WTI: trends higher; closes slightly above $51. Was this the reason?
COP has not specified the reduction in crude volume, but combined with the Syncrude outage, up to 490K bbl/day, or nearly 20%, of the oil sands' 2.5M bbl/day of supply is potentially off the market; also, Suncor Energy's 180K bbl/day Firebag thermal plant is undergoing planned maintenance this quarter, adding to the shortage of heavy crude.

Hyperdrive
Hyperdrive
Enterprise Products Partners to expand ethylene projects. Data points from Zacks:
- EPD reusing a large, high-capacity ethylene storage well at its Mont Belview, TX, complex
- on completion of this project (as earl as 3Q18), the 5.2 million-bbl facility will be able to inject/withdraw ethylene at the rate of 2,000 bbls per hour
- expandable to 4,000 bbls per hour
- there are seven third-party ethylene pipelines within two miles of the ethylene well; considerable connectivity capability
- EPD will construct a new 24-mle, 12-inch diameter ethylene pipeline to connect Mont Belvieu ot Bayport, TX; will link sites south of the Houston Ship Channel to Mont Belvieu
- much more at the link
The Apple Page
Huge news over at Apple.
Link here. More on this later.
Many things mentioned. What caught me was Apple's decision to return to Apple-branded displays, something they gave up less than a year ago. I tried to "rationalize" the decision, and accept it, but deep down I thought Apple had made a huge, huge mistake. Apparently they realized they had. It kind of reminds me of the "New Coke" debacle.
