When oilprices were high and production was relentlessly climbing, energy related junk bonds looked highly profitable. The situation will compound itself if oilprices stay low. Without the ability to finance drilling, smaller or more indebted oil companies may not have a future.
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. “
With oilprices low and showing no sign of an immediate rebound, the industry is beginning to pull back on spending. Oilprices have dropped around 30 percent since summer highs, raising fears among producers across the globe. Yet, many oil majors are relatively diversified, with large holdings downstream.
There were 19 oil rigs that were removed from operation as of Oct. There are now 1,590 active oil rigs, the lowest level in six weeks. We could easily see the oil rig count down 100 by the end of the year, or more.” Better-known shale formations, such as the Eagle Ford in South Texas, can break even at much lower prices.
Although the gasoline prices were available for each day throughout this period, the crude-oilprices were not available for weekends, holidays, and selected other days. Therefore, the analysis included only those days for which both prices were available—a total of 2,518 days.
EIA based the forecast on expectations of crude oilprices and infrastructure capacity additions. The forecast of crude oil production in the Permian increases by 470,000 b/d to average 5.7 Production in other US crude oil-producing regions is forecast to increase by 70,000 b/d in 2024. million b/d in 2023.
The four-week rolling average of US crude oil export volumes has not fallen below 2.00 million b/d during the past three years, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused significant crude oilprice drops, reduced demand, and reduced production in US and global oil markets. b lower than the Brent price.
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 In May, US crude oil production reached its lowest average monthly volume for the year at 10.0 Crude oil production in Texas averaged 4.87
The trajectory of North American gas supply is set to change radically as a result of the fall in oilprices that has occurred due to COVID-19 and the breakdown in production cooperation between OPEC and Russia, according to IHS Markit.

Tesla’s ( NASDAQ: TSLA ) plans to expand its production capacity, along with other factors like surging oilprices that could sway consumers to electric vehicles, have contributed to Daiwa Securities analysts upgrading their outlook on the automaker’s stock.
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. With weak demand, drillers can negotiate down rig prices.
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. According to Graves & Co.,
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.
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.
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.
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).
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. However, this unprecedented phenomenon could last for a few years: Kissler et al.
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%. The data speaks to a major problem for the petroleum industry and oilprices as it recovers from unprecedented demand declines for most of 2020.
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.
Between January 2016 and March 2017, oil production in the Permian Basin increased in all but three months, even as domestic crude oilprices fell. As production in other regions fell throughout most of 2015 and 2016, the Permian provided a growing share of US crude oil production. million b/d) in that month.
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. by Nick Cunningham of Oilprice.com.
Gasoline prices are falling because of lower crude oilprices, which account for about two-thirds of the price US drivers pay for a gallon of gasoline. EIA’s latest STEO forecasts that Brent crude oilprices will average $68 per barrel (bbl) in 2015, with prices up to $5/bbl below that annual average early in the year.

The “Arab Spring” affected oil and gas supplies—most notably the complete, albeit temporary, loss of Libyan supply—while the tragic Fukushima accident in Japan had knock-on effects for nuclear and other energy sources around the world. bbl, they were the second-highest in inflation adjusted terms, behind only 1864.
The results are based on Evogene’s objectives for castor bean varieties, aimed at increasing crop yields to 4-5 ton/ha on semi-arid lands—at present focusing on Texas and Brazil—and therefore providing the additional benefit of not competing with food use of arable land. Assaf Oron, Evogene’s EVP Strategy and Business Development.
This national increase is almost entirely driven by tight oil. In particular, the Permian region in western Texas and eastern New Mexico is expected to account for more than half of the growth in crude oil production through 2019.

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.
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.
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.
With the successful scale-up of this technology, it is believed that Gevo’s HEDFs could be produced at a lower cost than the petroleum-based equivalent, even at current oilprices. Gevo currently operates a biorefinery in Silsbee, Texas, in collaboration with South Hampton Resources Inc.,
Biofuels grow at a slower rate due to lower crude oilprices and. The decline reflects increased domestic production of both petroleum and natural gas, increased use of biofuels, and lower demand resulting from the adoption of new vehicle fuel efficiency standards and rising energy prices. Biomass and biofuels growth is slower.
This sharp slowdown in activity in the conventional oil sector was the result of reduced investment spending driven by low oilprices. The average break-even price in the Permian basin in Texas, for example, is now at US$40-45/bbl. mb/d by 2022 at current prices, and expand even more if prices rise further.
