Biden says 'Higher gas prices hurt families'

Brandon…has not done one thing right during his 9 months in office.

A.) open border/border crisis
B.) high inflation
C.) high gas prices
D.) soft on China
E.) crazy spending and wants even more spending
F.) country more divided than ever
G.) vaccine mandates
F.) butchered foreign policy ie Afghanistan

''With U.S. shale peaking & having “never made money,” investors lose billions''

2020 marks the 15-year anniversary of the U.S. shale boom but now the industry is in trouble. The same report from Deloitte adds that the “reality is that the shale boom peaked without making money for the industry in aggregate. In fact, the US shale industry registered net negative free cash flows of $300 billion, impaired more than $450 billion of invested capital, and saw more than 190 bankruptcies since 2010.”


I have a tough time putting a lot of weight into that statement. It is the "industry in aggregate" that bothers me.

The oil and gas exploration industry has always been plagued with frequent bankruptcies and/or outright fraud by unscrupulous operators.

Some operators were doing quite well for themselves during the shale boom. Other operators just never got a good mix of the right land, right people and right methods to make it work.

I'd argue that it wasn't the shale itself or the profitability of new fracking technology/techniques that were the problem, but rather individual companies internal problems that would lead to an industry aggregate negative net. We have numerous corporations competing against each other. Some will do better than others.

If I recall correctly, even at $50 dollars a barrel some of those shale plays would have been profitable for individual companies in specific plays.

However, I agree with your general premise that when the prices go up, the upstream portion of the energy industry will be better off and shutting down uncompleted pipelines from foreign countries trying to reach US export facilities probably has nothing to do with the current health of our domestic market.

Even with high oil prices and all the money floating around thanks to FED , investors are in no hurry to repeat the money losing exercise so Shale will not be boosting output much. OPEC won this round.

The Oil Omen: First Large U.S. Shale Driller To Pledge Flat Output In 2022​

  • Diamondback said it planned to pump some 221,000 to 225,000 barrels of crude daily. For full 2021, Diamondback said production would come in at between 222,000 to 223,000 bpd
  • Most large shale drillers are adopting the same approach in order to keep their shareholders happy after years of burning cash to boost production to a maximum
The strict capital discipline of large shale players means that U.S. oil production will be slow to grow, and this means retail fuel prices will remain elevated for an extended period.

"Most", is not all.

With respect to Irina Slav's valuable knowledge and insight, even she implies that not every company feels this way and this is more of a choice among some publicly traded companies to pay down debt and consolidate. Nowhere in her article does she indicate that Shale was a money losing experiment. Rather that there are companies who are taking this opportunity to pay down debt while the market stabilizes.
I'd expect anyone in the industry focusing on the Permian Basin or Eagle Ford will notice this trend.

However, I am sure she would concede that the oil and gas industry is more complicated than merely the reporting coming out during shareholder meetings. Personally, I prefer to follow the production trends a bit more closely on a company to company basis when evaluating things.

For example, I have attached a copy of a 1002A completion report for the Miller-Miller Well recently drilled in Calumet, OK, which is the STACK Play in Oklahoma. This being a 1280 acre spaced horizontal oil and gas well using fracturing techniques.

If you notice, the spud date was 2/24/2021 with a first production date of August 17th. Not exactly in a rush to complete the well, but nonetheless, during the height of the worst pricing, Devon was still investing in these wells and I expect that some operators will continue to do so and deliver decent ROI's on their investments.

There are a couple of features that make this play worthwhile for Devon, being the low cost of leasing, the existing infrastructure for transportation, the proximity to market, and existing purchase agreements locking in their pricing on production.
That last one is key.


While the Permian players may be waiting for higher prices to lock in higher priced purchase and sales contracts later this year, Devon is already committed to certain production volumes at set pricing.

What you see as a waning in shale production, I see as an opportunity for marginal fields to wait for better purchase agreements and an increase in pipeline capacity. In the meantime, they can pay down debt and consolidate their positions for resumption of production early next year as long as OPEC and Russia keep pricing high.

So, again, I reiterate that your oversimplification of the shale boom as being unprofitable is too broad of a statement to be accurate for all drillers in all plays.

Some of the wealthiest, shrewdest fuckers I know are Obama/Hillary/Biden supporters.

Ironic, they support socialism but look down on the poors.
I actually know a few of these myself. It’s my belief that they secretly want a system that keeps them on top and makes it almost impossible for people to reach their status

This always confuses me (I have noticed the same pattern many times) - they are wealthy but support socialism.

If they truly believed that wouldn't they share their wealth with everyone as per their beliefs?

Socialism has it's own cast system. It's like cops wanting to be the only ones carrying guns.

There's no advantage to being a wealthy elitist if everyone is.

I often hear a certain portion of the political spectrum suggest that "Only cops should have guns" (this is the same group of people that feel that the police should be defunded).

Somehow this always pops in my head - link
 
White guilt.

That concept is so alien to me.

So the theory is I feel guilty for something my grandfathers grandfather may or may not have done?

How many generations should we be concerned with? How many associations should we consider (cousins / uncles / friends)? If any of them did something unsavoury should I feel guilty? Where do we draw the line with this nonsense?

So, instead of getting all bent out of shape like some on a certain part of the political spectrum worrying about such things I simplified it - I treat people like they treat me and feel zero guilt.

So "Russia & Saudi Arabia need to Pump more oil.” This is after he shut down our own pipelines and drilling. To think, this time last year we were energy independent.

America First Last.



Lets go Brandon.

They were too busy to take Biden's call.

 
I REALLY want to hear somebody in the audience with a megaphone or another mic link to the main speakers telling him to SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU PEDO FREAK in the future when he gives another speech.

Motherfucker is a LOLcow, no different than other pathetic sacks of failure like Onision, Chris Chan, WingsOfRedemption, or Lucas Werner. That is what he is. We are already so deep in the LGB and FJB saga so why not just take every opportunity to milk him for more laughs every time he appears in public.
I would love to talk eye to eye with that motherfucker!

This sounds for all the world like they opened the filing cabinet in the basement for this appeal to the “greater good”.

But Biden isn’t FDR, he can’t do a fireside chat let alone complete a press conference with any authority. And it isn’t WW2 or the Great Depression, And FDR sucked anyway.
 
This crisis should be a wakeup call that we need strategic American energy policy that treats oil and natural gas as an asset and not a liability.

I dont see Chink getting 500,000 troops over here. Fuck the Chicoms.

They're already making some good headway. And this is just one example.

Some Hispanic friends of mine that I work with travel back down across the border time to time to visit friends and family have told me China has a heavy presence in some parts of Mexico now.

One guy told me in places that were just little small towns have grown like crazy, got new big Walmart's and basically turned into Chinatown. He said now when you drive through there all you see is Chinese signage everywhere. All but pushed the Mexicans out in some places.
I dont know how quick they could get 500,000 over here but it seems they're off to a good start.

He also said that since the chicoms have moved in down there the fentynal has exploded in that area of Mexico.

China has moved into south and central America and is pumping every last drop of oil out of the ground they can find. This comes from my FIL who ran an oil exploration company in Ecuador for 30 years.

That really sucks. Do you know which part of Mexico? I have old friends in and around Nuevo Casas Grandes in Chihuahua State but lost their phone # and am afraid to travel there to look them up with the Cartel activity in that area. Some how I think the Cartels would have a problem with that. They may be garbage but theyre not stupid and must know that if the Chinese come in it will hurt their operations. Maybe its 'A thousand little cuts".

Wal Mart had already put a big presence in that area, kind of sad because it destroyed so many small business's.

They actually have "White Man's Guilt". They seem like they are socialists but only because they talk about the things Socialists talk about. They are actually quite the opposite with respect to their own status and wealth but it is not polite to rub the poor noses in it. Therefore, they talk about the altruistic issues but could give a rat's ass.

The same with our Political elite...otherwise there would be plenty for the doors. At this point, the political rulers provide the poor with enough to repress their anger and guarantee votes.

Maybe they should reinstate that ban in the US and say you can only export excess based off the prior months US consumption?

Yep, seems to be par for the course these days.

Make a bunch of unachievable virtue signalling promises but when the rubber meets the road it cant be done.

I wonder what Patrick Harvie suggests we should do? Let me guess - "Green Energy"?
