May 14, 2017/0 Comments/in Midstream Energy Infrastructure/by Simon Lack

We thought it would be interesting to expand a little more on the notion that crude oil prices reflect the market’s confidence that oil in the future will be available on approximately the same terms as today (see Oil Futures Say Shale’s Here to Stay).

Volumes and pricing were both up 15% quarter-on-quarter, with sand volumes in their Oil and […]

We’ve had a number of questions over the past 24 hours about the impact of the White House tax proposal on Master Limited Partnerships. Therefore, we’re posting our thoughts now rather than in our normal Sunday morning missive. There’s not a great deal of specifics so far, but we’ve put together a table illustrating how […]
