$APC Anadarko to shut in production at four Gulf of Mexico platforms
Anadarko Petroleum (APC) is the latest oil and gas producer to announce it is removing all non-essential personnel from its eastern U.S. Gulf of Mexico oil and gas platforms as a tropical storm approaches.
APC says it is evacuating all workers and shutting in production at the Constitution, Heidelberg, Holstein and Marco Polo platforms.
Chevron, Royal Dutch Shell, BP and BHP said earlier that they were removing staff from a combined 15 GoM energy platforms.
The National Hurricane Center expects a tropical depression to form in the northern Gulf late today or early tomorrow, with the potential to produce a storm surge from Louisiana to the upper Texas coast.

$COP $APC $RRMS $SEMG $BBG $NBL U.S. shale producers ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP), Anadarko Petroleum (NYSE:APC) unit Kerr McGee Oil & Gas Onshore, Noble Energy (NYSE:NBL) and Bill Barrett (NYSE:BBG) ask U.S. regulators to reject White Cliffs pipelineโs application to charge market-based rates for shipments from Platteville, Colo., to the storage hub at Cushing, Okla.
The companies say White Cliffsโ application to the FERC is based on an โoverly broadโ classification of the market and that if allowed to charge market-based rates, it would leaved shippers โbasically powerless to resist.โ
Kerr McGee and NBL are shippers of crude oil on the White Cliffs system, BBG supplies crude oil produced in the DJ Basin to shippers on the White Cliffs system and is a potential shipper, and COP is a DJ producer and positioned to use the White Cliffs system either as a shipper or a supplier to shippers.
White Cliffs is a joint venture that is majority-owned and operated by Rose Rock Midstream (NYSE:RRMS), a unit of SemGroup (NYSE:SEMG); the system is undergoing an expansion that will increase the capacity from 185K bbl/day to 215K bbl/day by mid-2018.

Anadarko CEO share buy should spark some confidence, analyst says
Big stock purchases by Anadarko Petroleum (APC +0.6%) CEO Al Walker and board director Peter Fluor (I, II) should instill some confidence in the market, as APC shares have plunged 14% since April 26 following the Colorado home explosion incident near one of its old wells, Wells Fargo analyst David Tameron writes.
Walker and Fluor each bought ~$1M worth of stock, which sends a signal to investors "looking for a floor or perhaps looking to step in after the selloff," Tameron writes.
APC yesterday said it would permanently disconnect all underground gas lines for the 3K-plus vertical wells it owns and operates in northeastern Colorado's DJ Basin, in response to the fatal home blast.

Charts are useful to me and that is my main concern.
APC appears to be in an uptrend since mid January after having taken a huge dive. And, it took another dive with dividend news, but, is moving upward again. In looking at todays move, the market must like the adjustments to the workforce that came out in todays 8-k filing.

Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On March 10, 2016, Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (the โCompanyโ) notified employees of a workforce reduction program to align the size and composition of the Companyโs workforce with its expected future operating and capital plans.
In connection with this workforce reduction program, the Company estimates that during 2016 it will record a total of approximately $380 million in pre-tax expenses related to employee-termination benefits, including expenses for cash severance costs, and expenses for acceleration of stock-based compensation and retirement benefit expenses. The expected 2016 expenses include approximately $260 million of cash expenditures related primarily to one-time severance costs and lump-sum retirement benefit payments related to non-qualified plans. The Company expects this program to be substantially implemented by March 31, 2016. These amounts are estimates, and the actual amounts may vary based on a number of factors, including timing and valuation of certain benefit-related payments. The Company anticipates providing additional information about its expected annual savings associated with these actions concurrent with the release of its first-quarter results in early May 2016.
