EIA says 100K bpd was shaved off domestic supply last week. Then we just got an unexpected draw on inventories this morning. This is a roller coaster ride from week to week. I think we have to shave off another million bpd before things start shaping up. It is going to be a while.

The expectation is that mid year the floor will fall, and that it will fall fast... and many think that the labor and equipment shortage will cause a snapback, not a smooth pendulum swing.

Sandridge filed Chapter 11 this week and C&J elected to "educate their employees on bankruptcy" (based on their their 10Q which included a debt covenant breach), but they haven't filed yet.
What a time to be alive.

Want to play some Fantasy WTI Pricing?
Gotta have a reddit username, but someone's doing this:
The /r/oil fantasy game - Guess the future price of oil!
Seems like everyone is predicting and speculating on the price of oil around here. So i'm giving you a chance to put your money where your mouth is. Free to enter, all you have to do is guess the price of oil for the next 19 months. Each month your score is the difference between what you entered and the average of that month's WTI oil price.
Similar to golf, at the end of 2017 the low score wins and i'll send that person $100. I'll also update this post with some graphs.
Good luck! Link to enter is here: http://goo.gl/forms/2fIoNFx3KKMR9Iq82

The Basic Energy location close to where I work is gearing back up, they just called in an order to me today, and a coworker that lives near the location says they're starting to bring equipment into the shop to prepare it for use after being mothballed for something like 2 years. (at least it seems that long)

OPEC agree to a production cut (from 33.8 to 32.5M bbl/day) in Q1 2017, but there's not much confidence that it will do much.
Not much hope in post-OPEC rally. A poll by Reuters among nearly 30 analysts forecast prices for Brent crude will average $57.01 in 2017. It says OPEC would have to extend its deal beyond the six month period currently agreed upon to balance the market.
There were some anecdotal stories of recruiting calls picking up across the board the morning after the election, but I call BS.
Tangentially related, Trump picked Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt to head the EPA.
Pruitt:
“The American people are tired of seeing billions of dollars drained from our economy due to unnecessary EPA regulations, and I intend to run this agency in a way that fosters both responsible protection of the environment and freedom for American businesses.”
Trump:
“For too long, the Environmental Protection Agency has spent taxpayer dollars on an out-of-control anti-energy agenda that has destroyed millions of jobs, while also undermining our incredible farmers and many other businesses and industries at every turn,” Pruitt “will reverse this trend and restore the EPA’s essential mission of keeping our air and our water clean and safe. “My administration strongly believes in environmental protection, and Scott Pruitt will be a powerful advocate for that mission while promoting jobs, safety and opportunity.”
