Spatial crude oil production divergence and crude oil price behaviour in the United States

Abstract

This paper deals with the analysis of (spatial) crude oil production divergence in the United States, paying particular attention to the domestic crude oil production between PADD 2 and PADD 3, which are the areas in which the bottleneck occurs and has a direct implication on the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI). To this purpose, we use techniques based on fractional integration, fractional cointegration VAR (FCVAR) and wavelet analysis. Monthly data related to the oil production in the U.S. by regions (Anadarko, Appalachia, Bakken, Eagle Ford, Haynesville, Niobrara and Permian) from January 2007 to June 2020 are used. The results, using fractional integration and cointegration techniques, indicate that the time series analyzed are highly persistent and there is evidence of long run equilibrium relationships in some of the series. Finally, using wavelet analysis, we conclude that the most affected areas are Anadarko, Appalachia, Haynesville and Niobrara where an increase in the shale oil production is followed a decrease in WTI crude oil prices.

“…Finally, the research carried out by [56][57][58][59] suggests that misleading results will be found if we apply a typical cross-correlation to study statistical relationships between two multifractal time series.…”

Was the European oil industry prepared for the current global crisis?

“…A broad analysis of the evolution of crude oil supply and demand in the USA by Monge and Gil-Alana ( 2021 ) covers the period 2007–2020, when the oil market covers 8% of GDP. The authors develop a model based on fractional integration, fractional cointegration VAR and wavelet analysis.…”

Oil extraction and crude oil price behavior in the United States: a fractional integration and cointegration analysis

“…For all these reasons, companies dedicated to the extraction of crude pre-oil have been re-evaluating their extraction strategies in terms of the technologies used, since these can be a determining factor when positioning themselves in an increasingly competitive energy market. and Gil-Alana, (2020). Following the investigation of Nielsen (2010, 2012) based on the Fractional Cointegration VAR (FCVAR) approach, the study of the long-term relationships of these variables is carried out.…”

“…developed a model that allowed them to state that the volume of crude oil reserves is inelastic with respect to the price of oil. More specifically, they stated that the vast majority of extraction wells have fairly low productivity and represent a relatively small percentage of total reserves, which is why a drop in prices that leads to the elimination of some of these production points has no particular impact on the remaining volume of reserves.Ewin and Malik (2017) showed the effect of the news, both positive and negative, on the volatility of oil prices through the implementation of an asymmetric GARCH model Monge et al (2020). analyzed the (spatial) divergence of crude oil production in the United States, focusing especially on crude oil production between PADD 2 and PADD 3 zones, which are those in which a distribution bottleneck occurs, which directly affects the price of crude oil.…”
