Instead, the kingdom has been forced into a fight with OPEC members, cutting its selling price to Asian customers six times in nine months. But Russia and Saudi Arabia’s Persian Gulf allies have outmaneuvered it, cutting better deals with Chinese, Indian and European refineries, industry analysts said. Kuwait, for instance, boosted its exports by signing a 10-year supply deal last year with China’s largest refiner, China Petroleum & Chemical Corp., known as Sinopec. 
The competition could intensify as Persian Gulf countries like Kuwait and the U.A.E. move to boost production to keep market share as global energy demand is expected to rise in the next decade. 
Saudi Arabia’s share of total world output of crude oil fell slightly in 2014 compared with 2013, from 10.3% to 10.2%, according to the International Energy Agency, a Paris watchdog.

Muscle Shoals

A reader recommended the DVD Muscle Shoals. I ordered it from Amazon a few days ago; the US Postal Service delivered it today -- on a Sunday. It is an incredibly good documentary. I did not know about Muscle Shoals; makes me wonder how I could miss something so big. "Everybody" recorded here, including the Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin, Linda Ronstadt, Bob Dylan (his first grammy), Lynyrd Skynyrd, Alabama, and the list goes on and on.

A huge "thank you" the reader for the recommendation.
