Oklahoma’s Production Tax Increase and the Biggest Problem Facing STACK/SCOOP Producers

From The Oklahoman Readers asked the Oklahoman about the potential that gross production taxes might be increased if Drew Edmondson is elected governor. The Oklahoman’s energy reporters, Adam Wilmoth and Jack Money, fielded questions during their monthly online energy chat on Tuesday. This is an edited transcript of that conversation. To see the full transcript, go to NewsOK.com. Q: I’ve heard that the tax revenue from the special session’s gross production tax increase has not come in yet. Can you explain how that works? Wilmoth: The gross production tax rate on the first three years of a well’s production increased to 5 percent beginning July 1. Tax Commission spokeswoman Paula Ross said the tax is collected two months after production (i.e., the tax on January production doesn’t get paid until March 25), so the state should see the impact of the increase on Sept. 25, when the tax on July’s production is[Read More…]

BetaZi Takes a Well-by-Well Look at Basins Across the U.S.

BetaZi Basin Studies offer “one million petroleum engineers forecasting on each and every well” Last week, BetaZi announced that it will be offering studies on individual oil and gas basins in the U.S.. For every well in the covered basins, BetaZi includes the company’s oil and gas production forecasts, associated type curves, pScores, first-pass economics and Tobin well data. BetaZi generates oil and gas production forecasts using proprietary physics-based predictive analytics, which the company claims are the most accurate and reliable available. BetaZi’s software seeks to overcome the complicated workflows caused by the ad hoc math required to forecast production from existing wells and build and test type curves. Hang ups in this process include noisy data, multiple stages and flow regimes and cumbersome adjustments. The software package uses physics-based prediction methods to automatically build probabilistic forecasts for individual well production, eliminating the complicated and error-prone nature of such work.[Read More…]

Capital Favors the Permian: Baird 3Q Energy Strategy Survey

Permian, SCOOP/STACK in favor Baird’s energy research team presented the results of the firm’s 3Q16 Energy Strategy Survey in a conference call today that was hosted by Denver-based senior analyst Ethan Bellamy and New York-based senior analyst Dan Katzenberg. This was the firm’s 14th energy survey since June of 2013. The Q3 survey set a participation record with 182 respondents, including 87 energy industry executives, 91 buyside investors and 4 others. Bellamy discussed responses to the question, “What could be the single biggest impediment to a recovery in crude oil prices?” The analyst said demand issues, not supply, dominated respondents’ fears about a potential oil price recovery—trumping supply, inventories, currency and the upcoming U.S. presidential election. Bellamy said respondents are still bullish on oil plays—the Permian and Oklahoma’s SCOOP/STACK plays in particular. He said the buyside is more constructive on U.S. supply rolling over in 2016, with median expectations from all[Read More…]
