The Market And Energy Page, T+143 -- June 12, 2017

Not unexpected:

Annual reports of 68 publicly traded oil companies indicated that their aggregate proved liquids reserves declined in 2016 for the second consecutive year.

The decline in proved reserves was heavily concentrated in a few companies that reduced their estimated reserves from Canadian oil sands projects.

Downward revisions of existing resources, relatively low extensions and discoveries, and relatively high production also contributed to a decline in proved reserves.

Collectively, their global crude oil and other liquids production averaged 24 million barrels per day during 2016, or about 25% of the global total. --- EIA

TSLA: if the tech index continues to fall or remains sluggish, it could not come at a worse time for Tesla. Everything I've read suggests the company will need a huge amount of cash to "ramp up" -- which the company said they planned to do in July, 2017, although as recently as two weeks ago, I've heard analysts suggest the "ramp up" is moving to the right, as "July/August, 2017."

Stepping down: for the archives, GE's Immelt is stepping down.

Incredible timing: US approves GE-BHI merger; EC approved the merger earlier. Done deal. Stand-alone GE-BHI company wholly owned by GE. Will still have ticker symbol BHI. Folks talk about GE spinning off companies now that GE has a new CEO whose specialty at GE was "deal-making." 

Kennedys: they can still see snow! It's snowing in Hell Hole (Donner Summit), CA today. For the archives. The "Global Warming - 2016 - 2017" tag will advance to the "new year" on July 1, 2017.
