Random Update On Austin Chalk, East Texas -- July 10, 2016

Pantheon Resources announced it has permission to frack VOS #1, Tyler County, onshore East Texas. This will provide valuable data regarding the "independent" Austin Chalk zone, above the discovered Eagleford sandstone section.

I track the Austin Chalk here.

Cuba Impacted By Venezuela's Woes

From Reuters, data points:
  • Cuba-Venezuela: a 15-year oil assistance program
  • Venezuela will cut exports to Cuba
  • signals an unraveling of that 15-year assistance program
  • Cuba: reliant on Venezuela -- its top energy supplier
  • this year: 53,500 bopd from Venezuela, a 40% cut since 1H15
  • Cuba receives 4% of Venezuela's total oil exports
  • Cuba was the last to feel the impact; earlier: Uruguay, Jamaica, Dominican Republic
  • on top of everything else, it's the type of oil that makes the problem worse
  • Cuba has been getting Mesa 30 oil, a medium weight oil 
  • Venezuela needs Mesa 30 oil as a diluent for his heavy oil refining
  • Venezuela needs to cut exports of Mesa 30, the very oil Cuba nees
  • forecast: Venezuela production will fall to lowest level since a devastating strike at PDVSA in 2002/2003
