Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - On March 21, Environment and Climate Change Canada issued a press release stating that in 2023 Canada's greenhouse gas emissions dropped to their lowest level in 27 years (excluding the pandemic years). The exception in this otherwise positive picture was the oil and gas sector, where emissions continue to rise. However there is good news within that sector as well, ‘fugitive greenhouse gas emissions from oil and natural gas have decreased by 33% between 2013–2023, driven in part by Canada's 2020 oil and gas methane regulations, which have reduced methane venting and leaks.' “The two main messages from the National Inventory report last week, which I feel are really important, is that climate policy works. Over the last 10 years, Canada's greenhouse gas emissions have gone down. Our methane emissions have gone down. Our electricity has become less emissions intensive, and all of that has happened while our economy has grown. This is a significant point to make. And this is something that environmental groups, activists, researchers, community leaders, all of them have been saying for decades,” responded Aly Hyder Ali, from Environmental Defence. “The other aspect of the report was that the oil and gas industry is holding us back. The oil and gas industry has failed to do its part when it comes to emissions reductions and if it was able to or willing to do that, Canadians would be in a much better place.”
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different outcome. In oil and gas, we do the same thing over and over, knowing the outcome will vary—but believing we're optimizing it. With billions at stake, the industry needs better ways to react in real time. As capital market pressures rise and companies consolidate, optimization is no longer optional—it's survival. The days of a “sand disposal” mentality in hydraulic fracturing are fading. Operators need data-driven decision-making to improve well performance, cut waste, and reduce risks. Enter ShearFRAC, a company pioneering real-time pressure diagnostics to transform completions. Andrew McMurray, CEO and co-founder of ShearFRAC, is at the forefront of this change. With a background in mechanical engineering and years in the service sector, he has built a company that challenges industry inertia. ShearFRAC solutions provide immediate insights to operators, allowing them to adapt on the fly—tightening performance curves, cutting costs, and increasing efficiency. Additional Tools & Resources
US President Donald Trump has threatened to slap tariffs of 25 percent on all imports from countries that buy oil and gas from Venezuela. The move is intended to reduce the lifeline that Venezuela's oil and gas represents for Nicolas Maduro's regime. Trump also accuses Caracas of purposefully sending gang members to the United States. Also in this edition, our correspondents in Germany head to the town of Lüdenscheid to get a better sense of the country's infrastructure crisis.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is escalating her fight against federal overreach, moving to ban federal enforcement officers from inspecting oil and gas sites in the province. The announcement comes as energy executives from some of Canada's largest oil and gas companies call on federal leaders to declare a “Canadian energy crisis.” The province is also taking aim at student unions suppressing free speech, vowing not to follow the path of UBC Okanagan's student union, which initially banned a Conservative campus club before reversing the decision. Meanwhile, Alberta has denied wrongdoing in the lawsuit filed by former Alberta Health Services CEO Athana Mentzelopoulos, saying she was fired for failing to do her job, not for investigating procurement issues. And finally, despite his poor approval ratings, Edmonton Mayor Amarjeet Sohi is making moves to join Mark Carney's Liberals, setting the stage for a costly mayoral by-election.

Almost a third of people in Louisiana are on Medicaid. And hundreds of providers rely on federal reimbursements to operate.But funding for the program is under threat. The Trump administration – and a majority of Republican lawmakers – say they want to cut funding for Medicaid to help pay for tax cuts. Many patients and providers in Louisiana are watching the debate in Washington closely. Alice Riener, chief executive officer of Crescent Care, a Medicaid provider in New Orleans, and Dr. Peggy Honoré, board president of the New Orleans Musicians Clinic, tell us about how these potential cuts could impact Louisianans. Universities have been cozying up to the fossil fuel industry for decades, and at LSU, the mid-twentieth century oil boom helped grow the institution. Yesterday, we brought you the first part of “Fueling Knowledge,” an investigation from the Sea Change podcast that explores LSU's relationship with oil and gas. Where we pick up today, we learn about the so-called “golden age” of the fossil fuel industry in Louisiana. ___Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Bob Pavlovich.

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - According to Environment and Climate Change Canada, the oil and gas sector is a major contributor to Canada's economy, employing 182,000 people and generating $209 billion in GDP during 2023, yet it is also the source of 31% of Canada''s Greenhouse gas emissions. “Demand for oil and gas is not going to go to zero tomorrow. It is a transition that takes decades to undergo. There will be a role for oil and gas as we move forward along that transition, but it is likely to be a cleaner oil and gas sector as the rest of the world stops buying the oil and gas products that Canada and other countries produce. Which , I think, really underlines the importance of investing in decarbonization now while we're still using oil and gas to 2050 and a little bit beyond if we get on a net zero trajectory,” explained Janetta McKenzie from the Pembina Institute, a Canadian think tank and non-profit focused on energy. She was responding to a new report from the Federal Parliamentary Budget Office. Janetta McKenzie: “They were assuming that very little action was taken by oil sands firms in particular, to reduce emissions on site, and therefore they would be choosing to stop producing. Across the sector, there's been a lot of commitments to slashing emissions by 2030. There's billions of dollars on offer through federal and provincial tax incentive and grant programs. We think there is a path towards choosing to decarbonize, choosing to reduce emissions and not just choosing to shut in production. We think it's a pretty narrow analysis that's based on a very specific set of assumptions that doesn't necessarily reflect the suite of options available to the sector.” The oil sector has been promoting the idea of carbon capture for years. A group of oil companies put forward a $16.5-billion plan for a massive carbon capture and storage (CCS) network in northern Alberta, but has not implemented it. Janetta McKenzie: “We have not seen a lot of movement from the oil sands Pathways Alliance carbon capture project. This was announced several years ago. We simply haven't seen it move ahead. In the absence of news on that, it's difficult to make the call on whether those big emissions reduction projects will be implemented anytime soon.” According to Environment and Climate Change Canada, “New regulations to be finalized later this fall will ensure that the sector continues to cut methane emissions by at least 75% from 2012 levels by 2030. Carbon capture is also going to play an increasingly important role in reducing the emissions from oil and gas production and Canada is well placed to cement its position as a global leader in this critical technology. According to both the IPCC and the International Energy Agency, there's no credible plan to carbon neutrality without carbon management technologies such as carbon capture and storage and their deployment must be rapid and immense, scaling up by nearly 200 times by 2050.” Janetta McKenzie: “It's difficult to say what is on the docket for these firms right now. I will say, with the combination of policy, like industrial carbon pricing, incentives, tax incentives like the carbon capture incentive tax credit from the federal government and provincial grants in particular for carbon capture, but also other emissions reductions technologies plus the possibility of doing a deal with the Canada Growth Fund, the conditions for the last couple of years have been quite good to get a pretty package to incentivize and encourage the industry to move forward with these things.”
Send us a textOil and gas investments can be a goldmine — but only if you know how to navigate the complexities. In this episode, Vinki Loomba sits down with expert Courtney Moeller to discuss strategies, risks, and the unique tax benefits of investing in this lucrative yet volatile sector.Key Takeaways:The State of the Oil and Gas Market: Despite political shifts and the “drill baby drill” mindset, Courtney explains why major oil operators aren't ramping up production anytime soon. Infrastructure improvements are key before drilling can truly expand.Tax Benefits of Oil and Gas Investments: Unlike other asset classes, oil and gas offers powerful tax incentives, including massive depreciation (up to 85% in the first year) and a depletion allowance that can save investors thousands in taxes.Navigating Market Volatility: Oil prices are inherently volatile, but there are ways to mitigate risk. Courtney suggests focusing on projects with low break-even prices and working with experienced operators who can optimize production based on market conditions.The Role of Due Diligence: Just as in real estate, thorough due diligence is critical in oil and gas. Whether partnering with major companies like Exxon or smaller operators, vetting the track record and history of operators is essential to a successful investment.Mitigating Risks: While dry holes and market fluctuations pose risks, investing in mineral rights or partnering with experienced operators can reduce the likelihood of total loss and ensure long-term returns.

Welcome to episode three of the Future of Energy podcast sponsored by the Ershaghi Center for Energy Transition at the University of Southern California. While all of our guests are special, we may have outdone ourselves in this interview. In our episode today and we have a different format where we went on the road and traveled to Denver, Colorado to the headquarters of Liberty Energy to talk to their CEO Chris Wright about the future of oil and gas. Our program sponsor Kyle Koerner is the moderator.Fossil fuels make up over 80% of the energy we use today globally so if there is a meaningful transition, we must develop solutions to replace this traditional, energy-dense, source in the context of rising energy demand. That is a big challenge that Mr. Wright describes. He earned a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and a master's degree in electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He was a graduate student in electrical engineering at the University of California, Berkeley and at MIT. Chris is passionate about any form of energy that improves human lives.We have so much to talk to Chris Wright about and his responses were so informative that we divided this episode into nine segments, and to add more information we have added some “Did you Know” segments as segues between our conversations. As a spoiler alert and just to name drop, Chris Wright is the new Energy Secretary for the new administration in Washington, so listen closely and take a lot of notes.

Halen Mattison and Luke Neise are co-founders at General Galactic. General Galactic is a seed-stage e-fuels startup out of El Segundo in the Los Angeles area that converts captured CO₂ into synthetic fuels, starting with natural gas. They claim that their end product is a carbon-neutral drop-in replacement for natural gas that can run in all of today's vast gas infrastructure. In their view, any company or country can in theory become a gas producer.
