Oil Production Per Rig -- EIA Data May Be Very, Very Wrong -- April 2, 2018

I apologize to a reader for the late response / delayed posting of his note. The reader sent me two notes regarding my post regarding "oil production per rig."

In the first note, the reader wrote: I read somewhere using Oil Production Per Rig as a metric for the Permian was inaccurate because so many newly drilled wells go into DUC status.

He then backed up that statement with a link to this site: https://btuanalytics.com/eia-drilling-productivity-report-misleading-market/: EIA driling production report misleading the market, dated July 25, 2017.

My hunch is that the reader is completely correct. But if this is the way the EIA is calculating rig efficiency, wow -- talk about huge mistake. It certainly misconstrues everything.

Very, very bothersome.

WTI Takes A Breather -- April 2, 2018

No new permits but fifteen wells approved for "tight hole" status including thirteen (13) CLR Jersey and Jersey Federal wells in Mountrail County.

Fourteen permits renewed:

CLR (13): thirteen Jersey Federal / Jersey permits in Mountrail County
SHD: one Maya permit in McLean County

That was all.

The Market And Energy Page, T+34, Part 2 -- April 2, 2018 -- Hello Kitty, Sixteen Reasons And Tim Cook Has Steve Jobs' DNA

Wow, I could not be in a better mood.

1. The market is playing out perfectly for savers and for those invested in companies paying nice (and safe) dividends.

2. For traders and long term investors, the market seldom gives us so many buying opportunities. There have been two recent buying opportunities: a) the Friday before last (March 23, 2018?); and, b) today.

3. Earnings are coming out. Energy companies earnings, year-over-year, are going to be spectacular. Whether that is already "baked into" the price of shares is hard to say.

4. The narrative has flipped: four weeks ago, "everyone" was upset with Trump's tariffs. Now, most agree that tariffs against China are entirely legitimate.

5. The Chinese, tit-for-tat, places tariffs on 128 products. It was probably not a good idea for the Chinese to do this, but it is what it is. My hunch: Trump will let it ride. With regard to tariffs, it looks like Trump knows what he is doing.

6. Some worry about inflation. I'm not. But if there is inflation, it will not affect the average consumer. It may affect corporations, but corporations got such a great tax break, the risk of inflation and the cost of doing business (interest payments) will be offset by the tax break.

7. Apple, Inc., discontinues it relationship with Intel. Good move for Apple.

8. The graphics on an earlier post regarding the "southern wall" will be the gift(s) that keep on giving. Trump says he got less than he wanted with regard to the "southern wall" in the omnibus bill; that's in the eye of the beholder. I would argue that he got more than he expected.

9. Sixteen reasons (which have now become twenty-five) are still in place (there may be some exceptions; I haven't checked the 25 reasons lately).

10. Steve Jobs had many quirks. Tim Cook inherited some of that DNA. Two quirks:

Jobs hated moving parts
Jobs hated not owning the entire process from start to finish

Moving parts? That's why his computers did not have cooling fans (he also hated noise). That's why he eliminated hard drives as fast as he could.
Owning the entire process from start to finish? Without question, the most difficult piece of the puzzle to solve when building computers -- building the chip. It's not easy. But apparently Apple has that figured out also. Starting in 2020, Apple plans to use its own chips, and will no longer use Intel chips.

Easter Moustache

One year ago before her mom (our daughter) packed away the Easter "stuff," the middle granddaughter adulterated one of the "Hello Kitty" stuffed toys. Her mom did not notice. Her "Hello Kitty" collection is sacrosanct.

This year, opening up the "Hello Kitty" collection for Easter, our daughter found the enclosed, see photo below. She was NOT happy. The rest of us are still laughing.

For those who are not familiar with "Hello Kitty," no, they do not have moustaches.

The Legacy Fund: Investments And Return On Investments; March Deposits Posted -- April 2, 2018

Finally, we have some numbers. A huge thanks to the reader who sent me this link. I read the headline of the article but did not read any of the article itself. I was only interested in the fund's investments and return on those investments:

Legacy Fund deposits for March, 2018, link here:

Comments:

The March, 2018, deposit of $57 million exceeds the average monthly deposit of every year except during the boom years of 2013 and 2014.

Perhaps a bit over-weighted in bonds but that's fine. But at a 4% return, that's not bad.

The Permian may be a bigger oil play than the Bakken but clearly, the Bakken will have a greater effect on North Dakota than the Permian will have on Texas.

Winter Wonderland

My sister just sent me this video from the family's view overlooking Flathead Lake, Montana.

WinterWonderland

Coincidentally, I watched bit of the old movie classic, Holiday Inn, the 1942 movie with Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby. This is a movie I could never imagine sitting through in its entirety, but for background, while doing something else, it's nice to have it playing (once in awhile).

I was blown away by the "blackface" segment. I had no idea. Perhaps that is because the scene is often removed when shown on cable television. Link here. Sounds like the US needs a "Board of Correct Thoughts." Now that there is no need for the military draft board, maybe those folks could move over to the "Board of Correct Thoughts" and decide what can be shown / not shown in local communities.

Having said that, the scene that bothered me the most (remember, I only saw about twenty minutes of the entire film so there may be other scenes that would bother me even more)? But the scene that bothered me the most: Fred Astaire dancing under the influence -- and a lot of influence -- of alcohol. I wasn't really paying attention so I don't know how that scene moved the plot forward.

Let's see if anyone comments on that seen on social media. Commence googling.

I am aghast. Dance Teacher considers that scene the #1 dance scene in all of moviedom. Link here. Just what kids needs to watch Friday afternoon before the high school prom. From the link:

But for my money, the real holiday tour-de-force is Fred Astaire’s drunk dance in Holiday Inn. He’s just SO GOOD: His plastered dance moves seem uncannily real, yet he still retains the grace and smoothness we’ve come to associate with his style.

Comments at that site on that pick: zero. Nada. Nil. Zilch. I'm surprised.

The Ledecky Page -- April 2, 2018

The importance of this story is not the fact that Katie Ledecky is turning pro, but rather that she got this much coverage in The Washington Post.

“It’s rare that an athlete turns pro and they have a business on Day 1,” Levy said. “We feel we have the luxury — and Katie feels this way, too — in being very strategic and trying to put together a plan first and then find the right partner companies that fit what she wants to do moving forward.”

In other words, Ledecky won’t race into partnerships for a quick paycheck. She’ll have some leverage and can seek long-term deals, perhaps looking for companies that might want to stick with her for the next Olympic cycle as well.

The Sailing Page

Captain Cook, Alistair MacLean, c. 1972

We Are Sailing, Rod Stewart
James Cook: 1728 - 1779

Three global voyages:

1768 - 1771
1772 - 1775
1776 - 1779 (killed in Hawaii

Prologue

Nelson and Cook are the two most revered names in the annals of the Royal Navy.

Chapter 1: The Able Seaman

the greatest combination of seaman, explorer, navigator and cartographer that the world has known
born in 1728; obscure village in Yorkshire
apprenticed to John and Henry Walker, shipowners, Whitby, specialized in the colliery trade
participated in the US revolutionary war
left Canada for the last time in 1767

Chapter 2: The Vanishing Continent

to observe the passage of Venus between the sun and earth on 3 June 1769
previous voyage, 1762, unsatisfactory to useless
Royal Society now wanted to try it again
but the real reason: Royal Navy's admiralty attempt to stifle French colonialism
a third reason: at the time, a widely held belief that there was a very large continent in the southern hemisphere, a temperate continent that extended up almost to South America and New Zealand; occupied most of the south Pacific
the Earl of Pembroke, a Whitby collier; renamed the Endeavor Bark, but no one ever called her anything but the Endeavor
100 souls on board
plan to view the transit of Venus at Tahiti, which was fine, as long as Cook turned south to look for the big continent
Plymouth to Madeira, September 13; to South America, to Cape Horn
January 12, 1769: incredibly bleak desolation that is Tierra del Fuego
through the Le Maire Strait and round Cape Horn
April 13, 1769, eight months after leaving England, arrived at Tahiti

Chapter 3: Charting New Zealand

Tahiti and transit of Venus
six weeks at Tahiti
then, the secret mission: to turn south -- go as far south as latitude 40 degrees in search of the Southern Continent
1,500 miles south; to 40 degrees south
frustrated that nothing was found; Alexander Dalrymple's theory was badly dented
then they spotted what was to be called New Zealand
Cook knew it was New Zealand; New Zealand was known to exist but that was about all
Tasman, the only other Pacific explorer who came anywhere near Cook's stature as a navigator and seaman, had visited New Zealand 126 years earlier -- epic voyage from Batavia in the Dutch East Indies, to the discovery of Tasmania -- Tasman assumed it was joined to Australia
no one had seen New Zealand since Tasman
Tasman did not circle New Zealand; did not know it was an island; did not even investigate the passage between North and South Island, now known as Cook Strait
first Europeans to set foot on New Zealand; Tasman did not set foot on New Zealand; Maoris were unremittingly hostile
Maoris still hostile
Poverty Bay: three times Cook tried to stay on land; never successful; sailed away
Cape Runaway
the exploration and charting of New Zealand continues

Chapter 4: Australia and the Great Barrier Reef

three ways home
by way of Cape Horn -- long and dangerous passage; south side of Australia
via the Cape of Good Hope -- not interested; had already been done by Tasman
up eastern coast of Australia, west south of New Guinea, and south of Malaysia/Indonesia to Cape of Good Hope
Bass Strait
the Great Barrier Reef
Batavia: Djakarta, after the Dutch lost control of the East Indies after WWII
Cape Town, March 14, 1771
arrives England, July 12, 1771

Chapter 5: Antarctica and Polynesia

upon return, Cook promoted to Commander and given command of the HMS Scorpion
prepared for a new expedition to the South Seas
still looking for that Southern Continent
two more Whitby collier-type vessels purchased for the trip
departed July 13, 1772, almost exactly one year later
returned to England, July 30, 1775, after slightly more than three years
it was, and still remains, the greatest voyage of exploration in history (this book was c. 1972, three years after Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon, 1969)

Chapter 6: The North-West Passage

upon return, made a Fellow of the Royal Society
given the Copley Gold Medal (advancement of health; scurvy)
promoted to post-captain in command of HMS Kent, a 74-gun cruiser
the Admiralty turned attention to the North-West Passage; had tried before
1742: a Swede serving in the Russian Navy, had established that a strait existed between Asia and what is now known as Alaska
two-pronged attack: one from the Atlantic Ocean; one from the Pacific Ocean
the Atlantic approach: the frigate Lion
the Pacific approach: the Resolution and the Discovery (a new one, another Whitby collier)
July 12, 1776, four years after the end of the previous voyage; set sails for the Pacific
to Tahiti
to the Friendly Islands in April; remained there until mid-July, 1777; stayed there because the Admiralty set the date for the Atlantic prong to meet up with the Pacific prong in the summer of 1778
December 7, 1777: discovers a new island; names it Christmas Island
January 18, 1778: sighted Hawaii -- Cook called them the two westernmost islands the Sandwich Islands after his friend, patron and First Lord, the Earl of Sandwich -- but they are now known as the Hawaiian Islands
February 2, 1778: headed northeast for New Albion -- the west coast of North America; reached it March 6, 21778, between the 44th and 45th parallel
due to foul weather missed both the mouth of the Columbia River and Juan de Fuca Strait, which leads up to present city of Vancouver
up to Alaska
unable to find the North-West Passage; ice setting in
returned to the Sandwich Islands, arriving there October 24, 1778
Cook deified by the Hawaiians upon his arrival
but problems arose
Cook taken prisoner by the Hawaiians
clubbed/killed by Koa, the high priest
Cook was 50 years old
buried at sea, February 22, 1779
the Resolution and the Discovery tried on more time to find the North-West Passage; unsuccessful
returned to England, October 4, 1780

Going Biking After This Post -- April 2, 2018

From a contributor over at SeekingAlpha:

investors who take it for granted that electric cars are cheaper to run, need to think again
a comparison between Tesla Model 3 and the three leading hybrid cars of calendar year 2018 from Toyota, Honda and Hyundai proves otherwise
at the current typical Supercharger price of $0.24 per kWh, a Tesla Model 3 is $0.06 per mile. At the current gasoline price of $2.65, the 50+ MPG hybrids are $0.05 per miletThen you have to add that the Model 3 has at best half the range and takes at least 10-20x as long to recharge that inferior range
of course, the Model 3 also costs twice as much, and you have to assign an approximate $1,000 per year to battery depreciation, alone more than driving on gasoline for a year

But, hey, a Tesla looks really, really cool.

Incredible! What I've Been Waiting For! Zeits On Global Crude Oil Re-Balancing -- April 2, 2018

I have a pretty good feeling for the crude oil inventory story here in the states. I have no idea with regard to global inventories. My hunch: we're being sold a bogus story, similar to the bogus story we're being sold in the US.

So, now, Richard Zeits comes to the rescue. I haven't read it. Here is the link. I'll read it and come back with comments, if the spirit moves me.

Zeits' summary:

OPEC's latest report suggests that the market for crude will be undersupplied by ~0.4 million barrels per day in 2018
However, the forecast appears based on the assumption of anemic production growth in the U.S.
OPEC's forecast appears to be in strong disagreement with the EIA's forecast

My summary:

OPEC: talking its book -- Saudi Aramco -- global supply will be undersupplied
OPEC: underestimating EIA's numbers and "forecast"

The question: what leads OPEC to underestimate the EIA"s numbers?

OPEC is correct -- global supply will be undersupplied
OPEC is wrong

OPEC is knowingly misleading for their own benefit
OPEC honestly doesn't understand US oil industry

********************************

Comments.

This is the bottom line, worst case scenario -- OPEC's estimate -- "the global market will be undersupplied by 0.4 million bbls per day in 2018." That's the best OPEC can do? LOL.

"Millions" seems like a huge number -- especially on a "per day" basis.

But the "number" is not "millions." It is a paltry 400,000 bbls/day. That's against 100 million bbls of production daily. 400,000 / 100,000,000 = 4/1,000 = 0.4%.

Not only is that a rounding error, but if anyone thinks anyone can calculate the amount of oil sloshing around in tankers, pipelines, rail cars to that degree of accuracy ... is, well ... should I say, nuts?

Let's just take the Bakken alone. Currently producing 1.1 million bbls/day. "Everyone" predicts that the Bakken will set new production records this summer. New records mean that the Bakken (North Dakota) will produce in excess of 1.2 million bbls/day. North Dakota alone will add 100,000 bbls/day without breaking a sweat.

I've dropped the bubble for the Permian, but I'll let readers correct me. The Permian currently produces about 2.5 million bbls/day and will easily ramp to 3 million bopd by the end of the year (2018). And that's just the Permian.

Let's add in Kashagan. Mexico's Gulf of Mexico. The US Gulf of Mexico. Let's add in Exxon's Guyana. Add in "Statoil's" new push off shore Norway. Subtract out Libya (inconsequential). Subtract out Venezuela (inconsequential). Both Libya and Venezuela will be offset by Canadian production if push comes to shove.

Bottom line: if the best OPEC can do is "threaten" a shortfall of 400,000 bbls/day this year -- this is great news for consumers, but not necessarily great news for oil bulls.

Other data points from the article:

the OPEC "over-supply" number of 400,000 bopd, by the way, was reduced from its earlier month estimate, 600,000 bopd
OPEC estimates 2018 crude oil demand growth will be equal to that of 2017: 1.6 million bopd
OPEC: total oil demand will be 98.6 million bopd in 2018
OPEC production for 2018:

OPEC estimates: for 2018, now predicts supply to be 32.6 million bopd, down from 32.9 million bopd
secondary sources: OPEC's crude oil production in February, 2018, declined to 32.19 million bopd from 32.26 million bopd in January, 2018, driven in great part by another big drop in Venezuela's volumes (32.26 - 32.19 = 70,000 bbls (seriously? - these numbers are taken seriously?

OPEC anticipates US crude oil production will grow by 0.52 million bopd from December, 2017, to December, 2018

My bottom line:

the numbers don't matter
what matters is perception
OPEC needs to persuade analysts that there will be an imbalance, with demand exceeding supply
nowhere in the article is current global supply mentioned
in the US: crude oil supply sits at slightly less than 30 days
globally: crude oil supply is approaching 70 days

Forecast for US crude oil production:

Venezuela imports (US), weekly, most recent data reported by EIA through the fourth week of March (about as current as one can get). Can someone please point out the huge drop in Venezuela exports to the US?

704,000 bopd most recently vs 439,000 bopd one month ago
704,000 bopd most recently vs 506,000 bopd the previous week
704,000 bopd is the most since the second week in November, 2017
Venezuela's exports to the US were down to 174,000 bopd in the third week of February, 2018, just a bit over a month ago

My two cents worth. The only case/hope for $75 Brent (currently $68 and falling) is

increased global demand (fairly unlikely), AND;
OPEC-Russia alliance remains intact (50-50 chance of succeeding through 2019), AND;
Venezuela's case worsens (unlikely), AND;
Canada shuts down its oil industry, AND ...

Later, 10:32 p.m. Central Time: without outside support, this 1,000-person group won't get farther north than Mexico City; tonight the group is in Santiago Niltepec. It is 1,000 miles from Santiago Niltepect to Laredo, TX. Probably two miles/hour x 8 hours = 20 miles/day = 50 days. Without children they would go faster, but the longer they go, the slower they go.

Later, 10:24 p.m. Central Time: food for thought; every president has a defining moment/ there is still plenty of time for social media and anti-US interests to turn this 1,000-person "caravan" of Hondurans coming through Mexico into a million-person march on Nogales or Laredo or El Paso.

Later, 5:30 p.m. Central Time: my hunch is that President Trump has many, many quivers in his arrow (or is it, "many arrows in his quiver" - LOL) if he decides to "punish Mexico for the horde of 1,000's coming to the southern border. He will surgically hit Mexico without hurting American business to extent possible. Shutting down the US Embassy in Mexico City might be a good first start.
