RBN Energy: what's throwing the distillates market out oof whack? Archived.
The U.S. market for distillates has been crazy the past few months — especially in PADD 1 — and given all that’s going on, it’s likely to stay that way for months to come. Inventories of ultra-low-sulfur diesel, heating oil and other distillates are at their lowest levels for this time of year since before the EIA started tracking them 40 years ago and diesel prices are in the stratosphere, all despite diesel crack spreads being in record-high territory — a strong incentive for refineries to churn out more distillate. In today’s RBN blog, we discuss the many factors affecting distillate supply, demand, inventories and prices and take a look ahead at where the market may be headed next.

"Experts" have stated that daughter wells won't do as well as parent wells in shale / unconventional plays. Several daughter wells, and perhaps all daughter wells, on the Bartleson Federal pad have done better / will do better than the parent well.
