At the beginning of 2021, BRINK spoke to Trisha Curtis, the CEO of Petronerds, about what she thought the year would bring with a new U.S. administration for the oil and gas sector.

One year later, the sector is under continued pressure to cut carbon emissions, and yet the price of oil is still high, at around $70 a barrel.

Quoted in the article: “It’s really a unique recovery,” said Trisha Curtis, co-founder of PetroNerds said. “It says a lot about the unique trends in the U.S. with folks driving more with flexible work schedules, going back to work, and many still not yet working.”

Quoted in the article: “Demand is bucking with the price spikes and summer driving, but with high gas prices and inflation, the picture in September may look different,” said Trisha Curtis, co-founder of PetroNerds.

Quoted in the article: “Refiners may have gotten ahead of themselves, given that these demand figures and draws are likely to continue to be lumpy, week over week, as the whole U.S. opens up,” said Trisha Curtis, co-founder of PetroNerds LLC in Denver

Quote in this article,  “Hedging made sense given the uncertain market last year, said Trisha Curtis, chief executive of PetroNerds, an oil and gas consulting firm that tracks hedging and derivatives.

Hedging in the $40s per barrel range probably felt necessary, while hedging in the $50s made sense, said Curtis with the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) last year signaling it may relax production curbs that have boosted prices, she said.”

Quote in this article,  “the Iraq war may or may not have happened in 2003 if the U.S. oil industry was booming and production was at the levels we see today…”
