The Market, Energy, And Political Page, T+28 -- June 28, 2018 -- LSS -- The DAPL-Bakken -- Now Flirting With $80/Bbl -- Jumps $3.68/Bbl -- We're Off To The Races

Note: DAPL-Bakken oil is now priced at a premium to every other oil I can find.

Oil operators have not reported a completed DUC in months. I assume they have reported a few, but if so, there haven't been many. Whatever the number of DUCs reported as completed in the past month or so, it's trivial. I think regular readers can connect the dots. I started talking about it a couple of weeks ago. 

Holy mackerel: WTI surges -- now over $73 -- who wudda thought. Remember, just a few months ago, trading around $55.
  • WTI: $73.89
  • Brent: $77.96
  • West Canadian Select: $49.76
  • Louisiana Light (LLS), a DAPL-Bakken proxy: $79.91
  • OPEC basket: $74.31
But look at this, the jump in prices today:
  • Louisiana Light (LLS), a DAPL-Bakken proxy: surges $3.68/bbl
  • OPEC basket: up $1.62
  • WTI: in comparison, jumps only 82 cents
The race is on:

The Race Is On, George Jones
