• Laredo’s Early Leech Well Results A Drain on Permian Production

  Permian Basin pure-play Laredo Petroleum Inc. reported disappointing initial results for a package of wells that went online late in the second quarter, but management expressed a more encouraging outlook for nearby wells.
  
  “In the second quarter, we completed 11 wells and drilled seven wells,” COO Karen Chandler told analysts during the recent earnings call.
  
  Among those wells, Laredo turned into line some Leech wells in the West Texas Spraberry and Wolfcamp formations. The Leech wells comprise “six 15,000-foot wells in our most southeastern unit in Howard County,” said CEO Jason Pigott.
  
  Pigott said the six-well package in the drilling spacing unit (DSU), a departure from the traditional practice of 12 wells/DSU, remained “in the flow-like stage” with the oil production ramp-up taking “much longer than the offset wells” and underperforming the company’s prior forecast.

• Oil, gas leasing pause blocked again
  Judge Terry Doughty of the US District Court for the Western District of Louisiana ruled Thursday that...
  Judge Terry Doughty of the US District Court for the Western District of Louisiana ruled Thursday that the Biden administration's pause on oil and natural gas leasing on federal lands in 13 states violates the Mineral Leasing Act and Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act and issued a permanent injunction, just one day after an appeals court lifted a preliminary nationwide injunction Doughty granted in 2021. "This decision is a significant step toward ending the ongoing uncertainty over the future of energy development on federal lands and waters, and we urge the Biden administration to take immediate action to hold onshore lease sales and issue a final five-year program for federal offshore leasing that includes all of the proposed lease sales," said American Petroleum Institute Senior Vice President of Policy, Economics and Regulatory Affairs Frank Macchiarola.

  Ahead of November 8, investors should reduce risk since equities historically underperform going into midterms, according to Barclays.
  
  Even as decades-high inflation and hefty rate hikes stay top of mind among investors, it isn't too early to start paring down riskier positions, the bank's analysts wrote in a Friday note.
  
  In any case, market analyses from the last 100 years reveal stocks underperform leading up to a November vote.  But then, regardless of the election outcome, risks rapidly diminish and the market rebounds.
