In this podcast David Ledesma talks to Trisha Curtis, CEO of PetroNerds, about US gas and oil production, transportation and markets. US gas production has performed well since COVID and additional supply growth is clearly possible, but investment in infrastructure will require consistent regulatory and political support. Technology is also key, with production rigs having longer lateral lengths to increase and maximise gas production. The podcast further discusses oil and gas production trajectory and how environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) is imposing pressure on public oil and gas companies. Concluding the podcast, Trisha gives a view on what is required for LNG exports to Europe to rise (in Europe and North America) and how LNG exports can fit into Europe’s Energy Transition ambitions?

“Oct 21 (Reuters) – U.S. shale oil executive Matt Gallagher this week took a poll on Twitter to gauge sentiment toward President Joe Biden’s offer to stock the U.S. emergency oil reserve at prices around $72 a barrel, to give producers an incentive to drill more.
The result: nearly 80% of respondents said they did not expect oil futures next year will fall to a level that would trigger any U.S. purchases – negating any boost from what analysts called the “U.S. put,” or using proposed Strategic Petroleum Reserve buys to set a minimum price for new oil production.”

“Trisha Curtis, president and CEO of PetroNerds, a Denver-based strategic advisory firm, told me, “The Biden administration’s response to OPEC’s decision to cut two million barrels a day is a sign of true desperation.
The SPR is already at levels not seen since 1984, putting the U.S. and the world on a path to higher oil prices in the future. The Administration has been unable to achieve a relief in sanctions on Iran and is now looking at Venezuela, again—even though Venezuelan production is heavily connected to both Russia and China.”
Ms. Curtis, a national expert in oil production, explained that the United States could begin producing another 2 million barrels per day by immediately re-approving expiring Federal permits. Reapprovals have virtually stopped under the Biden administration.
Additionally, the Administration could immediately accelerate lease sales and permit approvals on federal lands and end the moratorium on federal and offshore lease sales. Approving Keystone XL and accelerating the final development of the nearly finished pipeline would bring as much as 1 million barrels a day of Canadian crude to the Gulf Coast.”
