Permian gas: linked/posted earlier this morning. I have to go back and archive the entire article. It's that important. This link:
"Analysts": on twitter and oilprice I have a couple of favorite folks to follow. If they post something, it's important.
A lot like my brother: he did not say much; he was very, very quiet but when he spoke, it was important. So, over at oilprice, Charles Kennedy. On twitter, it's RAWenergy@WAR527. The latter seldom re-posts an RBN Energy link so seeing this tells me how big a story this is. Archived.
Perfect storm:
- EOG in the Permian
- the Permian: a "gassier" play than the Bakken
- Putin's War: LNG becomes an even bigger story
- war: less than three months old
- sanctions yet to make huge impact
- Germany building new import terminals; floating, modular terminals will be in place by end of year, maybe before winter
- EOG: huge 1Q22 -- compare $$$ to one year ago
- everything suggests this is just the first inning of nine-inning game that might go into overtime
- if one can't connect the dots here --- EOG -- KMI Permian Highway / KMI Gulf Coast Express -- Putin's War ... the more one sees, the more excited one gets -- but that special dividend of $1.80 on top of its regular quarterly dividend of 75 cents --
- over at themes - 2022 -- LNG, export terminals.
Natural gas:
This could go a long way explaining how/why EOG could declare a special dividend of $1.80 on top of a regular quarterly dividend of 75 cents.
Checking the prices:
- WTI: $108.50.
- natural gas: $8.834
Is anyone paying attention? Diversification is over-rated.
