The Crude Life’s Post

Warren Martin, executive director, Kansas Strong: The KS Oil & Gas Resources Fund, reacts to the latest election results in regards to the energy industry. “I think the election will have major ramifications, maybe not on any other industry more than the oil and gas industry, because the oil and gas industry is the economic driver that drives inflation up or drives inflation down,” Martin said. “If you have access to cheap, reliable energy, inflation goes down. If you don't, inflation goes up. If you want to go back and look at how we got into this inflation mess in the beginning, go back and just look at the headlines of the stories that were leading up to where we are today.” Martin explains how Kansas is primarily an independent small operator oil and gas industry, and is concerned about the new methane regulations that would require and add heavy monitoring, regulation and tracking costs to their day to day. “Every single transmission line, every single tank battery everywhere,” Martin said. “There's a connection where oil or natural gas are connected from one place to another, there would have to be monitoring equipment that would be engaged in that proximity to be able to identify how much methane is being emitted from those sites we have study after study, showing that marginal wells have nominal to no methane emissions.” https://lnkd.in/graKGecM

Curious about what the outcome of next week’s elections might mean for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and its policies? While none of us has a crystal ball 🔮 Former FERC Chairmen Rich Glick and Neil Chatterjee, former FERC General Counsel William Scherman, energy expert Timothy Fox and I spoke with Ethan Howland at Utility Dive about what may be on the horizon for our nation’s federal energy regulator. Check out the article below! TLDR; FERC’s bipartisan nature and the way that the commission is set up provides for some continuity and limits the opportunity for politically motivated drastic changes immediately following an election; however, critical issues like transmission planning, gas policy and how our nation will navigate the energy transition remain hot topics at FERC and within the courts. #FERC #electric #energy #markets #regulatory #policy #transmission #renewables #oil #gas #reliability #resilience #affordability #EnvironmentalJustice #EnergyTransition #BlackWomenInEnergy #BlackBigLawPartners #ThoughtLeaders

"We could see a lot more volatility in oil prices after the election, similar to what the stock market is bracing for. Karr Ingham, president of the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers, says it's anyone's guess what will happen in the markets after Tuesday, but the industry will be watching closely: 'There are a lot of nuances to the way this could go. But ultimately, the fundamentals of supply and demand will win out.'" https://lnkd.in/gVg5ZH4j via @ktrhnews @karringham #Election2024 #OilPrices #Oil #oilandgas #natgas #energy #txenergy #economy #petroleum #oilindustry #LNG

Here's an op-ed I wrote that was published in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette today. With the presidential election looming, it's worth taking a lesson from history. Support for a presidential candidate based on his or her embrace or rejection of the oil and gas industry is a poor voting strategy. The President doesn’t matter much to the health of the companies and careers of the people in the oil and gas business. In fact, we tend to do better under Democrats. #oilindustry #petroleumhistory #presidentsandpetroleum #crudeawakening
