The Bakken Morning Report -- March 9, 2020

Hey, y'all -- I'm trying to avoid watching the market and "everyone" is sending me screenshots of CNBC. All I want to know is this: is Rick Santelli on the trading floor? His comment(s) about coronavirus a couple of days ago ... I didn't see it live, but networks are reporting it ...

RBN Energy: crude prices tumble, OPEC+crumbles as COVID-19 spreads. What's next? Link here.
On Friday, global energy markets entered uncharted territory. Already facing declining demand due to the impact of COVID-19, markets then were dealt a body blow with the collapse of the OPEC-Plus alliance and the resulting prospect of a significant increase in supply. Saudi Arabia wanted to manage supply to balance against lower demand, but Russia was having none of it.
Instead, reports from the OPEC-Plus meeting indicate that Vladimir Putin has declared war on U.S. shale. Then on Saturday, the plot thickened. Saudi Arabia made huge cuts in the price of its crude oil, presumably in a high-stakes move to bring Russia back to the negotiating table. Even though we are witnessing unprecedented market conditions, it’s not Armageddon. Crude oil will continue to be pumped, piped, shipped and refined. Most infrastructure projects under construction before the collapse in oil prices will be completed. The big question is, how will the market adapt? In today’s blog, we’ll begin an exploration of that question.
