The back end of the oil strip is down 3-4% today. Gas also down the same as well as the prompt month.

Oil stocks are getting crushed today but WTI is relatively flat. I assume recession fears, but did a specific report come out?

and this is why the DoD cares when you want to have controllers on gas systems that have any level of remote access to controlGordo14 said:cone said:

Honestly wouldn't surprise me. The timing (right before Russia cuts off gas to Europe is just way too convenient.

I am with you. To cause an event that results in a loss of containment is one thing. To cause an event that leads to failure of relief devices and a vapor cloud that ignites by static electricity in the gulf coast environment and for that subsequent fire to cause enough damage to shut a plant down for months is another.Ogre09 said:cone said:

I'm not buying it. The event was brought under control very quickly. I'm still betting on thermal expansion of something blocked in leading to a rupture and release. Interesting theory though, and not out of the realm of possibility.
i can tell you from much experience that HAZOPs don't catch every scenario. thermal expansion stuff is easy to miss. even easier when you are talking about transient operating modes and not "normal operation"cone said:
well clearly the layers of protection were defeated
this thing should have been HAZOP'd within the last ten years for sure. it just got commissioned for export.
does anyone know if the loss of containment was between the trains and the tanks or between the tanks and the jetty?

What is causing high gasoline prices? I get that demand is up significantly with Covid restrictions ending. Is the bottleneck at crude production, refining capacity, or both? Are we exporting too much crude or refined products to cover European demand replacing Russia? I saw US refining capacity decreased significantly with permanent closures during Covid demand drops in 2020-2021. And obviously crude prices are up.
Interested in data, not political opinions.

While we're on the topic of gasoline, I'd be interested to hear thoughts on Nacero. Nacero plans to build facilities which input pipeline natural gas and output gasoline. They've been planning a $6 billion facility in the Permian for about 4 years now.

We took a swordfish trip out of port A last Thursday. There were 15-20 tankers staged for the first few miles out. All anchored up. Is that normal backlog?

With liquids pricing and demand this high, maybe they are forecasting return to massive negative gas differentials in parts of the Permian if development jumps back up? That does seem like a significant price risk for large capital investment though.
