Notes From All Over, Part 1 -- November 20, 2019

US shale rocks! US shale will keep breaking records -- oilprice. 

Europe, not dead yet. European car sales up almost 9% in October, 2019.

California to Texas migration continues. Apple starts construction on its $1-billion Austin campus.

Mark Perry talked about this years ago. Do we have another nominee for the Geico Rock Award? Jimmy Sengenberger enlightens us: how US student debt became such a big issue.

9:24 a.m. CT: daily activity report from yesterday still not posted. 

Graphic panic. This is a keeper. Warren Buffett probably has a copy hanging in his bedroom. Screenshot to follow.

End of an era. Re-posting. From Bloomberg via Rigzone --

California is one step away from banning drilling for oil in their state. Meanwhile, the state has commissioned a multi-million dollar study to find out why gasoline prices are so high (a study that is undertaken every several years, usually when a new governor takes office). I find the whole thing fascinating, if not bizarre.

Big plans: COP unveils its 10-year operational plan. From Rigzone.

• average annual CAPEX: less than $7 billion
• free cash flow of $50 billion
• anticipates annual production growth of three percent
• plans to seel 25% of its Alaska assets
• question: do they hold any "dead" assets in California; most likely

4% is not nearly enough. From Rigzone, update on Encana's proposed plan to flee Canada --

• one of its largest investors will vote against the producer's plan to moves its headquarters to the US
• this is the "Ovintiv" story -- previously posted
• moving to Denver, CO, if I recall correctly
• Canada has declared itself a "no-growth" country 

Only one piece missing: names of speakers. LOL.
