No New Permits; Nine Permits Renewed; Earnings: GM, MSFT Report -- April 26, 2022

All my posts are done quickly: there will be content and typographical errors. If anything on any of my posts is important to you, go to the source. If/when I find typographical / content errors, I will correct them

Abbott's War: apparently Federal judge rules for Texas with regard to new abortion law; I haven't followed the case. Waiting for mainstream media to report. Right now, only Fox has reported the story.

  • apparently Idaho "following" footsteps of Texas

Putin's War: Russia shuts off natural gas to Poland. That sounds like just the beginning. Germany ready to ban Russian oil "completely" within days.

US oil exports to Russia: link here

Even as Biden administration takes more steps to hobble US oil production. Today it's Alaska. It's almost as if Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde running domestic policy for the US.

API: huge surprise? I guess it's a surprise if you thought it would be a draw. Larger than expected build.

  • forecast: 2.167 million bbl build; actual: 4.784 million bbl build (not sure if this is correct; multiple sources; here's one) -- looks like best site.
    • yup: forecast of a 2.167 million-bbl build; in fact, much greater: a 4.78 million-bbl build
      • that's almost a million bopd that could be exported to Europe
    • EIA to report tomorrow
  • previous: a draw of 4.496 million
