OIL Description

- Monday, October 29, 2012, 5:17 PM Colonial Pipeline, the largest U.S. oil products pipeline that connects the east coast to Gulf refiners, is set to close its main line up to Philadelphia and NYC by 7:00 tonight, halting delivery of up to 15% of the region's fuel demand. Nearly 70% of area refinery capacity is now shut or shutting; the remainder have been brought to their minimum safe operating levels. Comment! [Energy, U.S. Economy]
- Monday, October 29, 2012, 2:56 PM It looks like most east coast refineries will continue to operate during the hurricane, and there are no signs that the Colonial pipeline, which brings gasoline to the area, would have to shut down. “We’re going to lose far more demand than refining supply... right now the Philadelphia area refineries are certainly attempting to run through the storm," an oil expert says. Dec. crude -0.9% to $85.54. Comment! [Commodities, U.S. Economy]
- Monday, October 29, 2012, 10:21 AM The hurricane likely will cause oil and gas prices to drop, as drivers avoid roads and air and rail traffic shrivel, depressing regional fuel demand more than supply, John Kemp writes. The net result should be bearish for crude and product prices in coming days, provided there is no serious and sustained damage to east coast refineries. 1 Comment [Energy, U.S. Economy]
- Thursday, October 25, 2012, 10:27 AM Only a few months ago, traders and investors were fretting about a shortage of crude oil. Now, many are worried there may be too much crude at a time when economic reality is causing demand to contract, sending crude prices dropping fast. But skeptics note that there still aren't enough pipelines to bring all the increased production to refineries along the coast, limiting the impact of rising supplies. 3 Comments [Energy, U.S. Economy]
- Wednesday, October 24, 2012, 3:09 PM Could crude oil slide to $80/bbl? West Texas crude futures finish with a fifth straight loss, -1.1% to $85.73, pressured by a climb in U.S. supplies and continued concerns about weak global demand. Following the Fed decision to make no changes to its easy policy stance, the "conclusion is interest rates will continue to remain low for the foreseeable future," a Tyche Capital analyst says. 3 Comments [Energy, Commodities, U.S. Economy]
- Sunday, October 21, 2012, 3:40 AM TransCanada (TRP) hopes to restart the Keystone pipeline today after shutting it down on Wednesday because of a "small anomaly." On Friday, TransCanada said that no leaks had been detected on the 590K-barrel-a-day line, which transports oil from Canada to the U.S. Comment! [Energy]
- Friday, October 19, 2012, 12:48 PM More on yesterday's Goldman oil call: It includes a cool chart plotting the breakeven point on all of the planet's major oil projects. Goldman estimates the industry needs $115 oil to be cash flow neutral on its exploration vs. just $84 four years ago. "Further capex growth from current levels will likely be more constrained unless oil prices move higher." 7 Comments [Commodities, Energy]
- Thursday, October 18, 2012, 9:52 AM More from Goldman's oil call: With the Seaway pipeline ramping capacity by early 2013 to 400K b/d from the current 150K, Goldman expects the current $20+ spread between Brent and WTI crude to narrow to just $4 over the coming months. A chart of BNO vs. USO YTD. Is a reversal coming or is Goldman just stocking up on Brent? 4 Comments [Commodities, Quick Ideas]
- Monday, October 15, 2012, 3:29 PM "By 2018, the U.S. will have no place for crude oil imports,'' says Citigroup's Ed Morse, continuing (previous) to discuss the implications of the remarkable surge in domestic oil production. The $90 floor on prices is set to become a ceiling, he says, and the U.S. will have the lowest-cost natural gas feedstock in the world for the next century. 8 Comments [Energy]
- Thursday, October 11, 2012, 3:43 PM Unimaginable even a few years ago, booming domestic supplies have major traders applying for licenses to export substantial amounts of oil from the U.S. for the first time in decades, reports the FT. Exports would not only affect worldwide trading patterns, but also put pressure on the price of Brent crude, which currently sits at a hefty premium to the U.S. benchmark. 43 Comments [Energy, Commodities]
- Tuesday, October 9, 2012, 8:22 AM West Texas crude pushes past $90/bbl. on rising tension between Turkey and Syria, as yesterday's pipeline blast raises concerns about supply disruptions. Meanwhile, Brent and WTI crude see its largest spread in a year, widening to nearly $23/barrel, largely due to Mideast tension which gives Brent price support; WTI crude supplies remain at multi-month highs. Comment! [Commodities, Energy, Global & FX]
- Monday, October 8, 2012, 3:18 PM Total (TOT) Oil Trading, one of the world’s largest oil trading groups, warned IOSCO during its manipulation probe of “inaccurate pricing” in energy market benchmarks underpinning billions of dollars of trading each day in contracts such as Brent and WTI. It's not good news after the discovery of widespread manipulation of Libor, the benchmark for borrowing in interbank lending. 7 Comments [Commodities]
- Sunday, October 7, 2012, 5:16 AM Mid-East and North African energy producers intend to invest $740B on projects over the next five years, led by Saudi Arabia with $165B and UAE with $107B. High crude prices are allowing the countries to restart schemes that they delayed because of the financial crisis. 1 Comment [Energy]
- Friday, October 5, 2012, 6:00 AM Russia could make a radical shift in policy and allow western crude producers to own oil licenses in the Arctic, Energy Minister Alexander Novak has told the FT. Until now, Russia has awarded such licenses only to state-owned companies, with foreign firms taking just minority stakes in projects. However, Russia needs to attract Western know-how and money for it to fully exploit its Arctic resources. 8 Comments [Energy, Top Stories]
- Thursday, October 4, 2012, 11:49 AM Crude oil futures (OIL +2.2%) bounce off yesterday's 4% drop; traders may be betting that prices fell too hard, and Middle East tensions are escalating after Turkey fired on targets in Syria. Oil servicers such as Halliburton (HAL +2.4%) and Schlumberger (SLB +0.8%) are rising, and the move is lifting refiners: TSO +3.5%, VLO +3.3%, MPC +1.3%, WNR +1.3%. Comment! [Energy, Commodities, On the Move]
- Wednesday, October 3, 2012, 2:23 PM A two-year G-20 probe into whether the unregulated physical oil market is vulnerable to manipulation and needs tighter supervision looks set to end this week with a report that effectively endorses the current system. The IOSCO is backpedaling from earlier calls for tougher industry oversight, even as average U.S. retail gasoline prices hover near record levels. Comment! [Energy, Commodities]
