We Have Just Escaped The Earth's Gravity And Are Now In Space Orbit

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Houston, we have a serious problem... With only 20% of US Shale regions remaining economic at these oil price levels, it should not be surprising that the credit risk of the US
Energy sector is exploding to near 1000bps
... and contagiously infecting
the broad HY market...

Credit risk in the energy sector is starting to infect the broad HY market - HYG at 2-year yield highs and HYCDX near 15-month wides...

 

Which signals considerable pain to come for US Energy stocks..

If LOW oil prices are BAD for the economy, then HIGH oil prices must be GOOD for the economy, right? So lets just raise oil prices to $300 a barrel and everything will be peachy right? Yawn.

Can't wait for Hethrow' airport announcement as to who compromised their air traffic control systems....

Sure is unfortunate that the FAA never got that GPS tracking capability in place for commercial aircraft so they have a permanent fix on every plane in flight "anytime", "anywhere"...  You would have thought after 9/11 the U.S. government would have made that one a top priority?

Looks like they will continue to use 50 year old antiquated radar system technology and leave it up to the professionals when something bad happens to an airliner!

The mistaken MSM presumption is it's an over-production shake-out, but it's production meeting multi-year global Macro slump.

If it were just over production it could be resolved by mothballing production to re-stabilize price and the reverberations will damp-out. Ugly and painful but manageable.

But when its driven by rocketing production investments into a protracted Macro slide to negative {i.e. very slow slide in = very slow climb out} the price is going to rip limbs off.

But it will also (3 to 6 months later) power-up Asia due to the attractive lower input costs, create demand from a cheap commodities bonanza, thus set industrial metals rolling once more and fan investment growth in Oz. That's what happened last time, from about April 2009 forward after oil had gone down to $32 and metals with it.

I asked this in the oil crashing thread, but have yet to receive a reply.

At what price level does the Marcellus Shale area become unprofitable? It isn't included on the list.

Thanks.

Fri, 12/12/2014 - 14:02 | 5545102 Captchured

The Marcellus play is natural gas (some wet gas in there). So, you have to look at natural gas prices for that one. I believe that it is around $3.75/mcf and is largely not involved with the collapse in oil prices. That's not to say that natural gas prices are stable, they are just not impacted by the same drivers that oil is. I'm not sure what they have to get at the low end in order to make the play work economically these days, but $3.75 is above that floor.

Fri, 12/12/2014 - 14:05 | 5545125 Tsar Pointless

Thank you. I thought there may be a ripple effect on Marcellus Shale natural gas drilling, as a lot of the companies who are drilling for oil are also in the nat gas shale business.

I almost wonder if the oil price collapse helps the gas focused producers, as so much gas production came on associated with the oil boom. If the oil-associated gas production falls with oil prices, it should relieve some pressure on the gas guys, but who TF knows.

Dudes,

It is easier to manipulate the oil market for a year than it is to get your wife to suck you off.  It's a fact.

Don't you remember 2007?

NBER (National Bureau of Economic Research) identified the Recession of 2007 in December of that year, but neglected to tell the American Public.

As the trading public did not know the economy was in recession, certain naughty forces raised the price of oil from $90 in December 2007 to $147 in July 2008.  And back down to $35 by the end of 2008.

They made a killing on the upside, shorted it at the top and drove the price back down for the election of Obama.

They moved the price of oil up and down a total of 150 points in a year.

Compared to that swindle (with a complicit NBER), the movement of oil today is bubkes.
