The Market And Energy Page, T+291; COP For Investors -- November 8, 2017

COP: COP/CEO was just on CNBC. Had I  missed it, I would not have missed anything. This is as good as the interview for those interested in COP:

• says committed to returns-focused strategy regardless of commodity price improvement
• says plans to exceed original oil production forecast despite capital budget cut
• says no water-borne oil exports from United States in third quarter
• says 'quite possible' might see quarterly distribution from Australia Pacific LNG joint venture in fourth quarter
• says does plan to start cutting stake in Cenovus Energy Inc after lock-up period ends in November
• says currently producing more than 30,000 barrels/day of oil in Libya
• says all gas from Australia Pacific LNG that's not sold domestically is under long-term contracts to customers in China and Japan
• says some Australia Pacific LNG customers exercised right to not take up to 10 percent of contracted cargos, making some LNG available for spot sale in 2018 Source text
