Weekly Edition Of "Focus On Fracking" -- Posted -- September 13, 2020

Link here.

Some data points (some from the link, some are mine):

  • oil prices: tanked
  • natural gas prices: not much better -- down 12% for the week;
  • natural gas in storage: the gap between current amount in storage and the five-year maximum has widened ever so slightly
  • US daily supply of oil: a staggering 12.5 million bbls per day -- daily supply of oil "net of our trade in oil and from well production"
  • fudge factor to balance supply and consumption: +547,000bopd
  • US crude oil production: rounded to 12.4 million bopd
    • almost 20% below that of a year ago
    • but, almost 20% more than the interim low of 8.4 million bopd at the end of June, 2016
  • US refineries operating at 72% of their capacity: decreased week-over-week, most likely due to Hurricane Laura
  • US distillate in storage: incredible; even after this week's inventory decrease, our distillate supplies at the end of the week were still 29.1% above the 136,226,000 barrels of distillates that we had in storage on September 6th, 2019, and about 20% above the five year average of distillates stocks for this time of the year
  • most striking: commercial supplies of crude oil in storage was 26% more than what was in storage in 2018 at the same time this year -- remember all those stories about running out of storage space? haven't seen any of those stories lately;

Week-over-week, perhaps not much of a change, but from a historical point of view, these numbers are absolutely amazing.

From a reader, these are photos of Cyclone 34 drilling J-ROC1 1 for Minnkota Power Coop:

They show Cyclone Drilling #34 drilling the geologic test well on the plant site. You can see a BNI coal dragline working in the upper right, and the Oliver 3 wind farm on the horizon as well.

Yes, I agree. It will be more fun when she is actually back in school with her friends.

Carbon Tax On Coal Estimate Drops -- Trending Toward Zero -- Source -- September 13, 2020

Project Tundra Sets Up Second Test Well -- Source -- September 13, 2020

The story:

  • test well rig just south of the main plant at the Milton R. Young Station
  • plant's owner: Minnkota Power Cooperative
  • first-of-its-kind CO2 capture and storage initiative
  • legislative leaders shown a table of boxes filled with rock core samples from well drilled this summer four miles to the northwest

No doubt it was the table of boxes filled with rocks that swayed them.
