Donald Trump anunció el viernes el que, según él, es el mayor acuerdo petrolero de la historia. Con este acuerdo Estados Unidos se asegurará el control mayoritario de más de 65.000 millones de barriles de reservas probadas venezolanas sin coste para el contribuyente. Parece algo irresistible, pero la contabilidad falla desde el primer vistazo. EEUU no será propietario de esos barriles, sino accionista de una sociedad con derecho a desarrollar 17 campos repartidos entre la Faja del Orinoco y el lago de Maracaibo. Además, entre un barril bajo tierra y otro listo para embarcar median años de inversión, tecnología y seguridad jurídica, algo que no abunda en Venezuela. El socio elegido es North American Blue Energy Partners, una empresa registrada en Barbados y controlada por Alejandro Betancourt, un empresario enriquecido al calor de los contratos del chavismo e investigado por presunto blanqueo en España y en Suiza. La operación la remató la Oficina de Capital Estratégico del Pentágono mediante unos warrants que dan al departamento de Defensa derechos sobre la producción futura por una prima simbólica. De los porcentajes de producción que irán a EEUU circulan varias versiones lo que significa que los detalles del acuerdo aún se encuentran lejos de estar cerrados. El calendario explica las prisas. La guerra de Irán mantiene cerrado el estrecho de Ormuz y las elecciones de medio mandato son en un par de meses. El problema es que la realidad sobre el terreno en Venezuela es muy distinta. Desde la caída de Maduro en enero, ninguna gran petrolera estadounidense se ha metido en aquel país por los riesgos que entraña y porque hay que gastar demasiado dinero para revivir la infraestructura. El país tiene hoy sólo dos taladros de perforación activos frente a los 120 que había en 1998, y produce en torno a un millón de barriles diarios, un tercio de lo de entonces, más o menos lo que extrae Dakota del Norte. Custodia, eso sí, el 17% de las reservas mundiales pero solo aporta el 1% de la producción mundial. Las petroleras son reacias a invertir allí porque las expropiaciones del pasado aún se recuerdan. Todavía hoy ConocoPhillips reclama 12.000 millones de dólares y ExxonMobil otros 1.000. Ante la falta de interés de las grandes petroleras la Casa Blanca está tentando a las más pequeñas dirigidas por gente próxima al presidente, pero incapaces de afrontar los gastos que requerirían desarrollar los proyectos de extracción de crudo pesado en la faja del Orinoco. Hay, además, otro elemento no menor. La Constitución venezolana de 1999 prohíbe de forma explícita transferir unos yacimientos que pertenecen a la República. Delcy Rodríguez es una presidenta ilegítima, gobierna sin haber pasado por las urnas tras heredar el cargo de un presidente hoy preso que robó las elecciones de 2024. En Venezuela todavía quedan unos 380 presos políticos y los principales jerarcas del chavismo como Diosdado Cabello o Vladimir Padrino siguen en el Gobierno. Los negociadores estadounidenses admiten que la estructura societaria privada se eligió para atar a los futuros gobiernos venezolanos, pero eso implica que la democracia no regresará a Venezuela en mucho tiempo, entre otras cosas porque hoy por hoy al Gobierno de Estados Unidos le interesa que se mantenga una dictadura con la que ha terminado asociándose.

Jon Herold and Chris Paul dig deep into the aftermath of Maduro's capture, walking through the Pentagon's newly secured stake in Venezuela's oil riches and how the deal has evolved from a broker relationship into a full investment position. They cover Chevron's long, complicated history operating in Venezuela through the Chavez and Maduro years, and play a clip from a ConocoPhillips executive meeting that lines up suspiciously well with the timeline of events. The conversation broadens into what this could mean for the region's energy future and whether the sovereign alliance framework they've discussed for years fits what's unfolding here. There's also a Tucker Carlson clip worth a listen, plus some banter about AI tools that can now auto clip and post your podcast content for you, which one host finds genuinely useful and the other finds a little unsettling.

A.M. Edition for Aug. 6.

In this episode of the Arete Podcast, Richard Triggs sits down with John Lewis, Co-Founder of Lewis Woolcott and Lware, to explore entrepreneurship, innovation and the changing future of major infrastructure projects. John's career began on construction sites in the UK after he left university early. He later returned to study construction law, moved through senior commercial and project leadership roles with organisations including ConocoPhillips, Origin Energy and GE, and eventually recognised that he was better suited to building businesses than navigating a traditional corporate career. Today, John leads two connected but very different businesses. Lewis Woolcott provides commercial, project controls and dispute advisory services across major construction, infrastructure and mining projects. Lware develops technology designed to give project teams better visibility, stronger analytics and faster insight into cost, delay and performance. Richard and John discuss the realities of growing two businesses, why construction has been slow to adopt new technology, and how combining industry expertise with software can solve problems traditional consulting has struggled with for decades. They also explore the impact of AI on consulting, the tension between billable hours and greater efficiency, and why human judgement will remain essential even as data analysis becomes faster and more sophisticated. This is a conversation about recognising opportunity, challenging accepted ways of working and having the confidence to build something the market has not seen before.

Enerji Günlüğü Haber Bülteni:Türkiye'nin ve Dünyanın Enerji Gündemienerjigunlugu.net

Oil is up, China is buying again, and America's energy future is at a crossroads. In this episode, we tackle eight stories that matter: geopolitical chaos driving Brent above $90, the SPR disaster, Halliburton's shale boom, the AI data center power crisis, and why the Trump administration is reshaping energy policy. This is the energy news you can't afford to miss.1. Oil Market Volatility & Geopolitical TensionsThe podcast opens with oil prices surging above $90/barrel for Brent crude, driven by attacks in Kuwait, tanker incidents in the Strait of Hormuz, and renewed U.S.-Iran tensions. The Houthis are also active in the Red Sea, creating additional supply chain disruptions. Analysts are predicting higher oil prices for longer, with crack spreads at historic highs.2. U.S. Oil & Gas Production StrengthHalliburton reports positive outlook for North American shale activity in 2026. The U.S. has reached a record 13.586 million barrels per day in 2025, with enhanced oil recovery and the Permian Basin continuing to thrive. Natural gas exports and LNG are highlighted as critical economic drivers.3. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) CrisisThe Biden administration's mismanagement of the SPR is heavily criticized—including massive drawdowns without refill (180-300 million barrels), wasted taxpayer dollars on damaged equipment, and aging infrastructure. The GAO warns of "looming operational limitations," and the host emphasizes the need to refill the SPR given current geopolitical risks.4. Data Center & AI Power Demand ExplosionData centers are on track to consume up to 20% of U.S. electricity by 2035 due to AI growth—a 4-5x increase from current levels. However, grid transmission bottlenecks are a major constraint; the U.S. needs 5,000 miles of new high-voltage transmission lines annually but has only added 392 in the last two years.5. UK North Sea Energy PolicyThe incoming UK Prime Minister is signaling support for North Sea oil and gas projects (Jack Draw gas field, Rosbank oil field), though the host expresses skepticism about bureaucratic obstacles. The irony is highlighted: the UK imports Norwegian gas while sitting on untapped North Sea reserves.6. Iraq's Oil Export StrategyIraq is shipping 4 million barrels per day via 1,400 tanker trucks daily—a forced paradigm shift due to geopolitical constraints. Iraqi oil companies are also partnering with Chevron, ExxonMobil, and ConocoPhillips to capture flared gas, reducing Iraq's reliance on imported energy.7. Trump Administration Energy Policy & Climate Research AccountabilityPresident Trump has ordered a suspension and potential debarment of officials tied to fraudulent climate research. The host criticizes the "false climate narrative" and argues for an "all of the above" energy approach (coal, natural gas, nuclear) until technology allows full transition to renewables.8. Federal Energy Subsidies & SpendingIn fiscal year 2025, federal subsidies and tax expenditures totaled $64.1 billion, with renewables, EVs, and efficiency capturing 90% ($57.9-58 billion), while fossil fuels received only $2.6 billion. The host distinguishes between subsidies and tax incentives.1.Brent Tops $90 as Tanker Hit in Strait of Hormuz Amid Escalating US-Iran Tensions — Is “Higher for Longer” Here to Stay?2.Halliburton Sees Improvement in North American Activity in 20263.US Strategic Petroleum Reserve Sites Left Inoperable Under Biden Administration — Trump and Energy Secretary Wright Race to Fix the Damage4.Data Center Growth on Track to Absorb a Fifth of US Power Use by 2035: Nuclear Had Better Be Implemented Before We Get There5.U.S. Needs 5,000 Miles of New High-Voltage Lines Annually — It Only Built 3926.New UK Prime Minister Set to Back North Sea Oil and Gas Projects7.Thousands of Tanker Trucks Haul Iraq's Oil to Secure Revenue: A Forced but Strategic Paradigm Shift8.President Trump Orders a Review of the Green Graft and False Research ProvidedCheck the articles on https://theenergynewsbeat.substack.com/A shout-out to Steve Reese and the Reese Energy Consulting group for sponsoring the Podcast https://reeseenergyconsulting.com/.Data2 if you have any business systems, can you trust A?

Dan Nathan and Guy Adami break down a wild week across markets — memory stocks in freefall, Google's brutal two-day selloff, and why China's AI models are closing the gap without top-tier Nvidia chips. Micron cratered from its all-time high of $1,255 to $800 in a matter of weeks, and the DRAM ETF whipsawed right along with it. Guy and Dan dig into whether this is a routine flush or something bigger. Google sold off 10% after Gemini news broke the hyperscaler rotation narrative, and they debate whether the moat still holds given decelerating margins and ballooning capex. On the China front: DeepSeek raised $7B at a $52B valuation, Alibaba announced $50B in capex, and Moonshot's new model is narrowing the gap with US labs — all without access to Nvidia's most advanced chips. Dan and Guy also revisit the Nvidia-vs-component-suppliers margin debate, unpack Apple's surprising rally into earnings, and call the technical line in the sand on Netflix after its cash flow miss cut the stock in half. Plus: a quick check on crude, refiners hitting new highs, and what's next for energy names like Exxon and ConocoPhillips.

US equity futures are lower, Asian markets are sharply lower while European equities are mostly weaker. Markets remain focused on the ongoing unwind in momentum and semiconductor trades, with profit-taking and concerns around elevated capex continuing to weigh on sentiment. Geopolitical risks remain a secondary overhang, with Middle East tensions and broader policy uncertainty contributing to a cautious tone, while expectations for central bank policy are stabilising as inflation pressures show signs of easing. Attention is now turning to upcoming corporate developments and macro data for further direction on growth and rate expectations.Companies Mentioned: PayPal, BP, ConocoPhillips, Array Technologies

Unilever ziet een van zijn grote aandeelhouders weglopen. Een die al meer dan 15 jaar trouw was aan het bedrijf. Het gaat om fondsbeheerder Terry Smith. Die hard uithaalt naar de directie. Tegen de Financial Times zegt hij misleid te zijn door de directie. Unilever beloofde hem (net na de afsplitsing van de ijstak in 2025) geen grote onderdelen meer te verkopen. Maar ze deden het toch. De voedingstak ging eruit. Volgens Smith neemt niet de directie de grote beslissingen, maar activistische aandeelhouder Nelson Peltz. Hij zou achter de schermen de touwtjes in handen hebben. Deze aflevering kijken we wat dat voor jou als beleggers betekent. Is het nu een voordeel of toch een nadeel? Gaat het ook weer over het bezoek van handelsminister Sjoerd Sjoerdsma aan China.

Introduction California Attorney General Rob Bonta has established himself to be one of California's leading legal advocates for climate accountability. Through lawsuits against big fossil fuel companies, including ExxonMobil, Shell, Chevron, BP, and ConocoPhillips, Bonta alleges that the industry misled the public about the climate impacts of their products. As federal environmental protections face increasing challenges, he has also led legal efforts against actions by the Trump administration that California argues undermine clean energy, environmental safeguards, and climate progress. Background States such as California have turned to litigation as a way to preserve environmental protections and advance climate action.Many of these efforts are led by California Attorney General Rob Bonta, whose office is currently involved in 67 lawsuits, including several focused on environmental and climate issues. Transportation remains California's largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for roughly half of the state's total emissions. In response, California adopted aggressive vehicle-emissions standards and zero-emission vehicle requirements. These standards were enabled through waivers granted under the federal Clean Air Act. Recent efforts by Congress to overturn or weaken these authorities have triggered new legal battles over the future of vehicle emissions regulation at the state level. The Supreme Court's 2007 decision in Massachusetts v. EPA held that greenhouse gases qualify as air pollutants under the Clean Air Act. The ruling ultimately led to the EPA's Endangerment Finding, the scientific and legal determination that greenhouse gas emissions harm public health and welfare. That finding became the basis for federal greenhouse-gas regulations across multiple sectors, but notably provided an avenue for transportation regulations. The Trump administration's efforts to rescind the Endangerment Finding and eliminate vehicle-emissions standards represents one of the most significant climate-policy reversals in decades. California is suing to stop the rescission. Beyond regulatory disputes, California has also pursued accountability from fossil fuel companies. In ongoing litigation against major oil producers, including ExxonMobil and Shell, the state alleges that companies misled the public for decades about the climate risks associated with fossil fuel use while continuing to promote products that contributed to rising emissions.  Advantages Litigation gives states the power to hold the federal government and companies responsible for violations of the law. By bringing cases against the federal government, states can challenge actions they believe violate environmental laws and ensure that agencies follow existing legal requirements. Lawsuits also serve as an important component of the United States' system of checks and balances, allowing courts to review government decisions and determine whether they comply with the law. Drawbacks Despite its potential benefits, litigation is often a slow and uncertain path to climate action. Court cases can take months or even years to reach a final resolution, particularly when they involve appeals that move through multiple levels of the judicial system. Critics also argue that major climate decisions are better addressed through elected legislatures than through the courts. While lawsuits can enforce existing laws, they cannot always provide the comprehensive policy solutions needed to reduce emissions at the scale required to address climate change. Bonta's Take Attorney General Rob Bonta views litigation as one of California's most effective tools for advancing climate action and protecting environmental regulations. He argues that the courts provide a venue where disputes can be evaluated based on evidence, legal precedent, and statutory authority rather than political considerations. Through lawsuits against federal actions and fossil fuel companies, Bonta hopes to give Californians a voice in legal decisions that could affect the state's environmental future. Bonta emphasizes that his office's role is not to pursue political objectives, but to uphold the law and the Constitution. According to Bonta, decisions about which cases to bring are guided by facts, legal analysis, and the state's responsibility to protect its residents. He argues that when government agencies or private companies violate environmental laws or mislead the public, the legal system provides an important mechanism for accountability. About our guest Sworn in as California's 34th Attorney General in 2021, Rob Bonta has become a leading legal advocate for California residents. As the head of the nation's largest state Department of Justice, he oversees efforts to protect consumers, defend civil rights, and enforce environmental laws. With a 80% case win rate in court Bonta continues to work hard to be the heart of California's legal justice.

Bonus Episode for May 5. Financial results from U.S. oil companies Exxon Mobil, Chevron and ConocoPhillips show how oil companies expect to reap the benefits of a surge in oil prices due to the Iran war. Wall Street Journal oil reporter Collin Eaton discusses why that doesn't necessarily mean more investment in the oil patch. Benoît Morenne, who covers the oil-and-gas industry, hosts this special bonus episode of What's News in Earnings, where we dig into companies' earnings reports and analyst calls to find out what's going on under the hood of the American economy.

Muy buenos días, ¿qué revelan las minutas de Banxico tras el polémico recorte de tasas? Termina la semana y México la cierra con un rally de datos económicos desalentadores. En el mundo de la cerveza, Constellation Brands vuelve a posponer el estreno de su nueva planta en Veracruz y ConocoPhillips se une a Exxon en un posible regreso a Venezuela y Bessent y Powell reunieron a los pesos pesados de Wall Street para advertirles sobre Anthropic. 

President Trump zou de bevolking van Iran uitwissen. Als de Straat van Hormuz niet werd geopend zou 'een beschaving sterven en nooit meer terugkeren'. Dat gebeurde niet. Er kwamen geen bombardementen, maar een ouderwetse TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out). Er ligt een tijdelijke wapenstilstand tussen de VS en Iran. Wat zorgde voor hysterisch hamstergedrag onder beleggers. Aandelen werden massaal ingeslagen. Daar hebben we het deze aflevering over en dan vooral over de duurzaamheid van dit akkoord. Ook hoor je over hét slachtoffer Shell en die andere olie- en gasbedrijven. Over Shell gesproken: dat kwam met een trading update en die zag er goed uit. Shell heeft niet alleen veel meer olie verkocht, de marges zijn ook nog eens gestegen. Ze verwachten een 'significant' goed eerste kwartaal. Ook opvallend: de divisie met hernieuwbare energie doet het heel erg goed. Of andere beursbedrijven het de komende weken goed doen, gaan we zien. Het cijferseizoen gaat weer van start! We blikken vooruit en brengen in kaart waar (en op wie) je moet letten. Verder deze aflevering ook aandacht voor Elon Musk (die Sam Altman weg wil hebben bij OpenAI), aandacht voor Jos Baeten (die 17 jaar ceo was van ASR) en we bespreken een defensiebedrijf dat onder druk van de eigen overheid afscheid moeten nemen van de ceo. Te gast: Jean-Paul van Oudheusden van Markets Are Everywhere BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo. Over de makers: Jelle Maasbach is presentator van BNR Beurs en freelance financieel journalist. Zijn favoriete aandeel om over te praten is Disney, maar daar lijkt hij de enige in te zijn. Sinds de eerste uitzending van BNR Beurs is 'ie er bij. Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld. Je krijgt hem het meest enthousiast als hij kan praten over ASML, of oer-Hollandse bedrijven zoals Ahold of ABN Amro. Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat. Milou Brand is presentator van BNR Beurs, freelance podcastmaker en columnist bij het Financieele Dagblad. Jochem Visser is presentator van BNR Beurs, maakt Beursnerd XL en is redacteur bij de podcast Onder Curatoren. Vraag hem naar obscure zaken op financiële markten en hij vertelt je waarom het eigenlijk nóg leuker is dan je al dacht. Over de podcast: Met BNR Beurs ga je altijd voorbereid de nieuwe beursdag in. We praten je in een kleine 25 minuten bij over alle laatste ontwikkelingen op de handelsvloer. We blijven niet alleen bij de AEX of Wall Street, maar vertellen je ook waar nog meer kansen liggen. En we houden het niet bij de cijfers, maar zoeken ook iedere dag voor je naar duiding van scherpe gasten en experts. Of je nu een ervaren belegger bent of net begint met je eerste stappen op de beurs, de podcast biedt waardevolle inzichten voor je beleggingsstrategie. Door de focus op zowel de korte termijn als de lange termijn, helpt BNR Beurs luisteraars om de ruis van de markt te scheiden van de essentie. Van Musk tot Microsoft en van Ahold tot ASML. Wij vertellen je wat beleggers bezighoudt, wie de markten in beweging zet en wat dat betekent voor jouw beleggingsportefeuille.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"For early career geophysicists, I think it's really important to understand that DAS is going to have a unique role in reservoir management, be it onshore or offshore." Distributed acoustic sensing is opening new possibilities for how geophysicists collect and use seismic data. Ali Tura shares practical insights from his experience and highlights how these ideas will be explored further in his upcoming course on DAS applications. He explains how the technology's sensitivity, wide frequency range, and cost advantages make it valuable, while also emphasizing the importance of understanding its limitations. Learn more and register for the course (13-16 July 2026) at https://seg.org/shop/product/?id=product&id=ed9c4ebc-48dc-f011-8544-7c1e525cc2b5. KEY TAKEAWAYS > DAS sensitivity and bandwidth: DAS can detect extremely small signals across a very wide frequency range, making it useful for everything from geomechanics to seismic monitoring. > Cost and operational efficiency: Using existing fiber optic infrastructure allows teams to run surveys at much lower cost, especially for repeated monitoring like 4D seismic or CO2 storage. > Fit-for-purpose application: DAS is powerful but not universal, so success depends on choosing the right use case, deployment method, and survey design. GUEST BIO Ali Tura is Professor of Geophysics and Co-director of the Reservoir Characterization Project at Colorado School of Mines. His expertise is in the areas of petroleum systems, reservoir characterization and monitoring, seismic methods, CO2 and sequestration, fiber optics technology, and data analytics. He is also Chief Scientist at Tulip Geosciences, a geosciences consulting and training company. Before this, he was Geophysical Senior Fellow at ConocoPhillips, Geophysical Advisor at Chevron, and 4D subject matter expert at Shell. He has been an SEG member and active in the industry for more than 37 years and served as SEG Vice-president, Board of Directors of SEG-SEAM Inc., Chairman of the SEG Research Committee, Chairman of the Editorial Board of The Leading Edge, and Chairman of the SEG Global Affairs Committee. ABOUT SEISMIC SOUNDOFF Seismic Soundoff showcases conversations addressing the challenges of energy, water, and climate. Produced by the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) and hosted by Andrew Geary of 51 features, these episodes celebrate and inspire the geophysicists of today and tomorrow. Three new episodes monthly. See the full archive at https://seg.org/resources/podcast/.

Innovation comes in many areas, and compliance professionals need not only to be ready for it but also to embrace it. Join Tom Fox, the Voice of Compliance, as he visits with top innovative minds, thinkers, and creators in the award-winning Innovation in Compliance podcast. In this episode, host Tom Fox visits with energy journalist/publisher Loren Steffy to discuss whether a Trump administration announcement regarding Venezuela is meaningful for oil markets, concluding that it mainly increases uncertainty and is unlikely to drive major U.S. oil-company investment. They note West Texas shale generally needs about $60 oil to break even, making $50 oil politically and economically problematic. They explain that Venezuela's heavy crude requires specialized extraction technology and extensive, aging infrastructure upgrades to reach the market, potentially costing billions and taking decades, with some estimates placing Venezuela's break-even price at $80 or higher. They emphasize governance, corruption, degraded PDVSA human capital, contract enforceability, and unresolved debts (including reported $12B owed to ConocoPhillips) as key barriers, making Venezuela “uninvestible” for most majors and suggesting only high-risk players might consider entry amid unclear U.S. strategy. Key highlights: Venezuela Heavy Crude Basics Infrastructure Rebuild Challenge Human Capital and Governance Old Debts and Legal Risk Government Plan or Subsidies Resources: Loren Steffy on LinkedIn Stoney Creek Publishing  Innovation in Compliance was recently ranked Number 4 in Risk Management by 1,000,000 Podcasts.

Die US-Futures stehen deutlich unter Druck nach den Angriffen der USA und Israels auf den Iran am Wochenende. Präsident Trump erklärte, Ziel sei es, Irans Atom- und Raketenprogramm auszuschalten – die Militärschläge würden fortgesetzt, bis alle Ziele erreicht seien. Die Märkte reagieren sofort: Öl zieht kräftig an, mit WTI über 72 US-Dollar, Brent zeitweise über 82 US-Dollar. Gold legt ebenfalls deutlich zu. Eine klassische Fluchtbewegung. Profiteure sind Rüstungswerte, Drohnenhersteller und Tankeraktien. Verlierer sind Airlines, Reise- und Freizeitwerte und alles, was unter höheren Energiekosten leidet. Erschwerend kommt hinzu, dass Norwegian Cruise und Whirlpool die die Aussichten für 2026 senken. Berkshire Hathaway verfehlt ebenfalls die Ziele, wobei das Unternehmen in Anbetracht der hohen Barmittelquote als insgesamt defensiv gilt. Was Iran betrifft, ist jetzt nicht der erste Schock entscheidend, sondern die Dauer. Bleibt es eine kurze Eskalation, dürfte sich der Markt stabilisieren. Bleibt Öl jedoch nachhaltig erhöht, wird daraus schnell wieder ein Inflations- und Zinsthema. Wir sehen vor dem Opening zahlreiche Aufstufungen für die Aktien von Chevron, ConocoPhillips und Exxon.

The main topics we cover today are:1. Wind farm bankruptcies and land reclamation liabilities:  - The transcript discusses the bankruptcy filing of a wind farm in Clay County, Texas, which had 119 wind turbines. The wind farm faced $103 million in hedge-related liabilities exacerbated by Winter Storm Uri in 2021.  - The transcript highlights the broader issue of wind farms not having fully funded land reclamation plans, estimating a potential $89 billion liability across the U.S. wind turbine fleet.  - It calls for reforms, suggesting that wind and solar farms should be required to pay for storage and land reclamation upfront as part of their operating costs.2. California's energy challenges:  - The transcript discusses California's energy quagmire, including skyrocketing electricity prices, frequent blackouts, and a heavy reliance on imported power.  - It highlights California's moratorium on nuclear power and the potential to reopen the state's previously decommissioned nuclear facilities, such as Diablo Canyon, to address the energy crisis.3. ConocoPhillips' asset sale in the Permian Basin:  - The transcript examines ConocoPhillips' reported plans to sell certain assets in the Delaware Basin sub-region of the Permian Basin, valued at around $2 billion.  - It provides insights into the company's strategy to streamline its portfolio and maintain production guidance amid a constrained capital expenditure environment.4. Potential merger and acquisition activity in the Canadian oil sands sector:  - The transcript discusses the anticipation of merger mayhem in the Canadian oil sands sector, driven by record production levels and diversified export destinations.  - It mentions several Canadian oil companies, such as Suncor, Canadian Natural Resources, and Imperial Oil, that are eyeing potential U.S. listings.5. Geopolitical tensions and their impact on oil markets:  - The transcript discusses the potential risk of supply disruptions from Iran and Iraq, which has led oil traders to hedge against this risk.  - It suggests that the market is pricing in a potential risk premium of up to $10 per barrel due to the escalating tensions.6. Challenges faced by hyperscale data centers in securing reliable power:  - The transcript examines the growing electricity demand from hyperscale data centers and the challenges they face in finding adequate and reliable power supply, particularly from renewable sources.  - It questions the feasibility of data centers claiming to be 100% renewable, suggesting that nuclear power may be a necessary component.Based on the analysis, here are the main topics discussed in this transcript:1.Clay County Texas Wind Farm Goes Bankrupt and Leaves Land Reclamation in Question2.California Needs to End Its Outdated Nuclear Power Plant Moratorium to Survive3.ConocoPhillips Considers Selling Permian Assets Worth $2 Billion: Implications for Investors and the Permian Basin's Future4.Canada's Oil Sands Set Up for Merger Mayhem after Busy 20255.Trump 2.0's Grand Strategy Against China Is Slowly But Surely Coming Together6.Why Are Oil Traders Rushing to Hedge Iran Risk After a Wild Start to 20267.Power‑Hungry, Grid‑Locked : Where Hyperscalers Go To Find Their Next MegawattsThank you To Steve Reese and Reese Energy Consulting for sponsoring the podcast:https://reeseenergyconsulting.com/Check out the Energy News Beat Substack: https://theenergynewsbeat.substack.com/Check out The Energy News Beat Website: https://energynewsbeat.co/Questions on Investing in Oil: https://sandstoneassetmgmt.com/invest-in-oil-and-gas/

Leaders of the North Slope village of Nuiqsut sued the U.S. Department of Interior on January 28, for canceling a key subsistence protection for a development project, as The Alaska Desk’s Alena Naiden from our flagship station KNBA reports. About a year ago, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management issued an agreement with Nuiqsut leaders that prohibited oil and gas development around Teshekpuk Lake, which is located in the northeastern corner of the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska. The goal was to mitigate the harm that the ConocoPhillips' Willow project would have on caribou – a crucial subsistence resource for Nuiqsut residents. But last month, the Department of the Interior, which oversees BLM, canceled that agreement, saying it was improperly issued in the first place. In turn, Nuiqsut's leadership filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, arguing that the cancellation was illegal. “We’re fighting to protect the area and think about the caribou.” George Tuukaq Sielak is the president of Nuiqsut's Kuukpik Corporation. He says the cancellation was disappointing and damaged the trust of Nuiqsut residents. “By pulling that right of way off, I mean, it’s just like throwing us away.” Department of Interior officials declined to comment, citing the pending litigation. When BLM approved the controversial Willow project in 2023, one condition was mitigating the harm on Teshekpuk Lake – a key habitat for the Teshekpuk Caribou Herd. And BLM signed a right-of-way agreement with Nuiqsut to meet that condition. That conservation measure was backed by the law that directs the Department of Interior to conduct oil and gas leasing in the reserve. The law also requires “maximum protection” for Teshekpuk Lake and other significant subsistence areas. M Sielak, with Kuupik Corporation, says that Nuiqsut residents are careful when they consider development projects so close to their home, but the promise of additional protections for caribou helped more residents to get on board with Willow. “We will support development in our area, as long as we work together to balance, such as what we’re doing here with a right of way.” But the Department of the Interior said that the federal law does not authorize such conservation measures when it canceled the right-of-way agreement. The department also said in its cancellation letter that right-of-way agreements are usually used to allow oil and gas activities, not prohibit them, and that the primary goal of the law regulating the reserve is to support oil and gas leasing, while subsistence protections come second. The department indicated that they expect to hold lease sales this winter, which may include the area around Teshekpuk lake. Nuiqsut leadership say they might consider legal avenues – like seeking injunctive relief – to protect the area, but no decision has been made yet.

(Photo: Ron Stewart / National Park Service) A bipartisan bill on Capitol Hill is looking to turn one of Arizona's federal monuments into the state's fourth national park behind Saguaro, the Petrified Forest, and the Grand Canyon. KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has details. Established in 1924 by President Calvin Coolidge, Chiricahua National Monument is known by many as the “Wonderland of Rocks”. From Geronimo to Cochise, this land is also steeped in Apache history, something the San Carlos Apache Tribe and neighboring Mescalero Apache Tribe in New Mexico, want to see permanently protected. The effort is being led by U.S. Sens. Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) and U.S. Rep. Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ) in the House. If passed, Arizona would tie fourth-overall with Colorado – behind Utah, Alaska, and California – for states with the most national parks.

(Courtesy Yurok Tribe / Facebook) California tribes are gathering this week for the Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) Tribal Policy Summit. The annual summit in its fourth year and is expected to draw tribal leaders, lawmakers, advocates, and victims' families. The theme is justice, healing, sovereignty, and solutions to the MMIP crisis. Two proposed pieces of legislation will be discussed: a bill to establish a MMIP Justice Program within the state justice department – and a bill to establish a Tribal Foster Care Prevention Program to prevent Indigenous children from entering the child welfare system, which advocates say is a MMIP pathway.

This week on The Necessary Conversation, we cover one of the most disturbing weeks yet — from the killing of a U.S. citizen by an ICE agent in Minnesota, to mass protests and bloodshed in Iran, to Trump openly floating military action against Greenland and claiming that the only thing that can stop him is his own mind.Are we watching the normalization of authoritarian power in real time?

Never has so much been misunderstood by so many. In this episode, we break down what President Trump is actually doing in Venezuela—and why claims of “war” completely miss the point. From legally enforced sanctions and naval blockades to collapsing Venezuelan oil production and China's growing energy crisis, this may be one of the most consequential geopolitical maneuvers of our lifetime. This isn't regime change by bombs. It's power through courts, sanctions, energy leverage, and economic reality—executed entirely within the law. Is Trump building his own version of OPEC? Is China being economically cornered? And why does Venezuela suddenly have no choice but to comply? This is next-level strategy—and almost nobody is explaining it correctly.

La detención de Nicolás Maduro por parte de las autoridades estadounidenses abre un nuevo escenario de grandes oportunidades para las compañías petroleras internacionales. El país sudamericano posee las mayores reservas probadas de crudo del mundo, y su futura reconstrucción económica convertiría al sector energético en una pieza clave. En este contexto, el expresidente Donald Trump ha afirmado que ha solicitado a la nueva líder venezolana, Delcy Rodríguez, acceso total a los recursos petrolíferos del país, según declaró a periodistas a bordo del Air Force One. Este nuevo panorama permitiría la entrada de numerosas compañías extranjeras, aunque algunas ya operan en Venezuela. Entre ellas destaca Chevron, la única petrolera estadounidense que ha mantenido la autorización para extraer crudo venezolano a pesar de las duras sanciones impuestas en los últimos años. La razón de esta excepción se remonta a 2007, cuando el entonces presidente Hugo Chávez obligó a las petroleras extranjeras a convertir sus proyectos en empresas mixtas con PDVSA como socio mayoritario, reteniendo el 60 % de la propiedad. Mientras compañías como ConocoPhillips y Exxon rechazaron estas condiciones y abandonaron el país, Chevron las aceptó, lo que le permitió seguir operando y obtener importantes beneficios, especialmente entre los años 2000 y 2014, cuando Venezuela llegó a representar entre el 10 y el 20 % de sus ingresos globales. Con un posible levantamiento de sanciones y la promesa de garantías por parte de la Administración Trump, se abre la puerta para el regreso de grandes petroleras al país. Aunque la inversión inicial sería elevada debido al deterioro de infraestructuras y plantas petrolíferas, el potencial a largo plazo resulta altamente atractivo. Según Fox News, el Gobierno estadounidense ha asegurado a los ejecutivos del sector que podrán recuperar sus activos si deciden reinvertir en Venezuela. Este escenario beneficiaría especialmente a ConocoPhillips y Exxon, ya que los tribunales internacionales de arbitraje han determinado que el Estado venezolano les adeuda 10.000 millones y 1.000 millones de dólares respectivamente. El regreso al país podría permitirles recuperar esas pérdidas y volver a posicionarse en un mercado estratégico para el futuro energético global.

And like most things involving the president, the moves aren't without their critics — including some you might not normally expect pushback from. Trump's rapid response team highlighted the two vetoes: https://twitter.com/RapidResponse47/status/2006153283996381333?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2006153283996381333%7Ctwgr%5E79e6ef2350ae826bc802e9e5d82d5c97bad630de%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Fpresident-trump-issues-first-vetoes-second-term%2F The “Miccosukee Reserved Area Amendments Act” is a bill aimed at expanding the land set aside for the Miccosukee Tribe inside Everglades National Park by officially including a section known as Osceola Camp. Trump had a couple of issues with this. The residential community in that area “was constructed in 1935, without authorization, in a low area that was raised with fill material,” Trump's explanation read. “None of the current structures in the Osceola Camp are over 50 years old, nor do they meet the other criteria to be considered for listing in the National Register of Historic Places,” Trump wrote to the House. He added that, “the Miccosukee Tribe has actively sought to obstruct reasonable immigration policies that the American people decisively voted for when I was elected.” That appears to be a direct reference to the tribe's publicized opposition — including a lawsuit against the Trump administration — to the “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center in Florida, as noted by The Associated Press. The “Finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act,” meanwhile, is a bill designed to make it easier for rural Colorado communities to complete a long‑planned water pipeline project that will facilitate drinking water to people in the Arkansas River Valley. Trump appeared to take specific issue with the price tag and repayment plans for this project. “It was originally authorized … in a bill signed by President Kennedy in 1962,” Trump said. “For decades it was unbuilt, largely because the AVC was economically unviable.” “More than $249 million has already been spent on the AVC, and total costs are estimated to be $1.3 billion,” Trump wrote. “H.R. 131 would continue the failed policies of the past by forcing Federal taxpayers to bear even more of the massive costs of a local water project — a local water project that, as initially conceived, was supposed to be paid for by the localities using it. “Enough is enough. My administration is committed to preventing American taxpayers from funding expensive and unreliable policies. Ending the massive cost of taxpayer handouts and restoring fiscal sanity is vital to economic growth and the fiscal health of the Nation.” The bill was backed and pushed by Colorado GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert — normally a staunch supporter of Trump's — who seemed incensed with the president's veto and vowed that “this isn't over.” Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/EagleEdMartin/status/2006700820432130068?s=20  to believe that these Democrat Mayors and Governors, all of whom are greatly incompetent, would want us to leave, especially considering the great progress that has been made???

California is about to lose 22% of its gasoline production when Valero Benicia shuts down—on top of the 20% already gone from Marathon and ConocoPhillips closures. Let that sink in. We sat down with Mike Araiza, former Valero controller and petroleum expert, who breaks down exactly why California's refinery death spiral is creating a national security crisis. We're talking 40%+ of fuel coming from overseas (hello, Singapore, India, and countries buying Russian crude), maxed-out ports, military bases at risk, and gas prices heading to $8-12 per gallon by summer 2026. Meanwhile, Newsom's "solution"? Begging someone to buy refineries after 25 years of regulatory warfare, and throwing out 2,000 oil wells that'll have zero impact. The math doesn't math, folks. When you constrict supply while demand stays constant at 37-38 million gallons per day, what happens next? Arizona and Nevada get 50-88% of their fuel from California. The entire West Coast is one shipping disruption away from absolute chaos. Are we really going to virtue signal our way into fuel shortages and $10 gas while importing from countries with zero emission standards? This isn't speculation—it's basic economics meeting California's green agenda head-on.

[SOURCE – AUGUST 19, 2025] As originally reported in August 2025 {SOURCE}, a group of far-left human rights advocate sent a letter to 150 U.S. colleges and universities asking them to disable the CCTV systems to protect “free expression and academic freedom across the country,” because “the Trump administration has launched an aggressive campaign against US academic institutions.” The motive for the request to disable CCTV systems as stated: “Right now these tools are facilitating the identification and punishment of student protesters, undermining activists' right to anonymity––a right the Supreme Court has affirmed as vital to free expression and political participation.” {SOURCE} The letter from ‘Fight For The Future‘ (August, 2025) came after an earlier campaign by the same group seeking to stop the use of facial recognition cameras on college campuses. {SOURCE} Source: theconservativetreehouse.com https://twitter.com/DataRepublican/status/2001107948312133776?s=20   network.

The university has not released an official statement explaining the deletion, but online discussions and news coverage point to it as an effort to scrub digital traces of Kharbouch during the ongoing FBI manhunt and investigation. His X (formerly Twitter) account has also been taken down, fueling theories of a cover-up by the university, media, or authorities to control the narrative around his pro-Palestine activism and alleged radical views. As of now, federal authorities have released images and a timeline of the suspect’s movements but have not publicly confirmed Kharbouch’s involvement, though some outlets report he has fled and remains at large with a $50,000 reward offered for information leading to his arrest. This is a summary of his (now deleted) manifesto: In Mustapha Kharbouch’s 2024 manifesto, “I Hear The Voice of My Ancestors Calling: From The Camps to The Campus,” published by the Institute for Palestine Studies, the author reflects on his role in the Brown University Gaza Solidarity Encampment amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza. As a third-generation stateless Palestinian refugee raised in Lebanon, Kharbouch draws from his family’s history of displacement during the 1948 Nakba to frame his activism. The piece begins with lyrics from an adapted “Ancestor Song,” symbolizing a call to action and intergenerational resilience. He describes participating in non-violent protests, including an eight-day hunger strike by 19 students, arrests of 61 comrades for demanding university divestment from apartheid and illegal occupation, and organizing encampments with hundreds of participants engaging in rallies, teach-ins, art, film screenings, and chants. Kharbouch explores themes of “radical love” for land and people in Gaza, collective grief over the genocide, and solidarity as a revolutionary practice rooted in Palestinian revolutionary traditions that reject colonialism, carcerality, and imperialism. He critiques passive hope, instead advocating for active, decolonial hope through community-building and bearing witness to atrocities, like the invasion of Rafah. Influenced by queer feminist approaches (citing scholars like Sarah Ihmoud and Robin Kelley), he emphasizes transforming anger and despair into sustainable world-making, while questioning intergenerational betrayal and the cynicism inherited from survival under oppression. Ultimately, the manifesto affirms the encampment’s role in a broader student rebellion, linking campus actions to global Palestinian liberation and calling for continued, unyielding commitment despite challenges. https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/2001028141851013528?s=20 https://twitter.com/JamesHartline/status/2001090533746467327?s=20 https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/2001089445194235926?s=20 https://twitter.com/ProvidenceRIPD/status/2001345847133643062?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2001345847133643062%7Ctwgr%5E8764cf1453bd57445310069de900ad0f6828d697%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2025%2F12%2Fbreaking-providence-police-release-photos-person-proximity-brown%2F https://twitter.com/nypost/status/2001047137308590081?s=20 https://twitter.com/TheSCIF/status/2000985628029403418?s=20 https://twitter.com/amuse/status/2001347329585012818?s=20 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/2001000454042607728?s=20 DOGE Trump Suspends ‘Tech Prosperity Deal' With UK Over Censorship and Regulations by ‘Online Safety Bill' Hurting US Tech Companies  Trump has suspended the ‘Tech Prosperity Deal' with the UK over its censorship push. The Telegraph reported: “The White House paused the tech prosperity deal amid concerns the Online Safety Act, which regulates online speech, will stifle American artificial intelligence companies, the Telegraph understands. The law allows the British government to levy large fines on tech giants it deems have facilitated hate speech.” After the rise of artificial intelligence, companies like OpenAI or xAI can face huge fines – harming their growth and giving China an edge in the AI race. “'The perception is that Britain is way out there on attempting to police what is said online, and it's caused real concern', a source with knowledge of the decision to suspend the deal said. ‘Americans went into this deal thinking Britain were going to back off regulating American tech firms but realized it was going to restrict the speech of American chatbots'.” Source: thegatewaypundit.com Geopolitical https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/2001217017001685167?s=20    of our Assets, and many other reasons, including Terrorism, Drug Smuggling, and Human Trafficking, the Venezuelan Regime has been designated a FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. Therefore, today, I am ordering A TOTAL AND COMPLETE BLOCKADE OF ALL SANCTIONED OIL TANKERS going into, and out of, Venezuela. The Illegal Aliens and Criminals that the Maduro Regime has sent into the United States during the weak and inept Biden Administration, are being returned to Venezuela at a rapid pace. America will not allow Criminals, Terrorists, or other Countries, to rob, threaten, or harm our Nation and, likewise, will not allow a Hostile Regime to take our Oil, Land, or any other Assets, all of which must be returned to the United States, IMMEDIATELY. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA In 1970, as National Security Advisor, Kissinger was briefed on and helped shape US oil import policies toward Venezuela following a visit by Venezuelan President Rafael Caldera. These policies, announced in June 1970, focused on long-term petroleum development and were positively received by Venezuela, but they represented unilateral US adjustments rather than a negotiated deal.  In 1972, Venezuela terminated a longstanding reciprocal trade agreement with the US that included concessional tariff rates on Venezuelan oil imports. Kissinger was informed of this as National Security Advisor, and the US considered maintaining low tariffs to avoid cost increases, but this was a termination process, not a new deal.   Venezuela effectively took control of oil fields and assets from US companies on two major occasions, though the processes involved nationalization and expropriation rather than outright theft without legal frameworks or compensation. These actions shifted operations from private foreign (including US) entities to state control under the Venezuelan government.In the 1970s, Venezuela nationalized its entire oil industry, which had been largely developed and operated by foreign companies since the early 20th century. On January 1, 1976, the government officially took over, creating the state-owned Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA). This affected major US firms like Exxon (formerly Standard Oil), Gulf Oil, and others, which had held concessions. The companies were provided compensation as part of the process, and it was generally seen as an expected transition in global oil politics at the time, without major disruptions to US supply. In 2007, under President Hugo Chávez, Venezuela escalated state control by mandating that foreign oil projects in the Orinoco Belt (a massive heavy oil reserve) convert to joint ventures where PDVSA held at least a 60% stake. Companies like Chevron complied, but ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips refused, leading to the government expropriating their assets. International arbitration tribunals later ruled these actions unlawful, awarding ExxonMobil about $1.6 billion and ConocoPhillips over $8 billion in compensation (though Venezuela has contested and delayed payments). This has been a point of ongoing tension, with US firms pursuing Venezuelan assets globally to enforce the awards. These events did not involve taking oil fields directly from the US government but from American corporations with investments in Venezuela, reflecting broader shifts toward resource nationalism. https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2001087786879795546?s=20 War/Peace Zelensky: If Putin rejects peace plan, US must give us weapons The Ukrainian leader issued the warning as Russia said it would not drop its claims to land it believes to be its own  So Zelensky, NATO EU DS rewrote the plan knowing Russia wouldn’t accept it.  Source: thetimes.com Zelensky is stealing the election before it begins The overstaying Ukrainian leader has made a show of agreeing to hold a vote – but his preconditions make a mockery of it   The often-heard claim that Ukraine cannot hold presidential elections in wartime, by the way, is badly misleading, and a thoroughly politically motivated misrepresentation of the facts: In reality, the Ukrainian constitution only prohibits parliamentary elections in time of war.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth directed all War Department department heads and principal staff assistants to “take immediate action to recognize and reward [the] very best” of the department's civilian workforce with “meaningful monetary awards consistent with the relevant existing civilian awards authorities for each pay system,” according to a memorandum for senior Pentagon leadership first obtained by The Daily Wire. The distribution of bonuses — which could reach up to $25,000 — is also in line with the Trump administration's broader efforts to make the federal government function more like a private-sector business.

The massive 2010 sale of US uranium deposits to Russia approved by Hillary Clinton and rubber-stamped by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) – after figures linked to the deal donated to the Clinton Foundation? Turns out rank-and-file FBI investigators thought there was enough smoke to launch a criminal investigation, but internal delays and disagreements within the DOJ and FBI ultimately caused the inquiry to lapse, newly released records reveal.   The Uranium One transaction – involving the sale of a Canadian mining company with substantial U.S. uranium assets to Russia's state-owned nuclear firm Rosatom – became a flashpoint during Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. Critics argued that then-Secretary of State Clinton, a member of CFIUS, helped approve the deal while donors connected to Uranium One made large contributions to the Clinton Foundation.  The newly released documents suggest that the circumstances surrounding Uranium One were never fully investigated, leaving unresolved questions about how a strategic U.S. asset came under Russian control – and whether potential criminal conduct went unexamined due to internal delays and legal disputes.

Ex-Marine planned attack in New Orleans that would ‘recreate’ Waco, officials say Plans to “carry out an attack” in New Orleans were thwarted after an ex-Marine was arrested while on the way to the Louisiana city with guns and body armor in the car, according to court documents obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press. Micah James Legnon, 28, was charged with threats in interstate commerce. Federal authorities said they had been surveilling Legnon due to ties to an extremist anti-capitalist and anti-government group. Four members of the group were arrested Friday in the Mojave Desert, east of Los Angeles, as they were rehearsing a foiled plot to set off bombs in Southern California on New Year's Eve, authorities said.  Legnon believed it was time to “recreate” Waco with an attack in New Orleans, authorities said in court documents. They pointed to a Dec. 4 chat message by Legnon written under the alias “Kateri The Witch” the day after Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrived in New Orleans. Legnon's alias had “she/her” written beside it, but jail records referred to Legnon as male.

So everybody knows that — but I've often said that if I did, I'd have a very good chance of being an alcoholic. I have said that many times about myself, I do.

If I did, I could very well, because I've said that — what's the word? Not possessive — possessive and addictive type personality. Oh, I've said it many times, many times before,” he added.
