US Rig Count Decline Reaccelerates Back To Cycle Lows

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Total US Rig Count dropped 6 this week to 857 - the lows of the cycle - after 3 weeks of very modest rises. Oil rig count also declined, after 2 weeks of increases, by 7 to 638. The initial move in prices was higher (as for now we are in topsy-turvy land for crude) but that is starting to fade.

  • *U.S. TOTAL RIG COUNT DOWN 6 TO 857 , BAKER HUGHES SAYS
  • *U.S. OIL RIG COUNT DOWN 7 TO 638, BAKER HUGHES SAYS

Rig count continues to track lagged crude perfectly...

 

Crude prices extended their gains immediately after but are fading back now...

On Tuesday, US food companies and Monsanto sealed a critical victory as the House Agricultural Committee approved a measure that bans the mandatory labeling of genetically modified foods and prevents cities and counties from banning GMO crops within their jurisdictions...

There is a simple response to that:  Start growing your own.  If you want to buy GMO seed, you have to jump through a lot of hoops because Monsanto and the like want tight control over their GMO seeds.  Just look for open pollinated seeds and take away some of their business.  Every ear of corn that you grow from heirloom seed is a seed that Monsanto doesn't sell.

****Yawn**** Unless crude drops below 40, most of the pain in the patch has been felt. I'm not worried about a loss of seven rigs at this point.

U.S. economy crashing. China slowdown. Iran coming on-line. 

It might come damn close to 40 sooner than we can start a war with someone. Maybe we should attack Puerto Rico? We could both use the extra jobs.

Does seem like pretty thin gruel given the overall size of the oil market.

Tankers have been floating around for months with tens of millions of barrels looking for buyers apparently.

"Name your price."

Huge refinery for sale in the Caribbean been for sale for a couple of years now. Obviously to get it up and running would cost a ton of money...Banks are swimming in profits right now.

First thing I would buy.

The major fracking companies (APA,APC,CHK) are now trying to lose as much money as possible,as fast as possible,so they become "too big to fail frackers",and can count on a bailout from the Fed..

I have reduced my home heating oil consumption to zero, my propane to zero and my transportation petroleum by 50%

My punishment?  I now have to spend more time out in Nature and have to endure being aerobically fitter, physically stronger and am healthier than ever.

As someone who has been in or around the oilfield most of his life, I have no sympathy for company's going bankrupt since everyone knows, or should know, that a job that is here today is gone tomorrow. That's the history of the oilfield. The operators that were conservative in the good times are doing ok now, not great but they will survive. However I know of one drilling outfit that could not make money last year and was already under water, its over for these guys. I also have a friend of mine that is about to declare bankruptsy, in the good times he lived high on the hog and now he might have to mow grass for a living and still loose his house. When he told me of his situation, I wanted to kick him in the balls for being a retard, but he has made his bed and now he gets to sleep in it. Luckly I still have my job and the important things are payed off and I could shovel horse shit for a living and still have my quality of life. You have to be smarter than the fuckers that are running the show. Regards-

This ponzi has gone on for 9 years where is the positive cash flow?  When was there ever real profits?  Oh that's right we are the bank's, government and corporation's cash machine... we will just pay for it later. 

Enjoy the "cheap" gas, last time I looked the industry was 80 billion in debt.  Translation.. that gas aint cheap you just haven't heard the scream yet.
