Week 3: January 13, 2019 -- January 19, 2019

Top story: There was only one non-energy story last week that captured the media; the wall

Top energy story: Without question, the top story of the week had to do with the surge in the price of WTI and the stories behind that story.
The story that simply disappeared: the Mexican fuel shortage; update here;

Surprise: Norway: 2019 oil production will drop to a 30-year low 

Geoff Simon's top ND energy stories:
  • tribal oil tax revision proposed (posted earlier on the blog)
  • ND production down slightly in November 
  • Williston, seat of the wealthiest county in the state, median income of $100,000, defeats a school bond issue -- speaks volumes (unfortunately)
  • legislators consider a ferry across Lake Sakakawea
