| Bob Moriarty of 321 Gold does the math for an energy company drilling in the Permian Basin and finds it pretty impressive.
Amazing Energy Oil & Gas Co. (AMAZ:OTCQX) drilled an oil well they named WWJD #23 in Pecos County in the Permian Basin to a depth of 1,997 feet and encountered 44 feet of pay in the targeted Queen A formation. They own about 70% of the well and their cost was $300,000.

| The Smallest Company in the Lowest Cost Oil Play in the US |
| Keith Schaefer of Oil and Gas Investments Bulletin profiles a micro-cap oil company with land in a prime area.
Small oil producers have been shunned by the market, making them extremely cheap now—giving the whole sector lots of leverage for investors.
The one I'm focused on this year is Jericho Oil Corp. (JCO:TSX.V; JROOF:OTC). It's the smallest company I can find in the best play—which right now looks like the STACK play in Oklahoma.

Party On, Dudes  |
| As of this week, the shale oil miracle launched US oil production above the 1970 previous-all-time record at just over ten million barrels a day. Techno-rapturists are celebrating what seems to be a blindingly bright new golden age of energy greatness. Independent oil analyst Art Berman, who made the podcast rounds the last two weeks, put it in more reality-accessible terms: “Shale is a retirement party for the oil industry.”

| While U.S. oil production reached a new peak of 10.25 million barrels per day, the higher it goes, the more breathtaking will be the inevitable collapse. Thus, as the mainstream media touts the glorious new record in U.S. production that has both surpassed its previous peak in 1970 and Saudi Arabia’s current oil production, it’s a bittersweet victory.Why? There are two critical reasons the current record level of U.S. oil production won’t last and is also, a house of cards. First of all, oilThursday, February 8, 2018 |

| Crude oil prices dropped from $110 a barrel in the summer of 2014 to about $30 in January 2016. The effect on oil producers and oil-producing countries was dramatic. The Russian ruble plunged, and the Canadian dollar slipped to below 70 cents US for the first time since 2003, kicking the country into recession and snuffing out the oil boom in Alberta. Many foreign companies operating in the high-cost Canadian oil sands pulled up stakes.

| While the gold mining industry reports energy as only 15-20% of its total production costs, the total amount consumed by the industry is much higher. The market underestimates the amount of energy consumed by the gold mining industry because of the way it is listed in their financial statements. Thus, it takes a great deal more energy to produce gold than the market realizes.Due to the complex supply chain system that we depend upon, most of the energy that is consumed in the production of gooThursday, January 25, 2018 |
