You want to see how perverse OFS can be in one chart?
NOV’s financial performance is up YoY. Its stock price is way down.
Managing your business is only half of the oilfield service (OFS) game.
The other half?
Navigating turbulent global market waters.
Best of luck out there.

Global oil demand growth has slowed dramatically in 2024.
Each quarter, demand growth has been less than half 2023 levels.
It's a big reason oil prices are near 2024 lows, and also why "drill, baby, drill" may have nearly no impact on actual US production levels.

In 2023, we got more generation from all energy sources than we did in 1800, 1900, and 2000...except for traditional biomass.
And even biomass is only 10% off its peak.
The world has an insatiable demand for energy. It's going to be tough to pivot away from any single source.

Major oil & gas companies continue to take a scalpel to their hydrocarbon investments.
They’re trying to find ways to concentrate on high leverage, long life, low emission assets.
A delicate dance indeed.

US construction spend in manufacturing is booming.
Just truly a remarkable inflection for the world's largest economy.
Spend is up 19% YoY, with real GDP up 3%.
Federal support has been an important catalyst. So have lessons learned from the pandemic.

US natural gas prices have been trading over $3 for two weeks.
It’s a far cry from where we were the first half of this year.

$OKLO is a nuclear power company whose stock is booming.
It's backed by Sam Altman and Chris Wright - high-profile folks.
I wrote 3,100 words about Oklo and the broader US nuclear power sector.
I also review Kerrisdale's recent short report.

A quick hit comparison of per barrel spend for two huge US independent E&Ps: ConocoPhillips versus EOG.
It turns out $EOG spent over $2 less per barrel than $COP on well construction.
Lots of apples to oranges effects going on here, but still very important to note when we compare E&Ps.
