Re-Posting: Pending DAPL Decision -- Wednesday, April 14, 2021

If DAPL shutdown were to occur:

  • CLR says it would not be affected; doesn't ship on the DAPL;
  • CLR says it would affect Bakken light sweet by $1 - $2 / bbl:
  • operators shipping on the DAPL have contingency plans ready to go, posted yesterday; some operators are already booking CBT (crude by truck) -- a third-world option.
  • CBR: wow -- again -- CLR says a DAPL shutdown would impact Bakken oil by $1 - $2 / bbl

For me, shutting down the DAPL will be a "psychological / emotional" phenomenon more than anything else.

Most interesting to me:

  • DAPL is getting more press than the situation regarding Brent. 
  • Brent: trending toward production less than amount of oil that would be carried by DAPL + DAPL expansion.

CBR: look at that capacity. Blows me away.

  • look at all the jobs a DAPL shutdown would provide
  • reminder: BNSF generates 25% of all Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway's revenue
  • I assume there are CBR options for Enbridge pipelines at risk running between Canada and the US;
