A 50% hair cut in crude is only a recession away

I'm afraid I have some good news for you.

The good news is also the bad news.

Never been in the Oil and Gas bidness, therefore know nothing of the inner workings of pricing. But I'm told there are 9,000 unused drilling permits and read that the Alaskan lease sale was canceled because there was no interest from the industry. If profits are so high, and apparently they are, why no interest and why thousands of unused permits. Asking because I just don't know.
Regulations and litigation hold up a lot of that drilling. Also multiple permits are sometimes needed for an area. If a dry hole comes up in exploratory drilling, the oil companies will stop drilling even though they have permits.

In short, it's very misleading to harp on the 9000 permits. Only 10 percent of drilling takes place on federal land anyway.

Finally, banks are encouraged not to lend to big oil. Supplies of pipe and sand have increased dramatically when they can even be found to begin with. And workers are in short supply.

All of that is on top of Biden shutting things down like the Keystone Pipeline on day one of his term. High prices are here to stay a while. Probably years, if ever, it goes back down to where it was, IMO.

Bidenflation is here to stay a while.
To a large part, inflation now is us paying back all the free stimulus money that we received over the past two years. More money chasing the same or fewer products is a large cause of much of inflation.

There are a few places in town still at $3.99 according to Gas Buddy. How much longer, who knows. All show to have been updated within the last 4 hours ago.

Stripes at Briarcrest & 6
Stripes at WJB & 6
Stripes at Holleman & 2818
Chevron at Graham & Victoria
Sunoco at Arington & Greens Prairie.

Citgo at Villa Maria & South College shows $3.97, but that hasn't been updated since yesterday.

Be wary of it. That app is one of the most notorious for tracking not only your location, but your phone usage overall.

Just hit their website.

HEB at Jones Crossing had gas at $3.98 at 10:30am yesterday but I was running late for church and didn't stop. By the time I tried to gas up at 3:30pm, it had increased to $4.15. I ended up getting gas for $3.98 at the CS Walmart.

In Washington (state, not swamp), the pumps at some stations are now displaying a 0 in front of the current price.

They've upgraded the pumps in an expectation of the price going over $10.

A lot of these permits were purchased by companies at the tail end of 2020 to create a backlog before current president took office.

More likely they were trying to buy the permits before Biden got in. The Democrats have a long history of being anti-oil.

Makes sense. I wish they were using their record profits to expand drilling. Maybe that would help stabilize prices.

They've been told for years not to do that by pols and big investors. So they're giving it back to shareholders. Combine that with supply chain and labor issues, an unwillingness from banks to lend along with everything else going on, and they can't really expand drilling even if they wanted to.

Thanks. I spent my life in the bio pharmaceutical business, blasted by pols and the public alike for pricing issues they never understood, or we're will to acknowledge.

Other poster explained it, but yeah it was more like a "buy it while you can" situation.

Army corps of engineers did something similar with the border wall contracts/submittals.
