The deadline to submit public comments on a proposed federal oil and gas leasing program off the Central Coast is Feb. 26. And, state senators reaffirm California's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives amid ongoing attacks from the Trump administration.

On October 10, 2024, at around 4:23 p.m., some 27,000 pounds of toxic hydrogen sulfide gas were released during a maintenance activity at the PEMEX Deer Park Refinery in Deer Park, Texas. The refinery makes more than a quarter of a million barrels per day of motor fuels, like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, that are exported to the U.S., Mexico, and Latin America. The toxic release fatally injured a pair of contract workers and injured several others. So, what happened?Instead of opening a pipe flange on empty piping, contract workers from industrial service company Repcon, Inc. -- which specializes in welding, pipe fabrication, and maintenance -- mistakenly opened identical piping about five feet away that contained hydrogen sulfide gas. The pipe released pressurized hydrogen sulfide gas and fatally injured one of the Repcon workers.The hydrogen sulfide traveled downwind, where a worker from ISC Constructors, an industrial engineering and construction company, inhaled the toxic hydrogen sulfide and was also fatally injured.#PEMEX, #DeerParkRefinery, #HydrogenSulfide, #RefinerySafety, #ChemicalSafety, #CSB, #ASME, #IndustrialAccident, #ProcessSafety, #WorkplaceSafety, #OilAndGas, #H2S, #IndustrialMaintenance, #PlantSafety, #SafetyInvestigation

The Supreme Court is taking up a landmark climate case this fall, pitting a medium sized county against fossil fuel corporations. The AP's Jennifer King reports.

The North Dakota Oil and Gas Division's February 2026 Director's Cut features December 2025 production information and market updates from the North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources Director, Nathan Anderson and Justin J. Kringstad, Director of the North Dakota Pipeline Authority.

Kemp Gregory, co-founder and CEO of Renewell Energy, discussed his background in mechanical engineering and petroleum engineering at Shell before transitioning to renewable energy with a master’s from Stanford. He explained that Renewell energy during low-demand periods and releasing it during peak demand, thus increasing grid flexibility. On episode 316 of The Green Insider, Mike and Kemp discussed their business model of leasing abandoned wells from original producers, offering a revenue-sharing option if the well-owners wish to participate in energy storage revenue. Other items included: Proposes converting suitable idle oil and gas wells into energy storage facilities instead of fully plugging and abandoning them This alternative can be lower cost than traditional well plugging while still meeting regulatory well-closure requirements Benefits regulators (meeting plugging quotas), oil and gas companies (cost savings and potential revenue), and the electric grid (added energy storage) Describes a gravity-based storage system that stores energy by lowering and raising a 30,000‑pound weight inside sealed wells Wells are sealed to prevent methane leakage, though carbon credits are not relied on for economic viability The system functions like a battery, storing excess energy during low demand and releasing it during peak demand Repurpose existing wells and electrical infrastructure, avoiding the need for new high-voltage transmission lines Business model involves leasing abandoned wells from original producers, with an option for revenue sharing Notes that Renewell secured $6.4 million in grants to convert additional wells near Bakersfield, California, and build its first commercial-scale system To be an Insider Please subscribe to The Green Insider powered by ERENEWABLE wherever you get your podcast from and remember to leave us a five-star rating.

Jack Prandelli of The Merchants News Substack stopped by, and we had a blast visiting about huge changes in the oil and gas markets. At the end of the podcast, we also discuss how we should restructure electricity prices for consumers. 1. China's efforts to reduce its reliance on the US dollar:  - China is shorting US Treasuries and buying gold to try to reduce its dependence on the US dollar in global trade, especially for commodities like oil.  - However, China still relies heavily on importing oil and gas, which is priced in US dollars through the petrodollar system.2. The growth of US LNG exports to Europe:  - The US is rapidly expanding its LNG export capacity, which is helping Europe replace Russian gas.  - A key company, OneOk, owns a large portion of the pipeline infrastructure market supporting US LNG exports.3. The performance and strategies of major oil and gas companies:  - Integrated companies like Exxon and Chevron are performing better than more specialized companies like Occidental.  - European oil majors like BP and Total are struggling more, with BP considering asset sales.4. OPEC's challenges in managing oil production and pricing:  - OPEC has struggled to meet its own production targets, leading it to consider changes to its pricing mechanisms.  - There are geopolitical tensions, like the US trying to influence OPEC members like Venezuela and Iran.5. The role of natural gas, renewables, and nuclear power in the energy transition:  - The guests discuss the pros and cons of different energy sources, arguing for a balanced approach that ensures reliable and affordable energy.  - There are concerns about the ability of renewables alone to provide reliable power without fossil fuel or nuclear backup.Stu and Jack cover a wide range of topics related to the global energy markets, geopolitics, and the energy transition, with a focus on oil, gas, and LNG. Based on the transcript analysis, here are the main topics discussed:**1. China's De-Dollarization Strategy**China is actively working to reduce its dependence on the US dollar by shorting US Treasuries and accumulating gold. However, this effort faces a fundamental constraint: China's massive need for imported oil and gas, which are priced in US dollars through the petrodollar system, keeps it tethered to dollar-denominated trade.**2. US LNG Export Expansion**The US is rapidly scaling up its liquefied natural gas (LNG) export capacity, playing a crucial role in helping Europe transition away from Russian gas supplies. One Oak, a significant player, controls a large portion of the pipeline infrastructure that supports these exports.**3. Oil and Gas Company Performance**The discussion compares how different energy companies are faring:- Integrated majors like Exxon and Chevron are outperforming more specialized companies like Occidental- European oil majors (BP, Total) are struggling more significantly, with some considering asset sales**4. OPEC Production and Pricing Challenges**OPEC faces difficulties meeting its own production targets and is considering adjustments to its pricing mechanisms. Geopolitical tensions also play a role, with the US attempting to influence OPEC members like Venezuela and Iran.**5. Energy Transition and Power Sources**We debate the role of natural gas, renewables, and nuclear power in the energy transition, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach that maintains reliable and affordable energy while questioning whether renewables alone can provide consistent power without fossil fuel or nuclear backup.Connect with Jack on his LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/prandelligiacomo/Check out the Merchant News Substack: https://themerchantsnews.substack.com/Thank 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/

From farm boy in Canada to petroleum engineer in the Bakken to clean tech founder, Prab explains how his team is using microbes to eat leftover oil in abandoned fields and produce hydrogen without water, turning billion-dollar liabilities into clean energy assets. He walks through their first-of-a-kind California project that hit 40% hydrogen production, the West Texas deployments coming next, and why co-locating data centers in oil fields solves both the molecule transport problem and the cooling water challenge. They discuss hitting $0.50 per kilogram hydrogen by 2028, why natural gas isn't going anywhere, and how oil and gas companies are actually paying them to figure out the future of their abandoned reservoirs.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.

The U.S. has been drilling for oil and gas for more than 160 years, and what to do with those wells once they are no longer productive has long been an issue, as they can also be significant emitters of methane, a major greenhouse gas. Today, we discuss a new approach that aims to address both issues.

Austin Draughon spent nine years at BP keeping Gulf of Mexico wells producing tens of thousands of barrels per day from floating platforms in 6,000+ feet of water. He breaks down why offshore is ten times more expensive, takes ten times longer, and involves ten times more people than onshore drilling, from robots tightening bolts on the seafloor to the ice problem that can kill a well in eight hours. Jacob and Julie learn why you can't just build 6,000-foot concrete pillars, how Christmas trees got their name, and what happens when asphalt buildup shuts down a 10,000 barrel per day well worth the energy consumption of Montana.

China's domination of minerals - especially the copper needed for electrification, data centres, robots, cellphones and defence technology - is pushing the United States to ramp up its control of oil and minerals worldwide, argues Daniel Yergin, one of the world's top experts in the economics of oil. In this episode, Yergin explains how Venezuela, Greenland, Iran, Russia and other issues are connected to the business of oil and the competition to control Earth's minerals. And while US President Donald Trump's motives in Venezuela and Greenland are unclear, Yergin says one thing is certain: The US is desperate to achieve supply chain independence from China.

Pascal Wagner interviews Bob Fraser, CFO and chief macro strategist at Aspen Funds, to break down how oil and gas can (or can't) fit inside a diversified portfolio. Bob explains the three parts of the industry (upstream, midstream, downstream), why most LP horror stories come from drilling risk, and why he prefers buying already-producing, non-operated working interests to reduce geology/engineering/operator risk. He also walks through what tax benefits investors often misunderstand (IDCs vs. depletion allowance), the importance of low leverage + hedging in a volatile commodity business, and the key red flags he'd watch for when underwriting deals (vertical wells, unrealistic pricing assumptions, and weak operator quality).
