Week 39: September 24, 2017 -- September 30, 2017

End of the third quarter, 2017.

US petroleum demand was the highest for any August since 2007. US crude oil inventories decreased slightly but re-balancing will still take 46 weeks at the current rate of drawdown.

The Permian pretty much stops all that talk about peak oil.

Harold Hamm opines that the EIA is mis-forecasting US crude oil production growth for next year; WTI climbs to $52 before dropping back to $51 and change.
