Oil set to ‘crater’ Monday. Trump's imagined meeting delayed.

[Hard On The Wind 388]

Oil pricing had a massive rally on Thursday after Trump spoke of his OPEC meeting hallucination at the daily pandemic briefing/campaign rally. 
 

Quote

 

The virtual meeting between OPEC and its allies scheduled for Monday has been postponed, sources familiar with the matter told CNBC, amid mounting tensions between Saudi Arabia and Russia. The meeting will now “likely” be held on Thursday, sources said.

The Monday meeting was set after President Donald Trump said to CNBC on Thursday that he expected Russian President Vladimir Putin and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to announce a deal to cut production by up to 15 million barrels, and that he had spoken to both countries’ leaders.

and the link between death rates/cities/smog

basically if you live in a city and you get coronovirus then you are more likely to die

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-52351290

still a few could in here but...

High levels of air pollution could raise the risk of dying from Covid-19, two studies suggest.

Dr Maria Neira, of the World Health Organization (WHO), told BBC News countries with high pollution levels, many in Latin America, Africa and Asia, should ramp up their preparations.

Those with underlying pollution-related conditions have developed severe Covid-19 in countries with high levels.

But medical professionals say it is too early to prove a direct relationship.

"We will be doing a map of most polluted cities based on our database to support national authorities in these regions so that they can prepare their epidemic response plan accordingly," Dr Neira said.

  Image copyright Eduardo Munoz Alvarez Image caption The Harvard study suggests lower pollution levels in the years before the pandemic could have resulted in a significant decrease in Covid-19 death rates

A US study suggests Covid-19 death rates rise by about 15% in areas with even a small increase in fine-particle pollution levels in the years before the pandemic.

"Patterns in Covid-19 death rates generally mimic patterns in both high population density and high [particulate matter] PM2.5 exposure areas," the Harvard University report says.

These particles, one-30th the diameter of a human hair, have previously been linked to health issues including respiratory infections and lung cancer.

The Harvard study has not yet been peer reviewed but Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich chair of epidemiology Air pollution linked to raised Covid-19 death riskProf Annette Peters told BBC News its findings "are in line with earlier reports on hospitalisation and mortality due to pneumonia".

"It is one of the first studies substantiating our suspicion and the hypothesis that severity of the Covid-19 infection may be augmented by particulate matter air pollution," she said.

Report author Prof Francesca Dominici said: "We hope it will help stop the air quality from getting worse, particularly when we are hearing about authorities trying to relax pollution rules amid this pandemic."

 

Another study, at the University of Siena, in Italy, and Arhus University, in Denmark, suggests a possible link between high levels of air pollution and Covid-19 deaths in northern Italy.

The Lombardy and Emilia Romagna regions had death rates of about 12%, compared with 4.5% in the rest of Italy.

The study, published in Science Direct, says: "The high level of pollution in northern Italy should be considered an additional co-factor of the high level of lethality recorded in that area."

Population, age, differing health systems, and a variation in prevention policies across regions should also be taken into account.

Meanwhile, in the Philippines, Cesar Bugaoisan, of the Association for Respiratory Care Practitioners, said: "In our preliminary data, almost all of the dead individuals in the country due to coronavirus had pre-existing conditions, most of them linked to air pollution."

Air pollution already kills about seven million people every year, the WHO says.

And more than 90% of the world's population live in places where air pollution exceeds its guideline limits, mostly in poor countries.

Many of the affected countries are in South Asia, the Middle East, sub-Saharan and North Africa, according to a World Bank report last year.

Cities in Chile, Brazil, Mexico and Peru also have dangerous levels of air pollution, according to several WHO and United Nations reports.

 

But the World Air Quality Report 2019 suggests India has the most cities with high air pollution levels.

India has recorded 521 Covid-19 deaths so far.

Dr S K Chhabra, pulmonary department head at Primus Super Speciality Hospital, in Delhi, said: "If we see a significant rise in the spread of the virus, people with underlying conditions because of air pollution will definitely be the worst affected."

And Public Health Foundation India president Prof Srinath Reddy said: "If air pollution has already damaged the airways and lung tissue, there is reduced reserve to cope with the onslaught of coronavirus."

But Dr Rajni Kant Srivastava, of the Indian Council for Medical Research, said: "There is not enough evidence and we have also not carried out any such study."

The 2002 severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars) outbreak, caused by a different strain of coronavirus, infected more than 8,000 people, in 26 countries, and killed almost 800.

And a 2003 University of California, Los Angeles study suggested people from areas of high air pollution were more than twice as likely to die from the disease.

I think it's a common mindset - Northern Mn is my origination - the mines peaked in '79. Yet they folks there, almost every coffee chat with the old men in the cafe (what cafe's are still there) are talking about the possible investment of this company, or that company. example: for 20 years they talked about this iron mine near that small town. The state finally ponied up $1B for joint investment in a combo mine/rolled steel plant. They clear cut 160 acres, build power lines into the site, built some of the massive buildings. Then, when the money ran out, the company went bankrupt and walked away (a subsidiary of Acelor Mittal)

Trans Mountain isn't dead, yet.  The business case is looking worse by the day though.  The port it connects to can only handle Aframax tankers, meanwhile many of the VLCC's in the world are currently sitting at anchor full of stored crude from other countries waiting for a market.   Even if they (now we, the Canadian taxpayer) build it, it will be a long time before it pays for itself, let alone turns a profit.

The World Is Running Out of Places to Store Its Oil

A chaotic mismatch between the supply and demand for oil is saturating the world’s ability to store it all.

Excerpt -

“For the first time in history we are seeing the likelihood that the market will test storage capacity limits within the near future,” said Antoine Halff, a founding partner of Kayrros, a market research firm. As storage space becomes harder to find, the prices, which have already fallen more than half this year, could drop even further. And companies could be forced to shut off their wells.

This chaotic mismatch in supply and demand has benefited consumers, who have watched gasoline prices slide lower.

The reason I brought this up is that it is an issue. The tankers usually hide in Norwegian Fjords where they cant get hurt.  East coast of the US.  Nice and flat.  Can't hide.  There are not more than a handful of suitable tankers under US flag.  Remember I said suitable.  Big storm comes up and they have to move.  The big refueling buoys out in the Gulf are outside of Jones act areas for a reason. The way the act reads is that once a non-US flagged ship hits the dock on a commercial voyage, leaves the 3 mile limit, it cannot directly return to a US port. El Orango would have to set up an executive order to over-ride.

they need to push it through. 

15 gallons at the station

means 15 gallons free at the refinery

means 20 gallons (i forget the exact ratio) of space for crude.
