No Wells Coming Off The Confidential List; Bakken Production Forecast To Decline Later This Summer -- May 27, 2021

From May 20, 2021, link here:

Over on twitter earlier today, someone asked, "where are all the $70-Brent bulls now?"

My reply: "Quietly buying Chevron stock."

Brent today: flat, down 3 cents. Trading at $65.

Today:

  • Brent: $69.13
  • CVX: $102.88

Quietly buying CVX

RBN Energy: San Juan natural gas basis goes premium.

It’s not often these days that you read about gas markets in the San Juan Basin. In fact, the subject was probably never much of a hot topic because the San Juan has been something of an afterthought when it comes to Western gas markets, just a stop on the road between the Permian and markets along the West Coast and in the Rockies. However, those Western gas markets are setting up to be quite interesting this summer, as is the Waha gas market in the Permian, and understanding the mechanics of the San Juan is just one piece of the overall Western puzzle. In today’s blog, we take a look at the far-flung but increasingly interesting markets west of the Permian Basin.

    1. Thank you. That makes sense. We'll see that in the Long Creek Unit, also. Dozens of wells to be drilled with one, maybe two rigs.
