WTI Goes Above $70; Two Wells Coming Off Confidential List -- September 13, 2021

Milestone: this is the 38,001th post on this website. First post on this site was in 2009. The original MDW first posted in 2007. 

The early numbers:

  • DXY: $92.80, up 22 cents;
  • WTI: up about 3/4th of a percent; trading at $70.27; very transitory;
  • TYT: 1.335%; down ever so slightly;
  • Dow futures: up 215 points
  • S&P 500: up 25 points
  • NASDAQ: up 83 points

Sports: burrito defense didn't work. And this was in The WSJ. Without question, the four-year ban is excessive. Four months, maybe. 

FAANG: "Never anything but screaming bargains." Lu Wang at Bloomberg. Most irritating thing about the article: the writer never credit to the individual who coined the acronym "FANG" which then morphed into "FAANG." And then, for some, "FAANG-T."

Another wrap (and not a burrito, this time): Christo to wrap L'Arc de Triomphe. Again, at The WSJ

Congestion: record number of ships anchored off US ports.  

Streaming wars: Viacom announced it will re-vamp Paramount+. That suggests others are doing better. I think Paramount+ staked its streaming on Star Trek. I might have to look that up.

RBN Energy: the latest on Gulf Coast crude export capacity expansions. Archived.

When fully loaded, a Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) sits so low in the water that it almost resembles an alligator swimming along the surface of a lagoon. Bearing the weight of 2 MMbbl of crude oil, plus ballast, fuel, crew, and provisions — not to mention the ship itself — two-thirds of an oil-laden VLCC is literally out of sight. You could say the same about the development of crude export terminal projects along the Gulf Coast: not much to see, maybe, especially during the disturbingly enduring COVID-19 era, but a lot is happening under the surface. 
In today’s blog, we discuss the status of onshore and offshore projects aimed at streamlining the shipment of U.S. crude oil to overseas buyers.

  1. I bought the channel Paramount on Amazon Prime, just to rewatch this documentary:

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0496253/

    Probably the best documentary I have ever seen. Yes, even over the Andrew Wiles documentary.

    1. Documentary: "Breaking the Maya Code."

      Sorry for the delay in posting. I wanted to check out the link first and was so far behind.

      The nice thing about "streaming options," one can subscribe for a short period and then drop the subscription with no penalty.
