On the Move: Dynasty scoops sixth adviser team


LVW Advisors, which has about $4.9 billion in assets under management, has become the latest independent firm to join Dynasty’s adviser network.Dynasty President and Chief Executive Shirl Penney told Reuters that the firm plans to have $10 billion in assets within the network and 10 adviser teams on board by year-end.”I can say confidently that we’re on pace for both,” he said. “Looking at the pipeline, we’re going to have a series of large advisers join.”Dynasty currently has three adviser groups with more than $1 billion in assets. Most of the company’s adviser teams are headed by veteran advisers who spent years at the brokerage arms of large banks. Dynasty is backed by a number of former wirehouse executives, including the founders who were former Citigroup executives.Rochester, New York-based LVW was started last week by 25-year industry veteran Lori Van Dusen, who spent the bulk of her career working at Citi. Van Dusen had worked with Penney at Citi Smith Barney.

Whiting Petroleum awaits N Dakota ok for pipeline


By Janet McGurtyOct 13, (Reuters) - Independent oil producer Whiting Petroleum Corp is awaiting state permission for construction of crude pipeline to replace trucks as a means of access to major crude markets for the growing amount of shale oil from its North Dakota Bakken fields, a state regulator said on Thursday.An administrative law judge will likely make his recommendations about the permit to the North Dakota Public Service commission by the end of the week, the regulator said.Construction of a more cost-effective seven-mile pipeline to connect field gathering systems would speed delivery to the pumping station the company is building in Belfield, North Dakota.Whiting Petroleum, based in Denver, Colorado, said in a presentation on its website it had proved reserves 37.2 million barrels per day of oil equivalent in the Rocky Mountain region in 2010.In late September, Whiting completed 11 wells in North Dakota which tested at an average flow rate of 2.3 million barrels of oil equivalent, the website said.The U.S. government estimates the Bakken Shale fields could hould as much as 3.65 million barrels of oil equivalent and could vault North Dakota alongside Texas as a top oil-producting state.The pipeline would allow greater access for growing production to three major crude markets for Bakken: Guernsey, Wyoming, Clearbrook, Minnesota and Tesoro’s High Plains Pipeline Company.The next scheduled meeting for the North Dakota Public Service Commission is Oct. 26 but the commission may convene earlier.”Whiting has said they want to start right away,” said the regulator who asked not to be named.The project has not met with any public protest, and there were no comments against against the project at Monday’s meeting.A spokesman for Whiting was not immediately available for comment.
