Week 42: October 15, 2017 -- October 21, 2017

There was more and more talk this past week that the Saudi Aramco IPO was in deep trouble, some calling it a "real mess." Saudi Arabia is in a fight for its life and the princes are fighting each other. This was just one of several posts on the subject.

Meanwhile, in the US, the oil and gas sector keeps chugging along. US crude oil storage capacity is soaring. I remember when folks used to talk about storage capacity at Cushing becoming a problem; not so much any more.

WTI briefly touched $52/bbl -- probably due to Iraqi-Kurdish conflict -- and then dropped back to $51.

Also, in the US, Haynesville, once thought to be dying, is surging. A new USGS survey reveals that Haynesville has almost half what Qatar has (natural gas)

Best posts all week: the Brits don't understand the US shale revolution; and, the Brits don't understand the US shale revolution.
