Ares Management Acquires Paradigm Energy Partners -- September, 6, 2018

An alert, eagle-eyed reader caught this next story. I'm impressed.

Go back to this 2014 post for the background to this story:
Phillips 66 Partners and Paradigm Energy Partners announce midstream logistics joint ventures: Co and Paradigm Energy Partners, LLC announce that they have executed agreements to form two joint ventures to develop midstream logistics infrastructure in North Dakota. Consisting of two previously announced projects, the Sacagawea Pipeline and Palermo Rail Terminal, the joint ventures are designed to enhance logistical options for crude oil transportation in the Bakken region.
From an earlier press release:
The Sacagawea Pipeline project is being developed to deliver crude oil from various points south of Lake Sacagawea in and around Johnson's Corner and Keene, in McKenzie County, North Dakota, to destinations with takeaway options for both rail and pipe in Palermo and Stanley, N.D.
SPC has received significant shipper interest in committing to the project, and based on such, anticipates receiving sufficient shipper commitments to proceed with the project.  All potential customers will have an equal opportunity to obtain capacity in the project and must submit binding commitments prior to the conclusion of the open season process.
More at the link.

Now, today we have this story, sent in, as I noted, a very, very alert reader. From a press release:
Ares Management, L.P. (NYSE:ARES) announced today that funds managed by Ares EIF, its power and infrastructure strategy, have closed on the acquisition of substantially all of the assets and business interests of Paradigm Energy Partners from an affiliate of Stonepeak Infrastructure Partners.
The Paradigm assets will be combined with Ares EIF’s adjacent Van Hook Gathering System, which it acquired in 2015, to form a premier regional midstream platform serving the core of the Williston Basin in North Dakota, with additional reach into the prolific Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas.
The combined entity, which will continue to be known as Paradigm, will continue to be operated by Paradigm’s existing management team and employee base.
The acquisition consists of two oil and natural gas gathering systems in North Dakota and a third in South Texas, along with joint venture interests in the Sacagawea Pipeline Company and various logistics assets in North Dakota.
By year end 2018, the combined company is expected to transport nearly 50,000 barrels of oil and 23 million cubic feet of gas per day from 11 contracted customers in North Dakota and Texas.

US Gasoline Inventories Soar; Crude Oil Has A Substantial Draw -- But It Must Be The Gasoline Inventories That Drove A 2% Drop In The Price Of WTI -- September 6, 2018

Updates

September 7, 2018: But take a look at this. Reuters suggests US crude oil stockpile decline -- more than expected last week -- is a bullish sign --  
U.S. crude stockpiles fell more than expected last week, while gasoline and distillate inventories rose.

Crude inventories fell 4.3 million barrels in the week to August 31, 2018, compared with analysts' expectations for a decrease of 1.3 million barrels. The decline brought stockpiles to 401.49 million barrels, the lowest levels since February 2015.
Stocks at the Cushing, Oklahoma, delivery hub for U.S. crude futures rose by 549,000 barrels, EIA said.
"The large crude oil inventory drawdown makes for a bullish report, despite the appreciable gains in refined product inventory levels," said John Kilduff, a partner at Again Capital Management in New York.
Refiners' demand for crude oil and drivers' demand for gasoline remain supportive of the market, with gasoline demand remaining near the highest levels of the season, he said. Still, he cautioned that rising stockpiles at Cushing were somewhat bearish.
 Original Post

This is certainly weird and proves the rule: predicting the price of oil is a fool's errand.

WTI falls 2% even though the EIA reports a substantial crude oil draw.
  • US crude oil inventory draw of 4.3 million bbls; inventories now stand at 401.5 million bbls; my threshold = 400 million bbls; we're practically there
  • refineries operating at only 96.6% capacity
  • gasoline production decreased a bit last month; now averaging less than 10 million bbls/day over the past four weeks
  • distillate fuel, on the other hand, is up about 3% over the past four weeks
  • but jet fuel is the big story (and a lot of CO2 emissions): jet fuel product supplied was up over 5% compared with same four-week period last year
  • but this is what is probably driving crude oil down in price today: total motor gasoline inventories increased by 1.8 million bbls last week -- an astounding 7% above the 5-year average for this time of the year -- with that inventory, one would think refineries will request less crude oil going forward, and already refinery are operating at less than 97% capacity after recently being near 99%
