70-80% decline rates within 12 months for each drilled lateral does not a long term profitable program make

you start losing money at like $80 a barrel

all this easy fed reserve money is drying up and you could see a pretty big reduction in drilling, which will result in lower production when the laterals drop off

it's not really the dollar's strength that I'm getting at...it's the ease with which operators can borrow money to finance the drilling program, which is directly attributable to QE

very few operators have enough free cash to sustain the drilling and recompletion activity necessary to keep their fields profitable over the long term, it's all debt funded

that's why onshore activity ground to a halt for months after the credit crunch in 08

nah breh, I see how that could be misinterpreted. I don't think that at all.

If anything, oil prices could have upward pressure when credit tightens. The unconventional side is too capital intensive right now and too reliant on debt. That's great for short-term gains when the credit is easy like right now, but when it tightens, activity dries up, which means less production, and thus upward pressure on futures due to demand outstripping supply.

Great for XOM, bad for EOG/SWN/CLR/DVN/etc

Agree. The majors like XOM and CVX, who both have tons of cash on hand, are probably solid buys right now.

I'd be wary of any E&P with lots of debt or minimal cash. OXY and EOG come to mind.

idiot pumo:

activity ground to a halt for months after late 08 primarily because many operators were tied up with dry gas plays and NG prices went straight to hell with no basis for their return.

it took some time for operators to reinvent themselves in liquids/oily plays. the operations well positioned in liquids post 08 were first movers and obviously did better.

i do agree with you about needing $70-$80 a BBL to make the wells worth drilling, and i think the USD is going higher, however you do not address the supply/demand issue.

see above

also, two other things:

saltwater disposal costs stay fixed or increase while your profits decrease, which compounds the pressure you feel when the decline rate settles in after that first year

and gas is so shitty right now that it's not worth the money to compress and transport it for sale, so you just end up flaring it off and losing more money.

Don't disagree brother. Higher borrowing costs will be bad for capital intensive industries that finance assets purchases through debt. I was just disputing the argument that Fed QE tapering would lead to a downward correction in the oil market. If anything, the decrease in production, at least domestically, would cause prices to increase.

You're barely in the money at $3.90/mmbtu gas. Most of the shit they've been drilling is just to HBP the leases and then subsequently shut the wells in until prices increase.

the optimist in me hopes that pressure will be applied on Gazprom around the time we get LNG exports up and running, so we can start supplying Europe right when Russia gets sanctionpwned

as for midstream, that's great for increased development in places like the Rockies where the pipelines are at capacity, but the federal and state governments have been fucking over midstream construction through public lands making it take longer (see Keystone XL for the most egregious and public example).

cheap gas, paradoxically, is great for downstream feedstock (manufacturing, chemicals, etc). It would be an interesting study to see what the equilibrium price is between downstream demand and upstream production.

Midstream guys like Enterprise, Kinder, etc. carry pretty big debt loads and generally finance pipeline construction with debt. So higher borrowing costs would see a decrease in new pipeline construction. If you couple this with lower domestic production, I would probably stay away from the midstream sector.

The success of the midstream sector has really been built on cheap credit and the surge in production of shale gas and tight oil. Fed tightening is going to end up fucking with both of those.

here's a question for you I've been pondering myself:

how long until the effects of QE tapering start to realize themselves? I think there will be a pullback starting in early 2016. I figure that's just enough time for the last of the money to float around and get used up and banks to start tightening the belt

I imagine we are gonna see pullback starting the middle of next year.

But more important than the credit issue is the inflation issue. I think more businesses are concerned about inflation in the US, as well as emerging markets, than the credit markets drying up from QE tapering.

Dunno, that's kind of the problem. The Fed doesn't know either, which is why they are taking this shoot-from-the-hip approach with QE tapering. Remember, Fed has left the door open to reinvigorate QE if they don't like what they see in US and foreign markets. Also, now that the ECB is dipping its toes in the QE water, I imagine the Fed is reexamining its tapering strategy.

Switzerland is still pretty insulated from the broader Euro Zone (although they were retarded to peg the Franc to the Euro).

Most emerging markets are going to get fucked by tapering, so that pretty much rules out anything in LATAM.

Idk, we should probably just all learn Mandarin and be done with it.
