109 pages of paper and ink delivered by fossil fuel, thrown right away, to be picked up by a fossil fuel truck and sent to China by fossil fuel for recycling. Worth it for a sale, yet

: Crown Prince: Adopting unrealistic policies to reduce emissions by excluding main sources of energy will lead to unprecedented inflation and rise in energy prices.

Oil bears: There are literally one billion ninety two million barrels of oil in storage in the US. There is no shortage of oil. The price should be $35
Think about all the people who got laid off in Oil & Gas, because their C-suite relied too heavily on debt financing and couldn't even make it through 6 months of poor prices without gutting the place.
Spent time with a very capable generalist this weekend
-1st order: unaware of LNG prices rn
-2nd order: unaware of oil inventory
-3rd order: unaware of full stack implications (eg: fertilizer)
We are in a crazy place and people are offsides, could get really weird
In January if you said “oil is going to $65” you were a wild crazy person with zero credibility.
Keep track of those people. Some of them are right a lot.
Also keep track of the people stuck in the status quo.

here's a little info built around our proprietary data. I thought it would be interesting to share the **non**-prop data.
Our capabilities lead us to explain issues that anyone could pursue; but we know what puzzle pieces are needed
Excess DUCs - almost gone
Not the first time, but I'll do it again for fun. 2017, here's why I got kicked out of every office building in the world.
Maybe someone becomes a fiduciary and decides they like money.
At FLOW we got some questions yesterday on well productivity. I think there's context and clarification that would help everyone. Quick thread that includes some of FLOWs machine learning insight.
First, we see a clear downtrend in per-foot productivity. This is a result mostly
I’ve avoided politics my entire time on this platform. I will continue to.
But, the current state of the Energy market and the policy that affects it is driven by cult-like behavior. I will acknowledge policy fundamentalism for investment purposes. It’s required
So, now that a year has past and the $XOM $PXD deal has closed, it's a good time to review how FLOW understood the deal in real time, connected the capital markets to the subsurface, and predicted not just the deal, but also the premium. Importantly, this frame work drives out
$XOM and $PXD to understand it, we need some math.
We’ve been on this for months. It’s the key to undertaking US Supply.
There are 2 choices in E&P: reduce F&D or maximize NPV. Wall Street rewards the first 1/n

Last week had a conversation with a smart, reasonable, open minded friend who just didn’t know all his ski gear came from petroleum products. His mind was blown by the extent of oil in his life.
This is so crazy. The SPR release strategy was built on bad forecasts of +1mm/d US production. 110mm barrels released on a false notion. They should have called FLOW. I finally found the source
@McIlroyRory
Rory, 6 handicap here. 10 yards less will absolutely make this much less. 274 (gps below). This is all about defending a small number of high $ urban courses that can’t expand to host a US Open.
Lots of work on the GEARS system and expensive club fitting (with $$ shafts). Best
@ericnuttall
For the historicals, 400-500k/d of NGLs* needs to be added to the older records to make the records compare. This would make the all-time-high 13.5MM/d.
1) we aren't "at all time-highs"
2) we aren't *accelerating* suddenly
I drew in about what a historical restatement would
Had a great time yesterday at the AAPG Mid-Continent Section Convention. I presented on the importance of using data to make uncomfortable decisions.
I titled the presentation, Oil & Gas Data is not your Friend.
I'd like to share some of my slides.

tweet. TTF traded at 300 this week, and JKM at 70. It's not just about "getting through the winter" - These costs are being borne by people whose heat will = their mortgage. Plus it's not over in spring, it starts again
Presented this in public 3 times 51 weeks ago and put it in the WSJ.
All of the Delaware distribution is getting worse.
The great thing about FLOW is we aren't consensus, but consensus comes to us a year later!!!
Diving a little deeper into Lea County production numbers... the whole distribution is falling, not just the top. It also holds true for both primary and secondary targets
Our flattish oil production is predictable. That’s neither good or bad, unless you trusted bad forecasts. The marginal price most likely has to rise in response.
Been right for 4 years -We can help you get this right too
@ianbremmer
So the price of LNG to Europe is skyrocking to make this happen. Is this still "very good"?
This is completely untenable. The economies are being choked off just so they won't freeze.
@ShitFund
Non-investment owner of the firm jets in and forces 2 PMs to sell 120mm of a distressed bond at 68. Company acquired next day triggering COC. Bonds trade to par. Owner jets back and fires the 2 PMs.
I have much better stories.
The RRC should not have to tell you to drop your rigs. If oil is $25 and your wells make 330k bbl you are going to net $6mm and you are spending $8.5mm+
So if the US sells their Strategic Petroleum Reserve so China can stop draining their Strategic Petroleum Reserve, should we really be using the word, “Strategic”?
$DVN - with Validus pocketing $1bn for a year’s work, reminder, it’s always about commodity prices.
If you underwrite the strip you get risk free less the vol of strip.
If you bet on prices you get a ranch
$ARKK $GBTC ponzi summary. ARK buys GTBC at a premium. Incentives BlockFi and 3Arrows to buy BTC and deliver in kind. BTC goes up. GBTC goes up. Once ARK stops paying a premium, BTC stops going up. ARK must keep buying, not just hodl. /end
With shale declines, it drives me crazy that producers focus so heavily on the forward curve. Hedges and roll. Kills me. It is an at-the-money business. Capex is the hedge, not futures
If instead of going net zero and crypto (which isn't net zero) Ontario Teachers had simply put their $95MM into $XOM stock they would have $181MM now instead of zero.
Yes, I know it's <1% for them, but $181MM can pay a lot of pensions.
Quick hit: a sympathetic acceleration of US drilling will blast service costs through the roof. Companies will destroy their inventory. Shareholders (ie:pensions) will once again be screwed.
even if russia cuts off all the gas (as is likely), it increasingly looks like germany can get through the winter without severe rationing.
very good news. russia’s energy influence over europe is nearly over.
