Oasis Reports A Huge Well -- December 1, 2021

EIA monthly petroleum production report: link here. It really is amazing: three states and the GOM are the only real plays that matter any more. And North Dakota in third place behind New Mexico. The surface area involved and number of rigs, North Dakota vs New Mexico, in fascinating, to say the least. But Texas? Amazing.

Back of envelope:

  • 5.0 million bbls; 273 rigs
  • 1.4 million bbls; 83 rigs
  • 1.0 million bbls; 27 rigs

Dashboards:

Enbridge: back to state court; Michigan drops federal case against Enbridge Line 5; clears way for state case; Enbridge "welcomes" the development;

CLR: comments starting to surface over at twitter regarding "flash crash" and timing of CLR's entrance into the Permian.

WTI: up 4.29%; up $.284; trading at $69.02;

RBN Energy: Permian midstreamers consolidate as basin production rebounds, part 2

The Permian has been a leader in domestic oil and gas production for decades but the Shale Revolution made it a global superstar. In the past few years, thousands of miles of new crude oil, associated gas, and produced-water gathering systems have been installed in West Texas and southeastern New Mexico, as have dozens of new gas processing plants and a number of new takeaway pipelines for oil, gas, and NGLs. Lately, there has also been a lot of consolidation among Permian midstream companies, mostly with the aims of increasing scale, improving reliability, and directing more hydrocarbons through the combined companies’ gathering, processing, and takeaway assets. In today’s RBN blog, we continue our review of recent, major pipeline-company combinations in the Permian and the benefits participants expect to realize from them.

  1. 914 came out yesterday. Covers SEP production.

    Big drop for US overall, but it was from hurricane. Lower 48, onshore continuing to rise slowly. Mostly driven by TX, last month. NM slightly down last month, but that was after significant up revision to their last month (they had huge growth last month).

    Note that ND is clearly a quarter million bopd behind NM on an apples to apples basis (using same estimate, 914) for both. Helms routinely dorks up this analysis by doing apples to oranges comparisons. But EIA shows that NM has left ND far behind.

    1. Thank you, much appreciated. The gap will widen now that winter has started.
