Harvey -- Wasn't He An Invisible Rabbit? -- IN PROGRESS -- August 29, 2017
It looks like every news outlet is finally getting to the oil story and Hurricane Harvey. Might as well try to consolidate them in one place, starting with some earlier posts:- Hurricane Harvey "tests" US shale -- WSJ -- August 29, 2017 (earlier today)
- hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Harvey tell US shale's story -- Bloomberg -- August 28, 2017
- (yesterday)
- tropical storm Harvey continues to dump water on Houston, WTI at $46.72 -- August 28, 2017
- how will Hurricane Harvey effect US crude oil supplies? -- August 28, 2017
- somewhat related, Venezuela -- August 28, 2017
- after Hurricane Harvey, WTI flat to slightly down -- August 28, 2017
Harvey sends gasoline prices climbing, deepens Venezuela's suffering -- Washington Post -- August 2, 2017. This story has so many story lines, one could blog any number of posts -- but succinctly:
- we're not in Kansas any more: folks thinking the oil sector is where it was when Katrina struck have been under the Geico Rock
- the Bakken shale revolution changed everything
- the US SPR is no longer needed: we have the Permian, the Eagle Ford, the Bakken, the Marcellus, and the Utica -- just to start, and much more after that
- gasoline prices climbing -- give me a break: 10 - 15 cents/gallon, tops. Compare this to what an OPEC embargo would mean -- $1.00 to $1.50/gallon to begin, then rationing and maybe worse
- Venezuela suffering: oh, give me a break. Venezuela has more problems than a few VLCC's in queue off the LOOP
- Homes hit worse by Hurricane Harvey may not have electricity for months
- lower utility bills for the homeowners, Bloomberg might have added
- solar panels would not have helped
- Jim Polson, the writer, should have a blog
- actually the NY Times got it wrong:it's a national vulnerability
- the only reason the oil industry's infrastructure is located off the coast of Texas and Louisiana is because no other states are willing to help out
California: some talking head said that gas prices would go up across the US. First, as mentioned above, gasoline prices might go up 5 - 15 cents/gallon, but nothing compared to what an OPEC embargo of the 1980s would have done. But this is even more interesting: the hurricane in Texas should have no effect on gasoline prices in California. California is an island; the state doesn't get oil from Texas and the state formulates its own gasoline at in-state refineries. If the price of gasoline rises in California, someone is taking advantage of the situation.
