The Permian Could Be A Disaster For Some Operators In The Short Term -- June 18, 2018

On June, 2018, this "headline" at the blog:
Reading Between The Lines, The Permian Could Be A Disaster For Some Operators In The Short Term (One To Two Years) Including Apache 
Now, over at oilprice.com: Permian discount could rise to $20 per barrel.

I'm not sure it was even that bad for the Bakken during the early days when takeaway capacity was lacking.

From the article:
That only magnifies the recent conclusion that some analysts have come to, which is that the Permian is now made up of “Haves” and “Have Nots.” That is, shale companies that have lined up pipeline capacity under contract should emerge from this period unscathed, while those shale companies, often smaller ones, that have failed to secure pipeline space are suffering from the discounts. Goldman has Buy ratings for Occidental Petroleum, Pioneer Natural Resources and WPX Energy because of either secure pipeline contracts or because production is hedged at fixed prices for the next year.
Goldman Sachs analysts recently met with Permian producers, and came to the conclusion that drilling activity has not slowed all that much. Even for a handful of drillers without secure pipeline space, the fact that oil prices have moved up significantly over the past year means that they still think they will spend within their cash flow, even after taking into account the discounts. Obviously, the shale industry is not monolithic, and some drillers are leaving open the option to cutback, but Goldman said one of its key takeaways was that the pace of drilling is continuing at a high rate.
No companies are mentioned by name in this article, unless I missed something.

  1. Amazing blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers?
    I'm hoping to start my own website soon but I'm
    a little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting
    with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option?
    There are so many choices out there that I'm completely overwhelmed ..
    Any tips? Cheers!

    1. That I cannot answer. I prefer the "free platforms," but my hunch is most folks would be better off with those platforms that have a fee.

  3. With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into
    any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement? My website has
    a lot of exclusive content I've either written myself or outsourced but it
    seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know
    any techniques to help prevent content from being ripped off?
    I'd truly appreciate it.

  4. 1. Quite a few sites take my posts and re-post them in their entirety. There is no way to stop it.

    2. With regard to plagiarism and/or copyright infringement, my understanding is "fair use" clause and that's why everything is linked. I do know there are efforts to stop "fair use" clause on the internet.

    3. But no answers for your questions.
