Week 37: September 13, 2015 -- September 19, 2015

This has been a very interesting week for those who enjoy reading tea leaves. There are reports out there that clearly suggest Saudi Arabia is ready to ... well, I don't know what they are ready to do ... apparently they have clearly stated that they have destroyed the US shale gas industry, but I don't know what that means for Saudi Arabia. The production numbers coming out of the Bakken and the number of new permits this past week certainly doesn't suggest the Bakken is dead. But in the big scheme of things, I suppose, not much has changed, and most of us still think it's going to get much worse before it gets better.
