OPEC Plus, US Oil, and Chinese Solar in Xinjiang

In episode 21 of the PetroNerds podcast, Trisha Curtis and Ethan Bellamy get into the weeds on the Saudi and UAE production volumes and disputes in the latest OPEC Plus meeting or non meeting debacle.  They talk about oil prices and the risks to the upside and downside as well as activity in the US and what is happening with US oil demand.  They conclude with an impressive analytical link between Chinese human right abuses and forced labor issues in the province of Xinjiang, Chinese solar panels, and well known names from the Exxon and Engine No. 1 ordeal, Vanguard, State Street, and Blackrock.  (Correction: Trisha said “Stay Street” in the podcast and meant “State Street”) This is a must listen to episode folks!

Trisha will be speaking at DUG on Tuesday, July 13th, check out the agenda here.
