  • Southeast Asia’s heat wave is pushing temperatures and power demand to records, straining grids and prompting traders to bulk up on natural gas cargoes. Europe’s summer is also forecast to be hotter than usual.

RBN Energy: upcoming W2W maintenance will tighten Permian oil takeaway, wreak havoc on prices. Archived.

The largest crude oil pipeline exiting the Permian Basin by volume — Wink to Webster (W2W) — is planned to be offline for maintenance for the first 10 days of June. This is inclusive of Enterprise’s Midland-to-ECHO III (ME III), which reflects the company’s 29% undivided joint interest in W2W. Although the outage has not been publicly confirmed, it’s our understanding that 1.5 MMb/d of capacity will be offline to reroute a small section of pipeline. In today’s RBN blog, we’ll examine how the planned maintenance will impact Permian Basin oil takeaway capacity and what it may mean for Midland WTI pricing.
