OPEC Production Increased Month-Over-Month, September, 2015

Reuters/Rigzone reports that OPEC production increased month-over-month in September, 2015. Unfortunately the article doesn't mention much about exports.

About the only export information was this:

Top exporter Saudi Arabia kept output steady in September as reduced use of crude in domestic power plants was offset by a gentle uptick in exports towards the latter part of the month.

Saudi output remains close to the record high of 10.56 million bpd it pumped in June, as it focuses on market share. Riyadh has regained some market share in 2015, according to a Reuters analysis published on Wednesday.

Wyoming Judge Issues Injunction Against New Federal Fracking Rules -- September 30, 2015

Rigzone/Reuters is reporting:

A Wyoming judge on Wednesday granted a preliminary injunction against the federal government's regulations for hydraulic fracturing on public lands, handing a victory to oil and gas producers who had vehemently opposed the rules.

U.S. District Judge Scott Skavdahl had put the regulations on hold in June as he weighed a request from energy industry groups and four states to stop the rules from being implemented until their lawsuit against the new standards was resolved.

The rules issued by the Interior Department would require companies to provide data on chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, and to take steps to prevent leakage from oil and gas wells on federally owned land.

The Independent Petroleum Association of America and the Western Energy Alliance were joined by Colorado, Wyoming, North Dakota and Utah in seeking to stop the new rules from taking effect. In his order granting the injunction, Judge Skavdahl ruled that federal agencies' only have authority to regulate hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, when the use of diesel fuel is involved.

I remember talking about this years ago, when I first started blogging, about the issue of diesel and the Clean Water Act. It's been a long time since this was brought up. I can't speak for Wyoming, but it's my understanding diesel is no longer used in North Dakota for fracking.

Update On TransCanada and Keystone XL

Bloomberg/Rigzone is reporting:

TransCanada Corp. is surrendering to an additional review of the Keystone XL oil pipeline and backing off from conflicts with Nebraska landowners as it struggles to win approval for the project.

Instead of waging court battles to cross privately owned land and trying to avoid a review by Nebraska’s Public Service Commission, TransCanada will withdraw lawsuits and seek approval from the regulator, the Calgary-based company said Tuesday. While that’s a development Keystone XL opponents had sought all along, the move promises to bring certainty to its route through the state, according to TransCanada.

Hope springs eternal.

This is a good explanation of what's going on. Note that the pipeline is now being described as an $8 billion pipeline. I think when this all started it was a $6 billion pipeline.

America's Oil Output Refuses to Collapse. Here's One Reason Why. - Rigzone -- September 30, 2015

America's Oil Output Refuses to Collapse. Here's One Reason Why. - Rigzone/Bloomberg is reporting:

Somewhere amid the maze of wells that Murphy Oil Corp. has scattered across Texas’s sprawling Eagle Ford shale formation, Brett Pennington is carrying out a little experiment.

What will happen, the exploration chief wants to know, when he jams huge quantities of sand down the narrow mouth of one of these wells. Will more crude seep out? Or, rather, will he smother the opening and choke off the flow?

For the experiment, he’s amped up the sand meter all the way to 3,000 pounds per foot, almost double the average that each well in the Eagle Ford gets nowadays. If Pennington’s project seems a bit extreme, it also serves to underscore a trend spreading rapidly across a shale industry that’s scrambling to remain profitable after oil prices sank 50 percent. More and more sand is getting stuffed down wells to try to better pry open the rock and bolster output.

Some of this is just a cost phenomenon. In the wake of crude’s selloff, the sand market collapsed too, driving down the price 30 percent and making it cheaper to shovel more grit in. The initiative, though, began years earlier, the result of engineers tinkering with inputs and discovering one of the many little technological breakthroughs that have helped the shale industry weather the downturn better than their legions of skeptics predicted. For proof of greater productivity, look no further than total U.S. output: It remains within 3 percent of a 40-year high even though drillers have idled more than half of their rigs.

"I can’t control the price of the commodity," Pennington said in a recent interview. "The only thing we can do is get better and faster and cheaper. There’s a general correlation that more sand equates to a better well."

The increase in sand usage has been steady. Back in 2012, the average well in the Eagle Ford received less than 1,000 pounds for every foot that the opening snaked down into the ground, according to energy consulting firm Wood Mackenzie Ltd. By 2013, that number was about 1,200 pounds. And last year it climbed to over 1,500 pounds. A study of more than 1,000 wells in the Eagle Ford -- a region that accounts for 15 percent of all U.S. oil output -- revealed that the injection of additional sand can triple output in some cases.

Sand, of course, has been used in the oil industry for decades. But the traditional vertical wells that dominated the landscape for much of that time needed little more than a sprinkling. The rock in those wells tends to be porous and permeable, allowing natural underground pressure to squeeze the oil up to the surface.

Shale rock is different. It’s more like concrete. Hydraulic fracking relies on large quantities of both sand and water to tease the oil out. The water is blasted into the well at high pressure to create tens of thousands of tiny cracks in the rock. The sand keeps the cracks open, elongates them and makes them more jagged. Increase the amount of sand and you increase the amount of fractures that stay open.

What Murphy Oil, EOG Resources Inc. and other shale drillers are trying to figure out is when does it become too much. At some point, all the fractures are propped open, and the extra sand just becomes a cost with no benefit. The Bloomberg Intelligence study indicated there are diminishing returns at the highest levels of sand use.

Worse yet, too much sand could wind up clogging the cracks instead of holding them open.

This Is How Serious President Obama Is About Global Warming -- September 30, 2015

This one article in Scientific American tells me how serious President Obama is about climate change (except as a political device).

It is being reported that the White House is "granting" a half million dollars to four states to "jump-start" off-shore intermittent energy.

Even as a money-laundering exercise ala Solyndra it's not even worth a footnote in the annals of intermittent energy.

It's embarrassing that this story was as long as it was in Scientific American, and one of the reasons I quit subscribing to this "journal" years ago.

By now, after decades of advocacy, an Agore PowerPoint presentation from 1994, and a gazillion dollars wasted trying to establish Cape Wind, we should be a lot farther along than just awarding $600,000 to a dozen universities to do some more research on how to jump-start wind energy.

If anything, President Obama should have just granted a billion dollars or so to GE to "just do it."

In North Dakota, $600,000 won't even get you a half-mile of pipeline on the reservation.

$600,000 will most likely go to six professors, to supplement their university/college salaries, book royalties, speaking fees, and other revenue sources.

Note: I often misread articles. It's possible I'm misreading "$600,000." That's such a small number in the big scheme of things, I must be missing something. Maybe it was the carrot that got six professors to show up at the White House to fill an otherwise empty room.

Random Thought

I don't have a bucket list. I always wondered why. It just dawned on me. Bucket lists are too constraining.

Bucket lists may be good while one is still working and planning for retirement but once one is truly retired, establishing a bucket list moves the individual out of retirement and back into a new "job."

Generally speaking my days are so busy I do not look forward to any of them. If I thought about all the things I had to do or am scheduled to do on any given day (mostly involving the granddaughters' sports and taking care of the 15-month-old), I would become depressed. So, I wake up each day, with no plans farther out than two hours. I would like to move that to one hour but when one's principle mode of transportation is a bicycle, one has to plan ahead two hours.

For example, tonight we are all going to a Texas Rangers - Detroit Tigers baseball game. The Rangers can clinch their division with a win and a Houston Astros loss. I have no desire to go and don't even want to think about going. But come 5:00 p.m. I will be the happiest guy in the world taking my two granddaughters and their friends to the stadium. I already have handouts on MLB to give them and then a short quiz.

Jack Kemp's Weekly Crude Oil, Natural Gas Update Tweets -- September 30, 2015; Propane Stocks -- Already Sky-High -- Hit New Record

California gasoline emergency is over as West Coast stockpiles return to normal levels.

West Coast refineries start to turn down now that gasoline stocks have returned to normal levels.

Propane stocks hit fresh record, residual fuel oil stocks continue to flat line. Comment: the propane charts will all re-set after this year -- it's quite incredible, the US energy revolution.

US distillate stocks flat at 151.6 million bbl but +26 million bbl above 2014 level and +19 million above 10-yr avg.

For The Granddaughters

I've pretty much completed The Neandertal Enigma: Solving the Mystery of Modern Human Origins, James Shreeve, c. 1995.

This is the second time through the book. I first read it several years ago.

It's not an easy book to read. It reads as if the author simply took all his notes and turned them into a book, sort of a published journal. If one is interested in following the activities of the various paleo-anthropologists in the late 20th century this might be one way to do it. But if one wants to get a better understanding of hominid / hominin evolution, I would simply recommend a wiki read.

The first third of the book on the genetics and the bones was quite good, though difficult to follow on many occasions. The second third on the stone age was somewhat boring, but that's probably "just me." I was never interested in the "three Bs" that defined the Upper Paleolithic: blades, bone tools, and burins (chisel-like implements made by knocking a spall or two off a flake).

I lost all interest by the time I got to the third section which dealt with evidence of tool-making and tool-using in primates other than humans. There is a huge jump between primates using twigs to grab ants and using fire to cook meat.

I see on Amazon a hard copy of this book is selling for $84.26. If anyone wants to buy my copy for $75, let me know.

It's hard to believe that every well that has come off the confidential list since, and including, 2011 has been posted on the blog. That's five years of data from the Bakken. With the transparency of the Bakken and the daily updates from the state, my hunch is that non-industry folks know more about the Bakken than any other oil basin in the world. It has probably created more mom-and-pop millionaires on a per capita basis than any other basin.
