How does cost of production affect supply? It obviously depends on the market price of the product
How fast can the industry react to price changes when developing new sources of supply? Highly dependent on the type of production, whether onshore, offshore, fracked, deep well, light crude, heavy crude, tar sands, etc.

Re: Can the Democrat Party be saved?
NYMEX crude price futures are in mild backwardation over the next several years. Brent crude futures show a near term increase followed by a longer term decline. NYMEX natural gas shows similar if not more extreme backwardation. The RBOB contract is the only one showing relative stability over the next year and this is more a function of refinery capacity than crude supply.Dickc wrote: ↑Nov 24th, '21, 13:15Not ignoring international demand, but the change in American attitude was the straw that made the Saudi’s withdraw some production to force up market prices.

Keystone is future supply, but the markets DO have a future look to them, so this does factor in, most likely not to a major degree. It shows the trend of the US for the next few years, thus pricing in a premium.
The market is clearly looking at this as a short term supply issue except for gasoline.

Re: Can the Democrat Party be saved?
NYMEX crude price futures have been in mild backwardation for most of the last decade. This is because buying a contract THAT FAR in the future has risk. That risk is that Saudi Arabia can open the taps and FLOOD the market at any time it wants. Lets say that Russia does something that really pisses off the Saudi's, they can retaliate by selling anotehr two to three million barrels a month and that would take the legs out from under Russia's main source of income. The fact that the futures contracts are so high is the promise that the Democrats are going to keep f*** up the US oil market in pursuit of their green dreams.Bubba wrote: ↑Nov 24th, '21, 16:28NYMEX crude price futures are in mild backwardation over the next several years.

The lower cost producer can profitably continue whereas a higher cost producer will reach a loss point sooner in a declining market, where they lose money on every barrel produced.

Re: Can the Democrat Party be saved?
You clearly knew the general answer to the second question but, with respect to tar sands production, that will always (at least with today’s technology) be at the higher cost end. They will generally continue to produce, however, due to the cost of shutting down and starting up.Mister Moose wrote: ↑Nov 24th, '21, 20:18Bubba wrote: ↑Nov 24th, '21, 16:14Mister Moose wrote: ↑Nov 24th, '21, 14:50Which is cheaper, rail or pipeline?

As to the third question, the range can be months at the low end and years at the high. Obviously, offshore deep water production will be at the high end. Those arguing over, for example, the government banning new leases for offshore exploration and drilling are trying to make political points without any understanding that the action has zero impact on gasoline prices today, tomorrow, or even five years and more out. If you want more detail than that, find yourself an oil and gas drilling and production engineer.

Re: Can the Democrat Party be saved?
I think electric cars are going to f#ck up the oil market far more effectively than any democrat agenda. Long term outlook for oil is lower demand. Most of the fighting over policy today will look like arguing over grains of sand in a desert by 2030. In that respect, efforts to increase oil production and transport infrustructure today seem like a waste of effort, and not really worth the environmental consequences.

Re: Can the Democrat Party be saved?
Former “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett was convicted on five counts Thursday evening on charges he orchestrated a fake hate crime against himself nearly three years ago, while jurors acquitted him of one other count.
A jury of six men and six women deliberated more than nine hours over two days before finding Smollett guilty of five of six counts of disorderly conduct, accusing the actor of staging a fake racist and homophobic attack against himself in January 2019, and then lying to police about it, in a bid for publicity. Jurors found him not guilty of the sixth count of disorderly conduct.
LOCK HIM UP!!!
