Oof: OPEC+ Panel Recommends Cutting Oil Production by 2 Million Barrels Per Day; White House Having "A Spasm and Panicking," Per US Official
An earlier report said that the panel might recommend a cut of more than one million barrels per day.
But, via Bonchie from RedState, the cut was deeper than that:That's the recommendation. It hasn't been formally accepted yet. But we're looking at a big cut, and a big hike in oil prices. Right before the midterms. From CNN, via Bonchie:
Javier Blas
@JavierBlas
BREAKING: OPEC+ Panel Recommends 2M B/D Cut to Output Limit | #OOTT
I understand why Russia wants to cut production-- maybe. I'm not sure why the Saudis would go along with it, but there are a couple of possibilities: 1, the Saudi crown prince is still angry that Biden accused him of murder, threatened him with consequences, and never apologized for doing so, even as he begged the Saudis to bail him out of a jam by increasing oil production to make up for the suppression of oil production that is a key plank of the Green New Disaster. 2, there is currently a fairly serious popular uprising going on in Iran. I hear from a source, who heard from his source, that this uprising is actually more serious than those in the West appreciate, and that the Revolutionary Guard has announced it will remain neutral if there's a credible challenge made against the regime itself. Recalling that Obama bailed Iran out of a similar threat-to-the-regime in 2009, I'm wondering if Biden is right now attempting to prop up the Iranian regime behind the scenes, and the Saudis (and the various other OPEC members who are allied against Iran) have decided to show their extreme opposition to the US again swooping in to save the mullahs. That is a complete wild-assed guess on my part. I know of no actual reporting suggesting a covert effort to aid the mullahs and I don't have any tips suggesting such a scheme, either. I'm just speculating about what could animate the Saudis to absolutely kick Biden in the Creepy Ivory Tombstone Veneers. And meanwhile the Biden Administration is calling this a "hostile act" and threatening our 60 year allies the Saudis -- "All to avoid more domestic oil production," as liberal-gone-sane Dr. Michael Shellenberger says. He posts this chart from the Wall Street Journal showing the oil leases granted by the federal government under presidents since JFK:
Members of the Saudi-led oil cartel and its allies including Russia, known as OPEC+, are expected to announce production cuts potentially up to more than one million barrels per day. That would be the largest cut since the beginning of the pandemic and could lead to a dramatic spike in oil prices. Some of the draft talking points circulated by the White House to the Treasury Department on Monday that were obtained by CNN framed the prospect of a production cut as a "total disaster" and warned that it could be taken as a "hostile act." "It's important everyone is aware of just how high the stakes are," said a US official of what was framed as a broad administration effort that is expected to continue in the lead up to the Wednesday OPEC+ meeting. The White House is "having a spasm and panicking," another US official said, describing this latest administration effort as "taking the gloves off." According to a White House official, the talking points were being drafted and exchanged by staffers and not approved by White House leadership or used with foreign partners.
President Joe Biden, spokespersons for his administration, and Congressional Democrats say they are trying to get out the truth about energy and climate change against Republican and fossil fuel efforts to deny it. Over the summer, Biden denied he was "limiting oil production" and accused oil refiners of restricting production. In July, White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said, "natural disasters... are getting worse because of climate change," which, he said, had caused the war in Syria. And Rep. Ro Khanna, on September 15, 2022, said, "If there was a war on energy, how is Exxon, Chevron, BP, and Shell making over 200% profits? You can't have a war on an industry and then they're having record profits." But every one of their statements was false. Biden has leased far less federal land and off-shore waters for oil and gas production than any president since World War II, oil refiners are operating at maximum capacity, and Biden's EPA shut down a major oil refinery in the US Virgin Islands in May. The number of weather-related natural disasters has been declining since this century, and the claim that climate change caused the war in Syria has been soundly and repeatedly debunked. And, as I explained to Rep. Khanna during the September 15 Congressional hearing, big oil and gas companies have big profits precisely because the Biden administration and others have been stifling production, thereby reducing supplies, and increasing prices and profits.And yet the government conspires with the monopoly corporations whose very existence they control to censor and punish anyone who disputes their New Green Disaster narrative. Biden remains committed to the Green New Disaster, which plans for the artificial scarcity of energy. As his "best friend" Obama said about shutting down electricity-producing coal-fired power plants, "Electricity costs will necessarily skyrocket." Oil and gas prices are necessarily skyrocketing as Biden reduces production to a trickle, but he doesn't want Americans to get angry about this all at once. He wants them to be like the frogs, who get accommodated to boiling water by having the temperature raised on them a little at a time. So when the water starts to bubble and boil, Biden runs to Saudi Arabia and begs them to just open the taps more, just for a while, or he drains the Strategic Petroleum Reserve a little more, until it's nearly dry -- just so the boiling water doesn't quite scald the frogs and send the jumping out of the pot he's cooking them in. Sometimes he even ends sanctions against brutally repressive regimes:
Michael ShellenbergerHe'll toss some cool water into the pot to reduce the over-boiling, but what he definitely does not want to do is take that pot off the stove. It is imperative that the pot be kept on the stove, and that the frogs always be kept on the slow boil. The Green New Disaster must continue at all costs, and no new American domestic oil production can be allowed. All he will do is Manage the Boiling by keeping it from boiling up too much all at once. But he will not turn the temperature down. The frogs must ultimately cook. They just must cook slowly enough that they do not revolt against the chefs. The Saudis are going to be inflicting some pain on America, but Biden could stop that pain almost immediately by ramping up America's own prodigious capacity for oil production. But he won't. Dinner must be served to the WEF, and you must eat the bugs.
@ShellenbergerMD They know that, by repressing oil production, they're making these resources scarce and expensive. That's how they want it. They think high prices will force people to buy costly electric cars. But they know that their position of effectively rationing energy is highly unpopular. It would have been easy for Biden to make up for loss of Russian oil imports through expanded domestic drilling. Instead he lifted sanctions on Venezuela, begged the Saudis, and, now, threatened OPEC members. It's as insane and as dangerous to American security as it looks.

It's a question of leases on federal land. State and private owned lands drill all they want, but the big issue is federal leases, which the feds have stopped.
Now, if states were to send National Guard units to defend private companies as they enter federal land and just set up shop, that would be interesting...

Less oil will result in higher prices, while demand might fall, it's not going to fall far enough that will offset the increased prices.

The LIVs I talk with are convinced that the Dems are going to give them more money then the Rs. Which is probably true. And they do NOT want to hear any questions about where that money is coming from.
Amusingly this is why inflation is a TERRIBLE choice for the Dems. They'd be better off pushing through a major tax increase.
The non-LIV Dem voters are evil and are quite happy with what the Dems are doing even if it does hurt them as well.

EPA was given a lot of authority over what states can do in regards to anything "environmental".
For example, our state had to get a waiver from the federal government to just decrease how often we check emissions in order to get state vehicle tags.
The whole thing was a crock of shit, it cost like $250k per car that was "out of spec". You could just buy new cars for people and it would be cheaper.

The CIA foments every civil unrest, including the op they ran in the US in 2019, turning the blacks loose on American Main Street.
They also have been fomenting unrest in Kazakhstan, the world's top producer of uranium.
No, It is not just the CIA. It is every nation that thinks they have a "Sphere of Influence." Russia meddles in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Think those Russian Troops in Syria are there for the dates, falafel, and suntans?

That version of the Joker was inspired directly by the cinematic interpretation of the German literary villain Dr. Mabuse.
In the Testament of Dr. Mabuse, Mabuse describes his vision of an Empire of Crime to sweep away the old world. This was a very thin metaphor of Nazism at the time. Chris Nolan told his brother Jonathan to use that vision of Dr. Mabuse as inspiration for the Joker in The Dark Knight.
So, I think the Joker metaphor is very apt.

Iran supports the Yemeni rebels adjacent to Saudi Arabia, who have actively launched short ranged ballistic missiles at SA oil facilities. There is no love between SA->Iran. Iran wants to take over SA and the Islam holy sites.

I'm prepared to go zero fuel oil consumption this year. But I have a passive solar home that never gets much below 50 degrees in winter. Keep a couple rooms toasty with a good 10-15k btu kerosene heater for quick warm up and some oil filled 5k btu space heaters to maintain 75 degrees and save a couple thousands.
I also have a shit load of seasoned wood and a wood stove, but that's too much like work. Still might have to in mid January for a week maybe.

Three things: first, they are naturally inclined to support anyone who is anti American. Second, the smart set in the Obama admin and now the Biden admin see Iran as the preferred choice for regional hegemon. They think that if Iran is in charge then they only have to deal with one gov in the region and everyone else will fall in line. Third, they are desperate for a nuke deal as a way of cementing their legacy. If the mullahs are overthrown then it was all for naught, and there's no grand treaty, no accolades from the professional foreign policy crowd, and no string of awards.

Near as I can make out, the idea is to make Iran the major player in the region to reduce US power and presence, making us less of a "world power".
While I can appreciate the sentiment of getting us the **** out of everyone else's business, the Iranian Mullahs are NOT who'd I'd tap to keep order in a region that affects our economic interests at such high levels.

All Biden had to do was not touch what we were doing in terms of drilling. He could've talked about how it was too hard to stop but that he would fight tooth and nail to do it. He didn't need to admit that being energy independent was good, he could've just gaslit us all on how committed he was to stopping it while doing nothing.
Instead, he shut the shit down. This admin was more than happy to take a thing that was working and destroy. No platitudes like with student loan forgiveness.

- 70s spikes caused massive exploration as well as transition away from oil for electricity and more efficient cars.
- combined with the ME wars and OPEC nations cheating, the recovery happened in the face of an oil glut.
Now throw in the fact that high unemployment at the time kept wage pressure down, and these two factors helped kill inflation.
We need both factors again, and we have shit for brains trying to transition to unicorn farts.

nantucket Sleigh ride, but yeah.
They had to throw water on the rope where it fed through the gunwhale as the whale sounded because it was moving so fast it would set the boat on fire.

my understanding is, Earth isn't making more, we're just finding more, and finding better ways to extract oil we couldn't extract in the past
also, oil isn't dead dinosaurs. It's jillions of years of accumulated sludge at the bottoms of ancient seas and lakes and oceans

Just like beaver pelts)/fur 150 years earlier.
I read somewhere that a pelt in hinterland America was worth $70, in New York $700, in London $7,000, and in China $70,000.
Not certain about the actual prices, but the point was the relative value, and the fierce competition for the resource.

The book is really something. Not exactly a happy book. The whale sinks the boat in the first chapter.
Those guys couldn't swim, a lot of them. And they were fighting off sharks as they peeled the blubber off the whales. All of it was completely nuts. Rendering the oil on the boat while at sea means a pretty good fire on board a wooden sailing ship.

The Saudis are going to be inflicting some pain on America, but Biden could stop that pain almost immediately by ramping up America's own prodigious capacity for oil production.
Alternatively, maybe the world's oil producers have figured out that if the green bullshit is successfully imposed on us, their oil becomes worthless, so it's in both their short term and long term interest to turn the heat way up right now. Short term profit, and scuttling the green cult for long term profit.

If the steering conditions and wind shear had been slightly different, Ian could have been a Cat 5 tearing right through our prime offshore oil production and import facilities.
The LOOP currently offloads 1.2 million barrels of oil/day. The port of Galveston used to take another million barrels/day. (Current rate?)
If those were both shut in for 12 months, then the U.S. economy would die without crude from the SPR.

First, to punish the US for manipulating prices through SPR releases. Now Slow Joe has to drain even faster just to break even.
Second, and this is the important one, as a show of force against the G7 and their attempts to fix Russian oil prices. A demand side cartel powerful enough to fix Russian prices is an existential threat to the supply side cartel that is OPEC+. Even though the G7s idea was stupid and would never work, the attempt just be punished- they came at the king (albeit with a butter knife) and missed.

1) The Saudis can't keep pumping at this rate. They say they have 50 years more of oil, but I've heard people estimate the answer is 7.
2) People I talk to say the brain drain for Russia is enormous and accelerating. Just like you can let go of the steering wheel and the car doesn't immediately crash, their oil industry is on autopilot. But it won't continue - this winter there will be a steep reduction in production, and there is not a damn thing they can do to stop it. better to cover that by saying your reduced production voluntarily. same people tell me the two pipelines most likely exploded due to operational issues.
