The US oil industry was in a difficult position: oil has nowhere to go

18

The oil war, which began after the OPEC + participants could not agree on a reduction in production, hit American oil producers very quickly.

The overcrowded transportation infrastructure in the United States has forced pipeline operators to turn to oil companies to reduce production.



This became known from the record made on the social network Twitter authorized by the Texas Railway Commission Rayan Sitton:

Yesterday it was said that some Texas producers are beginning to receive letters from oil pipeline operators asking to reduce production due to overcrowded storage facilities.

According to a Bloomberg report, major US oil pipeline operators, such as American Pipeline LP and Enterprise Products Partners LP, sent out letters demanding that before they pumped the raw materials, customers proved that they had a buyer or a place to unload it.

The situation has become so critical that individual oil producers are forced to pay extra to customers for the export of oil.

Analyst at ESAI Energy consulting company Elizabeth Murphy predicts that oil refineries may soon stop, and then a drop in demand will force many US companies to “sell” oil at a surcharge directly from the wells.

Recall that the Department of Energy was not able to obtain Congressional approval for the acquisition of 77 million tons of raw materials in the Strategic Oil Reserve.

    That's wonderful, how ... the USA called Russia a gas station, but at the same time it’s getting out of her skin to become it!

      And the funny thing is, they do not really succeed. laughing But for some reason they do not stop .....
      Maybe we should take a closer look at those who insist on the need to close their "gas station"?

          Thanks! This means that not only "the United States found itself in a difficult position."
          And in Russia there is infa?
          Honestly, for me this is not the point, but it's nice when someone from the side confirms your conclusions.

      Are you rushing with the dollar again? laughing Already, hand over your 5 bucks to the exchanger and calm down. winked
      Do not recall what you said yesterday about the absence in the US of problems with the storage of oil? winked The bottle option is increasingly real. smile

        Alas. Even for the sake of your bottles and your desire to talk. I don’t have 5 bucks. Well, no, that's all.

        And somewhere near an article flashed - the USA Congress did not allow the purchase of 77 million of some oil in reserve.
        So, there are 77 million storage facilities, and there are bottles for you))))

          Then stop running around the site with the poster "Ace is gone, the course has fallen." Everyone knows the course.

          And somewhere near an article flashed - the USA Congress did not allow the purchase of 77 million of some oil in reserve.

          Exactly, something flashed somewhere, you shouldn't go into details? Try dividing those 77 million of "something there" by the monthly production and estimate how many storage facilities will last. At the same time, you can view the purchase price and compare it with the cost price.
          And only then refuse the bottles. laughing

            1) How impolite you are. Look deeper.
            2) What kind of fan are you to offer unnecessary work to others? USAA scurry around, let them count. Not fools, they can.

            Maybe you just want to talk?

              Thanks. I will consider for the future. hi

              2) What kind of fan are you to offer unnecessary work to others? USAA scurry around, let them count. Not fools, they can.

              Life will show.

              Maybe you just want to talk?

              I look - and you are not silent.

            Exactly, somewhere somewhere flashed, is it not worthwhile to delve into the details?

            We delve into the details. The price of oil is so low that it shuts down oil production in the United States from a variety of seams in a large amount. Tens of thousands of unemployed and many companies went bankrupt (chapter 11).
            As Lenin said in the movie:

            The revolution, about which the Bolsheviks spoke so long, tediously and giggly, was overthrown!

            In this situation (low oil prices + support of their own), Trump logically decided to buy 77 million barrels in reserve. But $$$ - $ 3 billion is needed for the purchase. And Congress, having recently allocated a $ 3 trillion package to fight the virus, refused Trump additional money to buy his oil. They continue to download for themselves, but to a lesser extent, something else goes on sale, prices, sometimes, in the range of $ 16- $ 22 per barrel, but because oil gives a profit of GDP in the region of 6% -8%, it is not critical.

              I think Vladimir Ilyich had a slightly different meaning. laughing It is quite logical that some of the enterprises are being closed down, the prime cost is different for everyone, and the financial possibilities to "sit out the crisis" too.
              For purchases at the expense of the budget, the information goes different, according to some unverified information, the price is offered below the cost price. If Trump was not given money, which, given the epidemic and "warm" relations with the Democrats, is quite plausible, then the situation becomes even more interesting.
              By the way, if it doesn't make it difficult, it would be interesting to look at these figures in "local execution", so to speak, to see the news from the fields. Compare with what they write with us.

                I don’t know how interesting it is, but if for free there is an opportunity to add oil to storage, then why not. Not yet given, maybe next. lucky month. Anyway - the storage is in reserve, the reserve, today we live in the extracted oil and the price of gasoline is $ 1.80 - $ 2.00 for 4 liters.

                By the way, if it doesn't make it difficult, it would be interesting to look at these figures in "local execution", so to speak, to see the news from the fields. Compare with what they write with us.

                The numbers voiced in this article are true. If you want more details, go to Yahoo (Russian) and on the top bar click Business (or Finance). Get a bunch of interesting info.
                If there are specifically questions by industry, I’ll try to find / translate, but unless I dig deep. The weather is good, +17, and from tomorrow a semi-deep quarantine - only for groceries and a pharmacy - otherwise a fine of up to $ 5 or 1 year in prison.
                Latest news:
                On Monday, the US flagship crude oil fell to around $ 10 a barrel, the weakest since late 1998, as demand fell sharply due to the coronavirus pandemic and rapid storage.

                  Thanks for the information.
                  We have heard so far that the fine for 1 time is 15, repeatedly up to 000. But this is only in Moscow, they quarantined them until mid-April. The country is still calmer, quarantine for 150 week, but, I believe, these measures will apply to everyone.

    I’ve been looking through articles here, I’ve gotten into the troubles of their oil workers, but Mr. Brighton put all the points on i in the comments and reassured them that they’re okay. Yes, and here one gentleman, basing inexplicably on what, is gushing with optimism. I wonder how sideways the ruble exchange rate strengthens the American oil industry. Does she sell oil for rubles?

    The Oil War began after the Russian Federation withdrew from OPEC +, and very quickly and painfully hit Russian oil producers.
