Crude Drops After US Rig Count Decline Extends To Record 20 Weeks

Tyler Durden's picture




 

For a record-breaking 20th week, US rig counts declined. Total rigs dropped 22 to 932 (the 4th smallest drop since Nov 2014) while oil rigs fell 31 to 703 (down over 56% from the highs). With the very modest production drop (all due to Alaska with the Lower 48 flat) it appears any slowdown in drilling rigs has not dampened enthusiasm to pump, baby, pump. WTI initially popped but is fading now...

 

  • *U.S. TOTAL RIG COUNT DOWN 22 TO 932 , BAKER HUGHES SAYS

 

  • *U.S. OIL RIG COUNT DOWN 31 TO 703, BAKER HUGHES SAYS

 

And the reaction in crude..

I'd like to when we're going to see gas back under $2.00 a gallon. That would be a huge help to the economy!

A productive use for those rigs would be to transform them into gallows for bankers and politicians. Might as well throw lawyers into that mix as well.

Why is it when crude spikes gas prices follow immediately?

But, when crude slumps it takes weeks for gas to drop in price?

Then if crude drops to low they manufacture some crises in the ME to pump crude back up.

Is just me or am I being to paranoid?

Maybe I should just sit back, smoke a Philly Blunt, and know that Hillarity has all our backs.

Looks like crude is rising to me. Its now revered most of the drop.

 

EDIT: and down it goes again.

That, and a lot of those articles were of Squid origins.  You always take those with a grain of salt.  It's nice to know what they're saying.  GS:  "Rig counts don't matter!"  Reality:  "Rig counts won't matter until the Squid can muppitize some folks.  Then they'll matter."

Tyler, you know the EIA data on production is wrong.  Why should EIA be more accurate than BLS?
