Crude Oil

The Brent-WTI differential has grown to its widest since...

Three weeks ago the EIA relea-sed Sept’s oil production data.

Prod. came in at 8.580 MMB/d, a 0.167 MMB/d drop from Aug.

The majority of the decline came from offshore GOM production.

President-Elect Trump has stated that he will move...

...quickly on KXL after taking office.

The Edm. Light differential is currently around $4/B.

Investors are the most bullish on crude oil that they have...

...been since the downturn began more than two years ago.

...February of this year. The futures

curve is still in contango in the near-term...

...but flips into backwardation in the long end of the curve.

Alberta natural gas demand has grown steadily in recent years, largely driven by new oil sands projects coming on line.

Canada’s natural gas storage level provides a good metric if the country is well stocked. Abnormally high or low storage can affect the basis.

Unlike US drilling activity, Canadian rigs are dispatched seasonally. Capital allocation by operators is driven by views of future oil and gas prices.

Tracking US gas drilling by major play provides insight into the composition of US gas supply and growth trends.

Land prices are an important component of F&D costs. In Alberta, sales of petroleum and natural gas rights are held every two weeks.
