Output in Permian Basin poised to lead jump
By
The oil market got a stark reminder Tuesday that rising oil production in the U.S. could upend efforts by major producers to bring global supply and demand for crude back in to balance.
Just ahead of the settlement for oil futures prices CLG7, -1.62% on the New York Mercantile Exchange on Tuesday, the Energy Information Administration released a report on drilling productivity—forecasting a monthly rise of 41,000 barrels a day in February oil production to 4.748 million barrels a day.
“That is bearish for oil and a concern for [the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries,” said James Williams, energy economist at WTRG Economics, pointing out that the volume of new oil per rig has climbed because of gains in efficiency.
“If maintained, the expected February production gain means production from the shale plays will be up at least a half million barrels per day by the end of the year,” said Williams.
Prices for February West Texas Intermediate crude lost the bulk of the day’s gain on Tuesday to settle with a modest 11-cent climb at $52.48 a barrel.
“Since rigs are higher now than in December and should continue to increase, that means a half million [barrel-per-day] gain in production by year-end is a conservative estimate,” Williams said.
“Most OPEC members expected this, but U.S. shale production will be the closest monitored data after OPEC’s own compliance with quotas,” he said.
OPEC reached an agreement back in late November to cut output by 1.2 million barrels a day to no more than 32.5 million barrels a day and other non-OPEC countries pledged cut production by nearly 600,000 barrels more.
Meanwhile, recent data from Baker Hughes BHI, +1.61% revealed that the number of active U.S. rigs drilling for oil, a proxy for oil activity, rose for 10 weeks in a row before edging down for the week ended Jan. 13.
There have been concerns that the resulting rise in oil prices would provide incentive for U.S. producers to boost oil output.

But on Tuesday, speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Saudi Oil Minister Khalid al-Falih played down those worries.
He said it would take time for U.S. producers to regain lost ground and that U.S. oil shale players “will find they need higher prices,” in part, because of higher production costs.
“Many of the folks at Davos think shale will kill the rally, but that really cannot replace all of the oil production that was wiped out” by cuts in capital expenditures in the oil market, said Phil Flynn, senior market analyst at Price Futures Group.
Al-Falih has also said he believes that the oil market will rebalance by the middle of the year, suggesting that the glut of oil will be gone in six months—so the market may need the shale oil, said Flynn.
All told, “shale is on the road [to recovery], but it will be a long road,” he said.
Still, the EIA report Tuesday showed that oil output from the Permian Basin, which covers parts of western Texas and southeastern New Mexico, is expected to see the largest climb among the big shale plays—53,000 barrels per day in February.

The Permian is the only shale play expected to see a year-on-year oil-output rise in February, according to the EIA report.

Now bottom 10 said see 31/12/2017...when 31/12/2017 still lose to me, I am very sure Calvin will say all his stock pick is hold for 10 years...low life will forever low life...shame of u
2017-01-18 22:38
Don't speculate what Calvin say. Just keep to the rule. As for shale oil - some are even profitable if oil is Usd$30 a barrel as cost of production is only Usd$18 a barrel.
And with big boys like EXXON joining in. Shale oil extraction cost might be brought down lower as they have the economy of scale.
So the recent oil counters price surge might be overdone.
To chase and expect higher prices because other fools might participate?
Better don't count on it as you might the the last fool.

Never mind anbz - PM Corp will move up all the WAY!
First Target to cross 30 cents, next target 50 cents, next 80 cents, after that RM1.00.
And then RM1.50 Is The Target Price!
Over A Long Term - The Target Price will be RM10.00
Posted by calvintaneng > Oct 21, 2013 07:24 PM | Report Abuse
anbz that RM10.00 will be yet future. Set your sight on these possible targets first:
30 cents (anytime now)
next 50 cents
then 80 cents
after that RM1.00
And the Summit of Expectation is RM1.50 For PM Corp which is Very Possible.

DEAR friends at PM CORP. You are looking at the Best Of The Very Best Counter in BURSA! Why? What Are The Reasons? Let me give you the following reasons? Reason No.1. PM CORP(4081) has net Cash of 18.5 cts per share. When you buy PM Corp you are buying now (20th September, 2013) for Only 15 cts a Share. A discount of 3.5 cts per share. A Great Buy.
See
Calvin called for a buy on Pm Corp at 15 cts on September 2013 with a promise of Cash pay out.
As promised Pm Corp Gave 8 cts Cash Payout
So today's closing price of 16.5 cts + 8 cts cash pay out = 24.5 cts
minus original cost of 15 and divided by 3 year Pm Corp still give a decent yield of 63% or 21% per year for the last 3 years!
This even beats Warren Buffet at 20% now.

Where got buy Perisai at Rm1.00? Koonbee is lying. Calvin bought Perisai at 46 cts and cut loss around 40 cts.
Koonbee bought Melewar all the way down from 60 cts to cut loss at 35 cts.
See how many Calvin's call are chun chun with 100% to 200% Profits:
Calvin stock picks are not for goreng but for investing longer term.
Calvin invests like this
If Calvin sees a share is undervalue Calvin will start buying. And if prices dip after buying Calvin will average down & buy more.
But to do this Calvin has to study very carefully the TRUE VALUE of a Stock. If the Stock is good, even though it might not perform for months, eventually the price will rise up because of its fundamental intrinsic value later.
