1 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Surveillance. Most of global growth is dominated 2 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 1: by the emerging economies. China is the single lingest contributed 3 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,160 Speaker 1: to overall global growth. Now, when we look at what's 4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 1: happening in the US, that ultimately is going to be 5 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: the driver of policy settings around the world. As long 6 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 1: as the dollar remains on the defensive, not just to 7 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: the Europe but also to the end some emerging market currencies, 8 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 1: then the outlook for gold will continue to be good. 9 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Surveillance your link to the world of economics, finance 10 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,840 Speaker 1: and investment on Bloomberg Radio. Good morning. It is seven 11 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: am on Wall Street, seven pm in Kuala Lumpur, where 12 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 1: your ring it buys one point six percent less. After feed, 13 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: officials began suggesting markets are mispriced for the possibility of 14 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 1: a June move. Global equity markets lower, but bonds becalmed. 15 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: The head of a host of US economic indicators for you, 16 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: we have them all under surveillance. I Michael McKee along 17 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: with Tom Keane. Here's where we are this morning. The 18 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: stock six hundred in your up is down three points 19 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 1: nine tenths of eight percent. The docks is off by 20 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 1: eighty two points eight tenths of a percent, and the 21 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,320 Speaker 1: foots see in London is down by seventy five points 22 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: one point to two percent. UH. That is being blamed 23 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: by traders on earnings and a mediocre economic outlook in Europe. 24 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: In the US, futures off by fourteen points, seven tenths. 25 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 1: Stal Evening future is a hundred and two points lower 26 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: six tenths. NASTAC futures down twenty nine. That's a seven 27 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: tenths drop. Earnings not so great here either. We have 28 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:38,279 Speaker 1: one UH just crossing the Bloomberg professional service here, Time 29 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: Warner the UH the main company, the cable company, not 30 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: the um. Time Warner Inc. As opposed to cable adjusted 31 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: earnings to share down at forty nine. The forecast was 32 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: for a dollar thirty. We will know more about the 33 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: economy at eight fifteen and eight thirty. Bonds, as they say, 34 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: be calmed ahead of that little change in the curve. 35 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: With the tenure note, you'll one point seven nine percent, 36 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: the five year one point to five, and your two 37 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: year at seventy six basis points. But let's look at currencies. 38 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: The dollar index higher after San Francisco FED President John 39 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,399 Speaker 1: Williams and Atlanta FED President Dennis Lockhart joined Dallas FED 40 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: President Robert Kaplan, who spoke with us last week, in 41 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: suggesting that if economic data comes in okay, June is 42 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 1: a very live meeting for the Fed. The euro is 43 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: lower this morning, the yen is at the moment about flat, 44 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: but a little bit higher one or six seventy three, 45 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: but still still much stronger. But it's emerging market currencies 46 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: where you really see the move. They ring it as 47 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: I noted down one point six percent, the Korean one 48 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: down one point two percent, the Rupia not of Indonesia 49 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: down six tenths and the Chinese move the u N 50 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: reference rate by the most in nine months right now, 51 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: going for UH six point five O four seven. It 52 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: is also the dollar uh an effect on oil usually 53 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 1: oil prices, though a little bit higher right now West 54 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: Texas four tents of eight percent, Bread Crew three tents. 55 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: Is that the chicken or the egg the dollar and 56 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: oil today? Skip York is principal oil research analyst at Wood, 57 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 1: Mackenzie and Houston. He is in our studios today. UH. 58 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: Usually you'd see the dollar go one way, all go 59 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: the other way. Has that correlation broken down over the 60 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: last some months because of the oversupply out there and 61 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: all the extraneous exogenous factors affecting the dollar. Yeah, I 62 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: think you're right. I think we've got We've just got 63 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: to confuse it. We've had a confusing market, not just 64 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: in oil, but and not just in the financials but 65 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: across all commodities. And I think the historical correlations have 66 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: broken down. Um, we've also had this technological change with 67 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: tight oil and how responsive it looks like it will 68 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,119 Speaker 1: it could, it will be uh, and maybe those historical 69 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: relationships needn't now need to reset. And we're just in 70 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: that period of time where we we don't know what, 71 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: we don't know what what's the short term? Let me 72 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: ask you that because we do get the the inventories 73 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: dated today, oil prices have moved up significantly over the 74 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. We're still even though we've been 75 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: down for a couple of days, we're still in the 76 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: mid forties. But in the short run, where do you 77 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 1: think we go? Do we stay in this area, go 78 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: back down or start to go back up again. We 79 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 1: think that you know that the physical value of oil 80 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: is somewhere in the mid forties. We expect that there's 81 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: going to be volatility around it every sort of major event. 82 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: You know, there's a the expectation that today we're going 83 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: to see a build number that could possibly put downward 84 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: pressure on prices once the data comes out. You know, 85 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: we have another OPEC meeting coming in early June. UM. 86 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: The consensus expectation is that there will not be a 87 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: production cut similar to the last three meetings. That's probably 88 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: gonna another downward pressure moment for oil. But the trend, 89 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,239 Speaker 1: and the reason why the trend is on the upswing, 90 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: is that we're starting to see those negative numbers coming 91 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: in and non OPEC supply. We're starting to see production 92 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: turnover from the us UH. It's starting to spread to 93 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 1: other parts of non OPEC. That's that, along with the 94 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: weakening dollar, is what's driving that that trend upward. But 95 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: there's always going to be these events that are gonna 96 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: put a down draft over you know, days or over 97 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: a few day period. Good news, Good morning, Ever, skipy, 98 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: work with this West Texas Intermediate three up eighteen since 99 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: bran crude up sixteen since Bloomberg surveillance. This morning brought 100 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: you buy Investco and let's go believes it's time to 101 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: bench the benchmarks to consider active management and factor based strategies. 102 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: Find out more and invests go dot com, slash high conviction. 103 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: One are the great things a Skip York about Woods 104 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: Mackenzie is you actually spend a lot of time asking 105 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,359 Speaker 1: what are people actually doing, not what they're talking about. 106 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: What is the doing of the oil business in America 107 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 1: right now? I think the doing right now is that 108 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: it is still down in that hunker down phase. It 109 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: was sort of you know, adapt us. Now we were 110 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: in an adaptive phase in I think we're now in 111 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: that survival for days and the people who make it 112 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: to the other side are gonna be looking for the 113 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: growth phase when we get probably in late sixteen into 114 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: seen So what are they doing right now? There? They're 115 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: starting to ask themselves. They're starting to think about what 116 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: they do when oil prices allow them to reposition. And 117 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: the concern that the producers have is, you know, oil 118 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: prices get to get to a point where this well 119 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: is economic. Um, but am I gonna Am I gonna 120 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: have the financial ability to drill the well? Uh? Does 121 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: my balance sheets support a stronger drilling program? And then 122 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 1: can I actually get the work done? We increasingly hear 123 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: fears about the oil field services not being able to deliver. 124 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: One measure of the bounce back Michael McKee excellent. Down 125 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: from two thousand fourteen peaks and up off that bottom. 126 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: We better pressor red button. Let me give you an 127 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: even more current one here, noble uh energy. Um, they're 128 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: in the MP company out with earnings. You're not going 129 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: to be surprised to know that they have made fifty 130 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: three cents a share in the consensus was fifty seven. 131 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: But here's the headline that catches my eye. They're boosting 132 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: their yearly production view. Uh. Is this because prices are 133 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: going up and we're gonna see all these guys come 134 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: back into the market and put price pressure on prices again. 135 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: I think the revisions we're seeing now is that, you know, 136 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: you've got that inventory of drill but uncompleted wells, and 137 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: I think people are going to start tapping into those 138 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: and and and bleeding that inventory back down to sort 139 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: of historical norms. Uh. So those are relatively easy. You know, 140 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: in a rising oil price environment, those are the easy 141 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: barrels to go after because you've already sunk a lot 142 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: of the cost of the well. But once you've tapped 143 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: that inventory. What do you do next? And that's sort 144 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: of the that's sort of the does that last this tapping? Yeah, 145 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: we think they can go into the inventories that it's 146 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: you know, it is about a twelve month twelve to 147 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: eighteen month period before for them to bleed down those inventories. 148 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: But there will always be a mix. They will not 149 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: just do uncompleted wells. They'll be doing some new drilling 150 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: and someone completed wells. And what we'll see is that 151 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: the mix will change from completing on the the inventory 152 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: wells to drilling new wells. That's what we'll see that 153 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: shift over the Christian I haven't asked in all the uh, 154 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: the emotion of the last two years from a hundred 155 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: dollars down to forty dollars is the romance of deep 156 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: sea oil? Does it just not make sense anymore? I mean, 157 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: is anybody out there drilling to find the motherload? Well? 158 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: Exploration has uh, you know, essentially collapsed. Uh. And most 159 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: of the exploration activity that we're seeing in thirteen and 160 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: fourteen was in the deep and the altar deep water. 161 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: We're seeing a lot less of that activity. That's the 162 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: concern I was in Brazil in late March, and they're 163 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: very worried that the shine has gone off their coin 164 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,599 Speaker 1: and they may not be able to get the international 165 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: attention back even in a recovered environment. Interesting, Uh, nobody's 166 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: putting money into it anywhere. They're cutting back so much 167 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: at this point that um in a in a way, 168 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: it doesn't just take the pressure off the end of 169 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: oil story and the and the shift over to you 170 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: alternative energy. Well, you know, with lower oil prices in 171 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: the last year, I mean you really saw it in 172 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: the hybrid market in the US, where you know, hybrid 173 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: auto sales dropped off dramatically because you know, gasoline prices 174 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,439 Speaker 1: had fallen a dollar a gallon. And it's certainly harder 175 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: for alternative energy to compete in a forty dollar world 176 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: versus a hundred dollar world. But as long as they 177 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: keep making technological innovations, then their their competitiveness improved. So 178 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: they're part of the mix. There'll be a rowing part 179 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: of the mix. The question is that is the growth 180 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: right alternative fuels, not whether or not they exist in 181 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: the mix.

Scrupully sinfully? Houston, Texas seven 238 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: seven zero five seven What is the state of the 239 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: great State of Texas? I mean we have all of 240 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: our stereotypes smash them for us, what is the state 241 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: of Texas? I think the state of Texas it's healthier 242 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: than UM then it's ever been in any other price correction. 243 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: I think the state and in Houston in particular, learned 244 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: the lesson in nineteen eight six and diversified itself. So 245 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: you know, the the estimate is that UM Texas has 246 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: lost seventy thousand oil uh jobs in the last year, 247 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: but it's growing jobs in the other part of the sector. 248 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: So the mood in Houston is it's somber. It took 249 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: a while for it to get there. But there's also 250 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: a view that it's not the end of day. Well 251 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: is there you're in the business. Is there a feeling 252 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: that we have seen most of the job cuts from 253 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: all these companies that we're going to see or is 254 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: there another big round coming. I think the feeling is 255 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: is that the worst is past us where but it's 256 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: it's a we're in a flat spot, so probably don't 257 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: see a lot more job cuts cutting, but we also 258 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: don't see jobs being at it. That's kind of the 259 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: mood in the in in the Michael, I bring this 260 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: up because lower for longer is the phrase, Texas is 261 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: not a lower for longer state. No, they want to 262 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: get up and get going. Uh. The other thing that 263 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: I've heard is the oil price you're going back up 264 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: as you mad, and we're gonna open some of them 265 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: wells that are there. But there was some coming to 266 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: the effect that the companies that want to do that 267 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: are gonna have trouble finding workers because, much the same 268 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: as the construction industry discovered after the collapse of the 269 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: housing market, all the people who get laid off go 270 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: on and find other jobs and aren't willing to come back. Yeah. 271 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: I was in Oklahoma City a few months ago and 272 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: one of the executive one of the CEOs of one 273 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: of the independents said the worst thing for the oil 274 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: industry right now is five percent unemployment. And what he 275 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: meant by that was that people go off and find 276 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: other jobs. And they had these great anecdotes of keeping 277 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: track of some of the better rig crew managers and 278 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: captains and calling off and just kind of saying how 279 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: are things going, and having them increasingly say stopped calling 280 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: because I found a job in Beaumont, Texas working in 281 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: a petrochemical plant, or I'm now a welder and uh, 282 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: this other spot, and I'm just not going back to 283 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: the volatility of the patch. So you know, thanks for 284 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: thanks for checking, but stop checking. We were when we 285 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: used to read four This is long ago when big 286 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: companies had printed annual reports. Some of you may remember 287 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,239 Speaker 1: actually reading an x on Or Mobile annual, a Texaco 288 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: annual report. Um. When I look Skip York at the 289 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: price that they assume, how has Big Oils price changed 290 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: after this tobacco? Yeah? I think Big Oil was one 291 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: of the one of the sectors in the up stream 292 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: that never really kind of enthusiasm. It never went agree. 293 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: I think they never thought it was hundred dollars per 294 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: aver um. But I think what they did do is 295 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: they were on programs where drilling or development programs where 296 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: they needed about seventy dollars a barrel to break even 297 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: on cash flow um, which is, you know, far away 298 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: from a hundred dollars barrel. They're now pairing themselves back 299 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: when we think they're now down into the low fit. Okay, 300 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: but this morning it's some tower in Houston or wherever 301 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: they're modeling two thousand twenty. Are they even holding the meeting? Uh? Well, 302 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: they they are holding meeting they have to hold the meeting. Right. 303 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: If you're somebody like an x on or a shell, Uh, 304 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: tight oil isn't a big part of your portfolio. Might 305 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: be the growth part of the portfolio, but your portfolio 306 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: is still driven by these longer lead projects and you've 307 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: got to be figuring out I mean what in the 308 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: fall late late last year, we sat with a number 309 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: of planning groups that said, you know, we've got to 310 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: be We've got projects that we know we need to 311 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: sanction right now. What we're looking for is the price 312 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: signal that tells us that three to five years out 313 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: it's the right decision to make it now. And so 314 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: they are having those meetings. What they're trying to figure 315 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: out is, you know, it's not the whereas the price 316 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: of oil today, but it's trying to figure out what 317 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: that trajectory is and then when do they time their 318 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: sanctioning decision to match that trajectory. Well, let me ask 319 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 1: you this, this is a problem the Gulf States went 320 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: through thirty forty years ago. Uh, what is what should 321 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: the price be? They answered it by forming a cartel 322 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 1: OPEC and set a price. What's likely to happen in 323 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: the United States when we have this ongoing issue of 324 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: you know, the price goes up and then everybody jumps in, 325 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: and then we get too much inventory, and then the 326 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: price goes down and you get this volatility. Is it 327 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 1: gonna work itself out where people generally agree on a 328 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: stable price or we're gonna see volatility for years? I think, 329 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: you know, tight oil might be the the new driver 330 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,400 Speaker 1: of volatility. And what what you could see what could 331 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: be stabilizing or what could strip volatility out of that 332 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 1: tidal oil response? Is you know, as the majors add 333 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: more tight oil to their portfolios, which they do want 334 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 1: to do, they will drill it as a portfolio, not 335 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: on a well by well basis, So as they become 336 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 1: a bigger part of the tight oil footprint, you may 337 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: not see as dramatic a reaction in tight oil to 338 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: a change in the oil price then you would have 339 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: seen if it was just the independence that we're in, 340 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 1: that that space of the upstream where's is oilty here? 341 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 1: It's totally irresponsible question, but I'll go with it this morning. 342 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: Where's oil in a year?

If we go out to 347 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: the end of twenty seventeen, we think we're in the 348 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 1: you know, the upper six fifties, low sixties. It's this 349 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: is going to be a long, slow slog and this 350 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 1: is the longer part of lower for longer.
