COP to sell Barnett shale assets, link at SeekingAlpha:
- to Lime rock Resources -- a very, very familiar name in the Bakken
- $230 million
- 9K boepd; 55% natural gas; 45% NGL
- 114,000 net acres
- $230 million / 114,000 = $2,000 / acre
- a proposal at this time: Seahorse Pipeline (August 17, 2018, update here)
- 700-mile pipeline; Cushing to St James, LA, refining complex
- also a separate export-capable liquids terminal near the mouth of the Mississippi River
- 30-inch-diameter Seahorse Pipeline
- 800,000 bopd
- similar to Tallgrass' Pony Express Pipeline (PXP)
- the PXP, 760 miles from Guernsey, WY, to Cushing, went into service into 2014
- from 850,000 bpd to 950,000 bpd
- by adding drag reducing agents will boost capacity by September, 2018
- also considering converting natural gas liquids pipeline to increase takeaway capacity in the Permian Basin
- consensus: 218K
- actual: 218 K
- increased by 1K week over week; inconsequential

RBN Energy: record high run rates in US refining industry.
While crude oil producers in the prolific Permian Basin are living out a Shale Revolution, the Midcontinent region of the U.S. is having a Refining Renaissance. Crude takeaway constraints, mainly due to insufficient pipeline capacity, are driving the prices of crude in Western Canada and West Texas to attractive lows against the WTI NYMEX benchmark for crude at the Cushing, OK, hub. Cheaper oil can contribute to bigger margins for refiners, who are supplying increasing volumes into a retail market that’s selling gasoline at the highest prices in four years. What will happen if the refiners don’t rein in their runs? Today, we’ll explore the implications of record-high run rates in the U.S. refining industry.
