Distillate Fuel -- An Observation -- June 13, 2018 -- Most Extraordinary Graphic
Just moments ago I posted this:Weekly petroleum report, link here:I thought that was a "positive" report regarding distillate fuel -- production actually crept up slightly, and was very slightly above my "benchmark."
- down a lot more than expected
- down 4.14 million bbls
- now at 432.4 million bbls
- WTI immediately after report -- up 25 cents/bbl -- now at $66.54
- refinery operating capacity way up: 95.7% -- highest I've seen in a long time
- gasoline production crept up slightly; I use "10 million bbls/day" as the benchmark; most recent data, up to 10.5 million bbls/day
- distillate fuel production crept up slightly; I use "5 million bbls/day" as the benchmark; most recent data, up to 5.1 million bbls/day
But then this. This is an incredible graph. A huge thanks to John Kemp for spotting this:
I have opined many times that if I had but one metric to follow to judge the health of the US economy, it would be amount of gasoline consumed.
Now, without question, I would argue that if one had but one metric to follow the industrial activity of the US, the one metric to use: distillate fuel consumed.
The Bakken is booming again. The Permian is on fire. And I often forget to mention it bu the Eagle Ford is doing very, very well.
In addition, all the new petrochemical activity and new construction going up along the Texas - Louisiana gulf coast.
This "stuff" all uses a lot of diesel fuel.
From the EIA:
And look at this. John Kemp predicted this seven months ago:
Can anyone say, "synchronized global economy"?
