Junk-bond debt in energy has reached $210 billion, which is about 16 percent of the $1.3 That is a dramatic rise from just 4 percent that energy debt represented 10 years ago. As is the nature of the junk-bond market, lots of money flowed to companies with much riskier drilling prospects than, say, the oil majors.
Low-speed electric vehicles (LSEVs) could reduce China’s demand for gasoline and, in turn, impact global oilprices, according to a new issue brief by an expert in the Center for Energy Studies at Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy. “ —Gabriel Collins.
In its January 2023 Short-Term Energy Outlook , the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) forecasts that crude oil production in the United States will average 12.4 In 2022, US crude oil production averaged an estimated 11.9 The forecast of crude oil production in the Permian increases by 470,000 b/d to average 5.7
Gasoline is one of the products refined from crude oil. Thus, the price of crude oil should have a strong influence on the price of gasoline. However, the retail price of gasoline includes other costs as well. Even a cursory look reveals that the relationship between the two sets of prices is not perfect.
Despite volatility in global oil markets, US crude oil exports reached a record high in 2020, according to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). As of 9 July 2021, US crude oil exports have averaged 3.00 The most recent four-week rolling average of US crude oil exports reached 3.51
US crude oil production averaged 11.3 million b/d in 2019, according to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). The production decline resulted from reduced drilling activity related to low oilprices in 2020. In January 2020, US crude oil production reached a peak of 12.8 million b/d. million b/d.
Their open-access paper appears in the journal Nature Energy. Projections of the evolution of COVID-19 pandemic trends show that lockdowns help to reduce COVID-19 transmissions by as much as 90% compared with the baseline without any social distancing in Austin, Texas. Nat Energy doi: 10.1038/s41560-020-0662-1.
US oil and gas rig counts dropped to their lowest level in over four years, falling by an additional 74 units for the week ending on January 16. The lower count provides fresh evidence that low oilprices are forcing drillers to pare back operations and slash spending. That pushed companies to focus on wet gas and oil.
A major factor in this growth has been an uptick in horizontal drilling in the Permian Basin, Texas’ revived giant, where the rig count was up 21% year-on-year. And while oilprices slumped in October, drilling activity continues to rise, according to Baker Hughes , the third-largest oil services company.
That spells more pain for the energy sector. an industry consultant, oil and gas companies have laid off more than 250,000 workers around the world, a tally that will rise if oilprices remain in the dumps. “I Still, upstream E&P companies are also being substantially squeezed by another plunge in oilprices.
If West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oilprices stabilize at or above $60 per barrel, major parts of the United States shale sector that are currently dormant will ramp up, according to an analysis by experts in the Center for Energy Studies at Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy. Baker III and Susan G.
In the June Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) forecasts that rising global production of petroleum and other liquid fuels (driven by OPEC, Russia, and the United States) will limit price increases for global crude oil benchmarks Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI).
Those claiming that oil will continue to fall from here and remain low for evermore, however, are flying in the face of both history and common sense. The question we should be asking ourselves is not if oilprices will recover, but when they will. Supply alone, however, doesn’t determine price.
The OPIS survey tracks actual gallons moved out of retail stations and it features sharper losses than those reported by the Energy Information Administration (EIA). For decades, California led all US states in consumption of gasoline, but that position has been passed to Texas, which finds smaller year-on-year volume declines of 15.8%.
World primary energy consumption grew by 2.5% Oil remains the world’s leading fuel, but its 33.1% Global energy consumption grew by 2.5% seen in 2010, according to the newly released BP Statistical Review of World Energy, 2012. Global energy consumption grew by 2.5% in 2011, close to the historical average.
The US Energy Information Administration released its Annual Energy Outlook 2013 (AEO2013) Reference case (the Early Release ), which highlights a growth in total US energy production that exceeds growth in total US energy consumption through 2040. Biofuels grow at a slower rate due to lower crude oilprices and.
A GlobalData analysis of recent wells for 26 operators in the Permian basin indicates a break-even oilprice range from US$21 to US$48 per barrel with lateral lengths ranging from 4,500 ft to 10,500 ft. On 25 June, the price of a 42-gallon barrel of West Texas Intermediate Crude (WTI) was $68.08.

The collapse of oilprices has ground shale drilling to a halt, but the one region where drilling is still active, and even increasing, is in West Texas. The West Texas shale basin has captured two-thirds of the 90 oil rigs that have been added since hitting a nadir in May. Cimarex Energy and Occidental Petroleum.
The average US household will spend about $550 less on gasoline in 2015 compared with 2014, as annual motor fuel expenditures are on track to fall to their lowest level in 11 years, according to projections by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). The price for US regular gasoline has fallen 11 weeks in a row to an average $2.55
ChemCatBio , a consortium within the US Department of Energy, awarded funding to LANL in support of the project as one of 9 projects to accelerate the development of catalysts and related technologies for the commercialization of biomass-derived fuels and chemicals.
The divergence of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and Brent crude oilprices in 2011 affected refinery utilization in the United States, particularly in the East Coast (PADD 1) and Midwest (PADD 2) regions, according to a report from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA).
ExxonMobil expects to increase annual earnings potential by more than 140% and double potential annual cash flow from operations by 2025 from 2017 adjusted earnings, assuming a 2017 oilprice of $60 per barrel adjusted for inflation and based on 2017 margins.
Argentina offers one of the few places on earth where oil companies are not suffering from the full force of the collapse in prices. Argentina regulates oilprices, a policy originally intended to insulate the public from the whims of the market, protecting people from triple-digit crude prices.
Industry appetite for oil-rich resource plays, particularly the North Dakota Bakken shale, Texas Eagle Ford shale and Ohio Utica shale, drove deal activity in the unconventional sector to a record $62 billion. We expect continued strong activity in oil and liquids-rich resource plays in 2012. —Ronyld W. Click to enlarge.
Because of this, the collective US shale industry has been likened to the new “swing producer”: low oilprices force quick cutbacks but higher prices trigger new supplies. And because there were few job openings, very few young people between the mid-1980s and 2000 went into oil and gas.
Global oil discoveries fell to a record low in 2016 as companies continued to cut spending and conventional oil projects sanctioned were at the lowest level in more than 70 years, according to the International Energy Agency, which warned that both trends could continue this year. Oil discoveries declined to 2.4
Globally, water demand is threatening to dangerously outpace supply, while in the US, dry states such as Texas and California are suffering from shortages and the future forebodes more suffering. How communities in Texas can be spared drought. What it means for the oil and gas industry. How vital water is to energy independence.
Initial lifecycle analyses show that Genomatica’s Bio-BDO will require about 60% less energy than acetylene-based BDO.
