Number Of Active Rigs In North Dakota Drop Significantly; Kraken With Four New Permits -- June 13, 2022

WTI: a dime short of $121.

Spare capacity: it's amazing that this is finally being "accepted" after all these years -- the myth of spare capacity. Another tweet today: the imminent exhaustion of OPEC spare capacity will be a watershed event for the sector, and one that investors must urgently appreciate. From the Financial Post:

Now, owing to too many years of insufficient investment, as the needs of social spending and sovereign revenue dwarfed those of investing in incremental capacity during a multi-year period of low oil prices, OPEC’s spare capacity is set to become exhausted. This imminent reality will be a watershed event and has enormous implications for the oil market that investors must urgently appreciate.

We have for more than a year argued the world was hurtling into an energy crisis of epic proportions that would result in a multi-year bull market for oil. Our bullish thesis had four basic tenets: persistent demand growth for at least the next 10 years, the end of shale hyper-growth in the United States, defined as shale production growth rates that no longer exceed global demand growth, stagnant production growth from the global super-majors resulting from eight years of insufficient investment and, finally, the exhaustion of OPEC’s spare capacity.

If this these is correct, it is not too late to start accumulating shares in fossil fuel energy.

BP: goes green. Link to Tsvetana Paraskova. BP quits Canada's oil sands. Will concentrate on Canada's eastern play.

BP is divesting its last interest in Canada’s oil sands to Canadian firm Cenovus Energy as part of a portfolio reshaping that will see it buy into an offshore oil project in eastern Canada. 
BP has agreed to sell its 50-percent interest in the Sunrise oil sands project in Alberta to Cenovus Energy. 
BP’s exit from Canada’s oil sands follows other divestments from one of the most carbon-intensive oil production types, such as the ones that Shell and Equinor have made in recent years, as international oil majors look to lower their emissions profile under intense pressure from investors and campaigners. 
As part of its net-zero plan, BP has said its oil and gas production would decline by 40% by 2030 through active portfolio management.

In an earlier note, Cenovus was singled out as one of five top energy plays.

WTI: a dime short of $121.

Active rigs in North Dakota: 35 or thereabouts; NDIC says 37 active rigs; one is drilling a carbon capture well; and one is a SWD well. That makes 35 oil and gas rigs, or thereabouts. Down significantly from 40 active rigs just last week. Most of the change may simply be rigs moving.

Four new permits, #39012 - #39015, inclusive:

  • Operator: Kraken
  • Field: Lone Tree Lake (Williams)
  • Comments:
    • Kraken has permits for three new Wilhelm wells and one new Feller, 
      • to be sited in NENE 16-157-99;

Active rigs: this chart has not been completely updated.

  • column 1: date, June 13, 2022 -- current active rigs according to NDIC; is no date, the rig did not show up on the NDIC list
  • column 2 and 3: rig, updated per NDIC data
  • column 4: operator, updated per NDIC data
  • columns 5 and 6: well name and file number not updated
  • usual disclaimers apply: typographical and content errors will likely exist

  1. The rig count being down is rigs moving as you said. The rig that was drilling carbon capture wells is back to drilling oil wells. It is currently drilling what appears to be a vertical well.
