OPINION: Energy at the Crossroads

September 1, 2022 by PBOG

By Jesse Mullins Will ESG win the day and welcome O&G into the Climate Change fold, converting O&G’s leadership into the Green Movement’s biggest cheerleaders? Or is the Energy Transition slipping a gear as the country barrels toward 2024… or 2030… or 2050… or whatever target date means most to the faithful. We opine. The words you […]

Amid the shifting landscape of the oil patch over the last two-plus years, completions have been among the sectors most buffeted by the changes. And frac sand is right in the middle of the storm.

Water’s Place in the Big Scheme of Permian Things

April 11, 2022 by PBOG

by Jesse Mullins MIDLAND, TEXAS—After a two-year hiatus, due to Covid, the Permian Basin Water in Energy Conference, said by some to be the best conference of its kind anywhere, returned to the Horseshoe Arena in this oil town and picked up right where it left off.

Opinion Will 2022 Be the Year of Comeuppance?

January 7, 2022 by PBOG

Oil and gas in the Permian Basin has been put through the shale shaker in this still-new decade of the 2020s. And still, the energy bulls and the ebullient forecasters keep promising that the Big Bounceback is just up ahead. Is that still the case after a 2021 full of commodity price ups and downs? […]

The NGL Factor

June 14, 2021 by PBOG

In Memphis, Elvis is The King. In the Permian Basin, Oil is The King. Oil’s had a long string of hits in West Texas, dating back more than 100 years. Its backup singers, natural gas and natural gas liquids, have their place, but they’ll never be the star of the show. In fact, NGLs are […]
