On May 25, the Federal Trade Commission announced their consent for the planned acquisition of Pioneer Natural Resources by ExxonMobil. It was the largest shale oil and gas merger ever planned. The consent may not have been a surprise, but one of the conditions was: that former Pioneer Natural Resources CEO Scott Sheffield was prohibited from taking a planned seat on ExxonMobil's board and accused of colluding with other industry players to increase consumer prices and maximize company profits. Articles began to appear in the media that described the condition, which ExxonMobil did agree to, as “unprecedented,” “unusual,” and even “a smear campaign.” Is Scott Sheffield a colluding villain or a scapegoat of big oil and the federal government?  In this episode of Art of Supply, Kelly Barner brings together details about:  The structure of the oil market, including U.S. producers as well as OPEC and OPEC+ The case against Scott Sheffield, as made by the FTC and media outlets that side with them The case made in his defense, some in his own words and some from industry onlookers and commentators as well as other media outlets Links: Kelly Barner on LinkedIn Art of Supply LinkedIn newsletter  Art of Supply on AOP Subscribe to This Week in Procurement  

Scott Sheffield, the former CEO of one of America's top oil companies, is firing back against allegations from the Federal Trade Commission that he colluded with OPEC and other oil companies to boost fuel prices. It's the latest development in a saga that has thrown US oil companies into the political spotlight during the 2024 election season. POLITICO's Ben Lefebvre breaks down how Sheffield is defending himself and why these allegations have become a political flashpoint. Plus, the Biden administration proposed initial guidance for technology-neutral tax credits expected to account for the bulk of greenhouse gas reductions under Democrats' climate law.   For more news on energy and the environment, subscribe to Power Switch, our free evening newsletter: https://www.politico.com/power-switch And for even deeper coverage and analysis, read our Morning Energy newsletter by subscribing to POLITICO Pro:  https://subscriber.politicopro.com/newsletter-archive/morning-energy   Ben Lefebvre is an energy reporter for POLITICO.  Josh Siegel is an energy reporter for POLITICO.  Nirmal Mulaikal is a POLITICO audio host-producer.  Kara Tabor is an audio producer for POLITICO.

Thanks!After my fascinating conversation with Rodge Cohen of Sullivan & Cromwell, I wanted to interview another transactional lawyer for the Original Jurisdiction podcast. But to mix things up, I wanted to speak with an up-and-coming dealmaker rather than a senior statesperson. And because May is Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month, I was hoping to feature a lawyer of AANHPI descent.Meet Shanu Bajaj, a mergers and acquisitions partner at Davis Polk & Wardwell. Although she hasn't been a partner for long, Shanu has already been recognized as a star of the M&A bar. In February, she took the #3 spot in the MergerLinks ranking of Top Female M&A lawyers in North America. In March, The American Lawyer named Shanu one of its 2024 Dealmakers of the Year, based on her representation of ExxonMobil in 2023's largest transaction, the oil giant's $59.5 billion purchase of Pioneer Natural Resources.What drew Shanu to M&A as a practice area? What are two abilities that she views as especially important for transactional attorneys? How does she describe her personal style as a dealmaker? And what are her tips for making partner in Biglaw, during a time when the rewards are richer—but the odds are longer—than ever?Thanks to Shanu for taking the time to tackle these and many other topics with me, and congratulations to her on the well-deserved recognition of her talents. And with decades of deals ahead of her, she's just getting warmed up.Show Notes:* Shanu Bajaj bio, Davis Polk & Wardwell* The 2024 Dealmakers of The Year, The American Lawyer* Which M&A Attorneys Drove the Most Business as Deal Leads?, by Patrick Smith for The American LawyerPrefer reading to listening?

There is also ongoing focus on the Fed outlook, with a reduction in rate cut expectations remaining a talking point.

What are the real costs of going green, and who is going to pay the bill? In Part A of our episode on the cost of going green, we bring expert guest Brad Handler onto the show. Brad is Program Manager for the Sustainable Finance Lab at the Payne Institute for Public Policy at the Colorado School of Mines, and a former Wall Street Equity Research Analyst with 20 years of experience covering the oil sector. He breaks down why we are still investing so much in fossil fuels, the investments that might be needed to support the growth of renewable energy, and how we might redirect investments towards developing countries that will play a large role in the energy transition. We also dive into why oil companies have been so profitable, whether divesting from fossil fuels is a good idea, and the role that Wall Street and the fossil fuel industry might play in the energy transition. 01:21 Interview with Brad Handler 56:00 Concluding Remarks Stay tuned for Part B next week, where we chat with a panel of mineral economics students from Ghana at the Colorado School of Mines, who help us better understand the challenges of sustainable development from a sub-Saharan Africa perspective.

This Day in Legal History: Racially-Integrated Bus Service Begins in MontgomeryOn this day in legal history, December 21st, we spotlight a pivotal moment in the civil rights movement: the start of racially-integrated bus service in Montgomery, Alabama. On December 21, 1956, a significant change unfolded in the streets of Montgomery as buses began operating under a new, integrated system. This historic shift came after enduring federal court rulings that conclusively terminated the practice of on-board segregation.The genesis of this transformative moment can be traced back to the courageous efforts of the African American community in Montgomery. Their resilience was epitomized in the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a protest sparked by Rosa Parks' refusal to give up her seat to a white passenger. This boycott, lasting over a year, was a strategic and peaceful defiance against segregation and racial injustice.Two key figures in this historic change were Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Rev. Ralph Abernathy. As prominent leaders of the bus boycott, they symbolized the relentless struggle for equality and justice. On that significant day, they were among the first to ride the buses under the newly implemented integrated service.The Montgomery Bus Boycott and the subsequent integration of the bus service marked a crucial victory in the civil rights movement. It not only challenged and changed segregation laws but also galvanized the fight for civil rights across the United States. This event is a testament to the power of collective action and the enduring pursuit of equality.The legacy of December 21, 1956, continues to resonate as a reminder of the long and ongoing journey towards racial equality. It stands as a beacon of hope and a symbol of the enduring spirit of resistance against injustice. Today, we remember and honor this monumental day in legal history, a day that forever changed the fabric of American society.The U.S. Supreme Court, reshaped by former President Donald Trump, is set to confront a series of cases that could significantly impact the 2024 presidential election. Central to these cases is Trump's role in the events leading up to the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, where his supporters attempted to obstruct the certification of Joe Biden's victory. These cases mark the Supreme Court's most politically charged involvement in elections since the decisive 2000 ruling in favor of George W. Bush.Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of UC Berkeley Law School, highlights the unprecedented potential of the court to influence the upcoming election, particularly regarding Trump's ballot eligibility and the progression of his federal criminal prosecution. Amidst a conservative shift in American law, the court's approach to these cases is closely watched, especially after recent rulings on key issues like abortion and gun rights.A pivotal moment is Trump's vow to challenge a Colorado court ruling disqualifying him from the state's primary ballot. The outcome of this appeal could set a precedent for similar challenges in other states. Currently, Colorado is the only state among 32 to disqualify Trump based on the 14th Amendment, which prohibits those involved in insurrection from holding federal office. The Supreme Court's decision in the Colorado case could influence similar efforts nationwide, with Michigan, a politically critical state, also considering a related case.Leah Litman, a law professor at the University of Michigan, underscores the high stakes of these disputes for democracy, particularly in their implications for upholding the peaceful transition of power.The court is also entangled in criminal cases against Trump. Special Counsel Jack Smith has requested the court to rule on Trump's claim of immunity from prosecution for actions related to his 2020 election defeat. Additionally, the court will decide if obstruction charges related to the January 6 assault are applicable, which could affect Trump, who faces similar charges.Trump, facing four criminal prosecutions, has pleaded not guilty in all cases. His legal team may soon seek Supreme Court intervention in a defamation lawsuit by E. Jean Carroll. Despite the court's conservative leaning, experts like Stanford Law's Michael McConnell do not anticipate bias in favor of Trump, even though the legal issues are more nuanced than in post-election litigation.Trump legal clashes reach US Supreme Court as 2024 election nears | ReutersA U.S. federal judge has temporarily blocked a California law set to ban the carrying of guns in most public places from January 1. U.S. District Judge Cormac Carney, of the Central District of California, issued a preliminary injunction stating that the law would unconstitutionally deprive concealed carry permit holders of their Second Amendment right to carry a handgun in public for self-defense. He described the law as "sweeping" and "repugnant to the Second Amendment."California Attorney General Rob Bonta expressed intentions to appeal the decision, arguing that if the ruling stands, it would put communities at risk by allowing guns in areas frequented by families and children. Governor Gavin Newsom criticized the decision, voicing concerns about the proliferation of guns in sensitive areas like hospitals, libraries, and playgrounds.The law, signed in September, aimed to prohibit concealed firearms in 26 types of "sensitive places," including hospitals, playgrounds, and places of worship. Judge Carney's ruling pointed out that the law would turn almost every public place in California into a 'sensitive place,' effectively negating the Second Amendment rights for law-abiding citizens to defend themselves in public.The Second Amendment's interpretation has long been debated in the U.S., especially with gun violence being a leading cause of death among children since 2020. Judge Carney referenced recent Supreme Court rulings that have expanded gun rights, stating that individuals must be able to exercise their right to self-defense, including bearing arms responsibly.Chuck Michel, president of the California Rifle & Pistol Association, which filed the lawsuit, argued that the state's politicians are refusing to accept Supreme Court rulings that uphold gun carrying rights. Michel hailed the court's decision as a recognition of the state's overreach in gun control measures.US federal judge blocks California law barring guns in public | ReutersIn 2023, global mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity dropped to its lowest point in a decade, influenced by high interest rates and economic slowdowns. The total M&A volume fell 18% to around $3 trillion, the lowest since 2013. Dealmakers attribute this decline to increased financing costs for acquisitions and economic uncertainties making price agreements challenging.Despite the downturn, experts foresee a rebound in M&A activity. In the United States, M&A volumes decreased by 8% to $1.42 trillion, while Europe and the Asia Pacific regions saw sharper declines. Private equity-led buyout volumes globally also fell by 38%. However, the fourth quarter of the year showed a 19% increase in deal volumes, mainly driven by significant transactions in the oil and gas industry, including Exxon Mobil's $60 billion acquisition of Pioneer Natural Resources and Chevron Corp's $53 billion purchase of Hess Corp.The report highlights the challenges in deal-making due to a tough antitrust environment and lengthy regulatory reviews, especially for cross-border deals. The uncertainty of regulatory regimes due to upcoming elections in the U.S. and India may also affect M&A activities. However, corporate buyers are expected to continue their strategic M&A planning.Shareholder activism is rising, potentially driving more M&A activity. M&A advisers are optimistic, noting a more robust pipeline of deals for 2024 compared to the previous year. This optimism is echoed by Jim Langston of Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, who notes an acceleration in market confidence and active transaction dialogues.Dealmakers see rebound after global M&A volumes hit decade-low | ReutersNasdaq Inc.'s rules requiring listed companies to have diverse boards or explain their absence will take effect by December 31, following the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) approval in 2021. These regulations, surviving a legal challenge from two conservative groups in the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, are based on the premise that board diversity information is significant to investors.Companies must now include at least one board member who is a woman, belongs to an underrepresented minority, or identifies as LGBTQ+, or publicly explain non-compliance. Nasdaq's definition of underrepresented minorities includes various racial and ethnic groups. Exceptions are provided for newly listed companies and those with small boards.By the end of 2025, companies on Nasdaq's Global or Global Select market tiers must have at least two diverse directors—one being a woman and the other from an underrepresented minority or LGBTQ+ community. Smaller firms have until 2026 to meet this requirement. Companies with small public floats or revenues can satisfy this with two female directors, regardless of minority or LGBTQ+ status. Foreign companies and smaller boards have more lenient requirements.Since 2022, companies have disclosed board demographics using Nasdaq's diversity matrix. However, a Bloomberg Law analysis observed a decrease in boards with women and minority or LGBTQ+ directors from 2022 to 2023.The Fifth Circuit could still overturn these rules if the full court decides to review the decision by the three-judge panel, which was composed of judges appointed by Democratic presidents. The majority of judges on the full court are appointed by Republicans.Non-compliant companies will receive a grace period from Nasdaq's Listing Qualifications Department. Persistent non-compliance could lead to delisting, subject to an appeal to a Nasdaq hearings panel.Contested Nasdaq Board Diversity Rules Take Effect: Explained Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

De Amerikaanse centrale bank gaat de rente niet al begin volgend jaar verlagen, zoals veel beleggers denken. Nee, die eerste renteverlaging komt pas op z'n vroegst in juli, maar mogelijk nog veel later. En de stappen waarmee dat gebeurt, zijn ook nog eens veel kleiner. Dat concludeert de Financial Times na een rondvraag onder top-economen. Klopt het en zijn beleggers veel te optimistisch? En hoe raakt dat jouw beleggingen? In deze aflevering gaat het ook over Nvidia. Het chipbedrijf heeft een slimmigheidje bedacht waarmee ze het Chinese exportverbod omzeilen. Nvidia gaat chips maken die 'handelsoorlog-proof' zijn. Lukt het Nvidia om iedereen - de Amerikanen én Chinezen - te vriend te houden?  Verder hoor je dat reisorganisatie TUI van plan is om zélf z'n koffers te pakken. Het denkt erover na om de beursnotering in Londen te schrappen. Bij McDonald's geen verhuis- maar uitbreidingsplannen. De fastfoodketen wil in rap tempo 9.000 nieuwe restaurants uit de grond stampen, vooral in Amerika. En in Amerika komt ook de concurrentiewaakhond in actie.

Three news stories summarized & contextualized by analytic journalist Colin Wright.Key Fed inflation measure rises at slowest pace since 2021Summary: New inflation data released yesterday indicate that consumer prices in the US rose at a slower-than-expected pace in October, and that led to a surge in stock market activity around the country and in connected global markets.Context: This is broadly being seen as good news, for the US Federal Reserve, which is tasked with pulling inflation down to something close to 2%, and for US residents who have struggled with high inflation rates for several years; overall prices rose 3.2% in October compared to the previous year, which is down from September's rate of increase, and core prices, which exclude more variable and volatile food and energy numbers, rose 4% on an annual basis, which is the smallest increase since September of 2021; this is a more favorable bundle of data than most analysts were predicting, even at their most optimistic, and it's generally assumed that this means the Fed will keep interest rates steady at their next meeting in December.—BloombergOne Sentence News is a reader-supported publication. To support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Exxon to begin producing lithium to feed surging battery demandSummary: In what's being seen as a substantial strategic pivot, ExxonMobil has announced that it will begin producing lithium for the burgeoning electric vehicle market from underground sources in Arkansas beginning in 2027.Context: Many oil majors have gestured at getting involved in renewable energy infrastructure over the past handful of years, but this effort—unlike investments in carbon capture technologies and hydrogen—is not dual-use with their existing fossil fuel business, which suggests Exxon may be starting to map out, in earnest, a segue toward renewables, hoping to scoop up valuable assets before other energy companies can do so; that said, this follows another massive investment by Exxon in Pioneer Natural Resources, which is a huge, Texas-based oil producer, so while this is a foot in the EV-market door for the company, it's far from a wholesale shift in focus.—Financial TimesChrysler parent Stellantis prepares to offer buyouts to US salaried workersSummary: The parent company of automotive brands like Chrysler, Jeep, Ram, and Dodge is reportedly offering buyouts to about half of its US-based white-collar employees as part of an effort to cut its expenses as its recalibrates toward an EV-focused future.Context: This marks the second round of buyouts the company has offered this year, and it's expected to encompass around 6,400 nonunion workers with at least five years of experience; other US car companies like GM and Ford have also cut their ranks of salaried employees over the past year, and these cost-cutting efforts are being seen as a response to higher costs associated with EV R&D and battery manufacturing, alongside concerns about higher factory worker costs and the potential for an economic downswing that could truncate sales.—The Wall Street JournalMore than 40,000 US military personnel are based throughout the Middle East, and that number is expected to increase as the potential for a wider conflict (originating with the conflict between Israel and Hamas) increases.—Axios100 millionNumber of trees the Kenyan government is hoping its citizens will plant during a new state holiday.The government is freely distributing about 150 million seedlings via public nurseries to encourage said planting on public lands, and it has said it hopes citizens will also buy at least two seedlings apiece to plant on their own property.This is part of a larger effort by the Kenyan government to plant 15 billion trees over the next decade in order to ameliorate the impacts of climate change, and reforest deforested parts of the country.—BBC NewsTrust Click Get full access to One Sentence News at onesentencenews.substack.com/subscribe

In October two US oil and gas giants announced massive deals: Chevron bought Hess, and ExxonMobil acquired Pioneer Natural Resources. These deals expand each company's operations and secure their access to more oil for decades to come. But recent forecasts say global demand for fossil fuels will soon reach its peak. The FT's Myles McCormick looks at why these companies are betting oil demand will stick around and whether that bet will pay off.

There's a mood of consolidation in the air in the US oil industry - earlier this month Exxon Mobil, the largest American oil-producer, bought oil-explorer Pioneer Natural Resources for $59.5bn. Now Chevron has announced its buying its main rival Hess for $53bn. The oil industry last went through an era of major consolidation in the late 1990s, following a collapse in oil prices. That's not the case now. Today, the majors are sitting on piles of cash.

On today's Climate News Weekly episode, James Lawler, Julio Friedmann, and Dina Cappiello discuss Tesla's new prices for their electric vehicles, Exxon's massive purchase of rival Pioneer Natural Resources for $60 billion, the announcement of 7 new hydrogen hubs by the White House, and the latest on the EU's progress towards their climate goals.Follow us on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.Contact us at contact@climatenow.comVisit our website for all of our content and sources for each episode.
