Just A Thought — August 18, 2022

The English language is peculiar, as I suppose all languages are, but as an English example:

“This weather is not atypical” does not mean “this weather is typical.”

Or does it?

For me, the two sentences mean (slightly) different things. Even if slight, still a significant difference.

No New Permits; Oasis Renewed Five Permits; Three DUCs Reported As Completed -- August 18, 2022

PSX: to acquire Colorado's biggest oil and gas employer. PSX stake: $6 billion. Link here.
  • DCP Midstream: currently a standalone joint venture; would be merged into a PSX subsidiary
  • DCP is a joint venture of Phillips 66 and Enbridge (PSX + ENB)
  • DCP: one of the largest US transporters and processors of natural gas and associated liquids, operating pipelines and 39 natural gas processing plants across nine states;
  • also a major gas processor and handler of natural gas liquids in the Permian Basin region of west Texas, the largest oil-producing area in the country
  • so, DCP: Denver-Julesburg Basin of northeast Colorado and Texas' Permian Basin
Common stock investors reacted positively to the news of the Phillips 66 offer to buy out the DCP Midstream's remaining common units. The stock’s share price jumped 8%, to just over $38 per share in early Thursday trading, since before the buyout offer was announced.
Wednesday’s restructuring also swapped Phillips 66’s interest in Gray Oak Pipeline, cutting Phillip 66s stake from 42% to just over 6%, while Enbridge’s stake rose to 58.5%. 
In return Enbridge gave up more than half of what it owned in the DCP Midstream joint venture, reducing it to a 13.2% stake. 
Phillips 66 opened the Gray Oak Pipeline in 2020, saying it was planned to transport 900,000 barrels of crude oil per day. The system connects Texas’ Permian Basin and the Eagle Ford oilfields to the state’s major Gulf Coast refinery hubs.

***********************
Back to the Bakken

WTI: $90.75. President XI said he was "re-opening" China; Saudi Arabia shows no urgency in increasing production.

Natural gas: $9.218. US natural gas storage sees minimal injection as exports rise. 

Active rigs: 46.

No new permits.

Five permits renewed:

  • Oasis: four Lars permits in Mountrail County; and one Pederson permit in McKenzie County.

Three producing wells (DUCs) reported as completed;

Apple: 3nm M2 Chip Later This Year -- August 18, 2022

Huge.

Link here. 

Huge story; has not yet been picked up by mainstream business networks.

TSMC will begin production of 3nm chips for Apple by the end of 2022, according to a report this week from Taiwan's Commercial Times. A separate report from the publication claimed that TSMC will begin mass production of 3nm chips in September.

Chips, semiconductor: link here. 

3nm? Most are still focused on 10 nm. Push to 7nm and 5nm was huge a few months ago, but now Apple will have 3nm by the end of the year

**********************
Qualcomm

Wow, wow, wow.

Qualcomm just popped today.

Says it will get back into "server" business.

Amazon says it may buy chips / servers from Qualcomm. 

We continue to see the "headline wars":

  • Apple vs Amazon
  • Apple vs Microsoft
  • Apple/TSM vs everyone else

Disclosure: I've had huge exposure to Qualcomm for years; I don't recall when/why I started accumulating Qualcomm. I panicked when Apple dropped Qualcomm but didn't sell. Held.

Broadcom

But look at this.

AVGO up $20 today, but that's only 4%.
