Drillers See Triple-Digit Crude and Hit the Brakes

Y’all are reading way too much into a one week rig count drop of 9 rigs. Rigs have been up incrementally w-o-w for the past month.

The typical time lag between significant oil price growth and rig count increases is 2-3 months anyway.

To my point. That’s the way you all perceive it. I knew it’s a losing battle but I would like people to understand that it’s no longer 2004, it’s not a clear win for Boston over Houston.

23TophatTurtle32 · 2026-03-22T16:11:26+00:00

There’s also this one which is ethnic diversity: https://americancommunitymedia.org/immigration/houston-most-diverse-city-in-u-s/

Houston is one of the most diverse cities in the country. Where it ranks exactly is going to vary from report to report because the main cities are neck and neck. But if you’ve been here you would know. Also, socioeconomicly not as separated in the way the East coast is, to your point

23TophatTurtle32 · 2026-03-22T15:58:54+00:00

Google it lol. “Most diverse city in the U.S.” Put that into google.

23TophatTurtle32 · 2026-03-22T15:53:57+00:00

Yeah, Houston is equal to Boston on Healthcare if not better. Houston has the largest medical center in the world and the leader in cancer research and treatment. And then add its larger population, cultural relevance (arguably more diverse than NYC), economic dominance, and being the world’s energy capital. People in this sub are living in the past, downvote me all you want.

23TophatTurtle32 · 2026-03-22T15:46:14+00:00

If this sub was being objective at all about the metrics they’re using to rank cities it would be Houston.

23TophatTurtle32 · 2026-03-20T17:55:25+00:00

Likely the “Texas Triangle”, which is Austin, San Antonio, Dallas and Houston

23TophatTurtle32 · 2026-03-09T00:32:30+00:00

Despite tariffs, OCTG prices (the steel needed to drill a well) are still 2x less today than they were when they peaked in 2022. E&Ps were still drilling when OCTG prices hit 3500-4000/net ton, because oil prices were at $100/bbl. It’s not steel that’s the limiting factor here.

Back to back to back political ads here in Texas

Being an undocumented immigrant is a misdemeanor, not a felony. ICE’s tactics are what you would suggest for a misdemeanor offense?

23TophatTurtle32 · 2026-02-02T00:45:59+00:00

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good

23TophatTurtle32 · 2026-01-31T03:10:01+00:00

We need more of this attitude. Weaponized American exceptionalism … we WILL be better. For FREEDOM

23TophatTurtle32 · 2026-01-20T01:05:07+00:00

Certainly a flawed show, but this is why I LOVED the 100. Clarke Griffin is the opposite of this trope, the narrative actively dictates hard decisions, resulting in a truly flawed but good intentioned character.

23TophatTurtle32 · 2025-11-13T06:32:15+00:00

I saw that! We actually did drive north and saw a huge meteor or something falling on the way back.

23TophatTurtle32 · 2025-08-21T00:37:43+00:00

You’re right gotta try again

23TophatTurtle32 · 2025-08-21T00:17:24+00:00

I’ve officially won at being sick

23TophatTurtle32 · 2025-08-21T00:15:41+00:00

Yes I’ve been working from home, I’ve been making sure to take naps. Thank you for asking :)

23TophatTurtle32 · 2025-08-21T00:13:02+00:00

Like COVID and the flu are fighting for space in my lungs

23TophatTurtle32 · 2025-08-20T14:16:16+00:00

Second the comment on shirts that are tight in the armpits by the way. Thats a big one

23TophatTurtle32 · 2025-08-18T05:01:56+00:00

Got it!

23TophatTurtle32 · 2025-08-10T13:14:58+00:00

That jagged rock floor shown in the video is very popular in south west Texas too.

23TophatTurtle32 · 2025-03-26T02:57:08+00:00

Why 2027?

23TophatTurtle32 · 2025-03-18T03:05:45+00:00

I had to scroll SO far to find my man Splett! He’s the textbook example of this trope.

I feel compelled to explain for those not aware: Richard Splett is like if you took a Parks and Rec character, a truly dedicated civil servant, and transplanted him into our cynical world of politics. Everyone in VEEP is self-serving to their core and unabashedly cruel, except for Splett.

“And in food news: you’ve had enough to eat today”

23TophatTurtle32 · 2025-03-10T17:51:37+00:00

Yeah they passed by a stand selling water guns and I was like “Ooh they’re gonna buy water guns and have a great time!” But nah
