RBN Energy: MPLX's BANGL, fracs and exports plan. Archived.
Over the past two years, MPLX has been ramping up its midstream development activity in the Lone Star State, or more specifically in the “Permian-to-Gulf” market, where it’s been building or buying into gathering systems, gas processing plants, and crude and natural gas takeaway pipelines, among other things.
Marathon Petroleum Corp.’s midstream-focused master limited partnership also has been in hot pursuit of a number of possible NGL-related projects, including MPLX’s proposed Belvieu Alternative NGL (BANGL) Pipeline and three big fractionation plants in the Sweeny, TX, area, and a planned LPG export terminal in Texas City, TX.
As a group, these projects would require millions of barrels of underground salt-cavern storage capacity for y-grade and NGL purity products along the Texas coast, as well as multiple pipeline connections to move the stuff to where it needs to be.
Today, we continue our series on Gulf Coast NGL storage with a look at the NGL side of the MLP’s Permian-to-Gulf strategy.
RBN Energy: Plains All American's Cactus II ramps up Corpus deliveries.
t’s safe to say that Permian producers had a good Christmas. Sure, their stock prices may be off a bit and their rig counts are down. But the absolute prices they are paid for their crude oil are up by almost $20/bbl versus this time in December 2018, and the price spreads between the Permian and neighboring markets have significantly narrowed as a result. What’s driving this change? There are a variety of factors at play, but chief among them is the new pipeline infrastructure that has helped lift Permian producers’ oil price realizations. Today, we check in on the status of one of the major new pipelines that have contributed to the seismic shift in the Permian oil market this year.
Shale bust redux.
For those who subscribe to The WSJ, you probably saw the "as shale wells age, gap between forecasts and performance grows" by Rebecca Elliott and Christopher M. Matthews. If the story sounds familiar, it's because it is. This this has been previously posted. From the same writers, almost exactly one year ago, January 2, 2019, also in The WSJ, "fracking's secret problem -- oil wells aren't producing as much as forecast." And then again, September 29, 2019, by the same two writers, RE and CMM, "shale boom is slowing just when the world needs oil most."  Really? Two final nominees for the Geico Rock Award for 2019.

Reply: in Forbes, September 6, 2019, Dan Eberhart had a nice reply, "no, shale's not dying, it's just maturing."

Busy, Busy Day Today?

Unless I'm missing something, the NDIC has not posted IPs for wells coming off the confidential list two Saturdays ago (since Saturday, December 21, 2019). I just checked and going back to December 21, 2019, these wells are still listed as yet to come off the confidential list. It could be a very, very busy day. And I had planned to go to the movies with my wife today. Wow.
