🌐🛢️Oil Headed for $150 Without US Support for More Drilling, Shale CEO Says

Oil is headed as high as $150 a barrel unless the US government does more to encourage exploration, according to Continental Resources, the shale driller controlled by billionaire Harold Hamm.

Crude output in the Permian Basin will one day peak as it already has in rival shale regions such as the Bakken region of North Dakota and the Eagle Ford in Texas, Continental Chief Executive Officer Doug Lawler said during an interview with Bloomberg TV. Without new production, “you’re going to see $120 to $150” oil, he said.

“That’s going to send a shock through the system,” he said. Without policies encouraging new drilling, “you’re going to see more pressure on price.”

🇷🇸👶 Serbian births for the first eight months of 2023 have increased 0.33% year on year. Considering the annual decline in the female fertile population this is a very decent result. TFR will likely be ~1.7 this year. Much higher than Croatia, Albania, or Bosnia.

🇷🇸👶 The fertile population in Serbia will decrease by over 160k in the next 10 years, possible even to 200k with emigration. If Serbia can hold their births at their 2022 level (62,7k) by 2032 they should have a TFR of 1.8-1.85

🪖🇺🇦 Ukraine has the worst demographics in the world.

If there are reports of manpower shortages already and daily videos of men being snatched off the streets, then how do they plan on fighting this war for years?

🪖🇷🇺🇺🇦 Either Russia has massively ramped up glide bomb production, or Ukrainian air defenses have degraded to the point that KABs can now reach the frontline.

840 FAB-500s per month delivers as much explosives as 1,200 152mm shells per day, without even taking into account the effects of precision.
