How Low Could Crude Prices Go—Or Will They Fall at All?

April 28, 2025 by PBOG

President Trump is calling on OPEC to increase U.S. crude production, which could easily push crude prices lower into this second quarter of 2025, as supply would likely then outpace demand. Just how low could prices go—or will they fall at all? The answer depends on a confluence of factors, as supply is just one part […]

Pounding the Table on PR and CTRA

April 24, 2025 by PBOG

Volatility at the start of the Trump Administration might present the last chance to buy Delaware Basin oil and gas stocks on the cheap, in my opinion. The recent goal of maximizing oil production over gas production seems to be flipping and the investing public is not quite in emotional chase mode yet. That gives […]

The Permian Basin in 2025

January 23, 2025 by PBOG

Basin

This month, with the New Year just beginning, I’d like to take a brief look at things to expect in Permian developments for 2025. With political changes, there is a lot of anticipation that “drill, baby, drill” will make material impacts in oil and gas production. I think the impact will be minimal on production […]

Conventional Thinking, Efficiency Mindedness, Record-Breaking Outputs, and the “Value” of Political Prattle

October 31, 2024 by PBOG

Sentimental?  No, not nearly. Exxon got the Pioneer deal done with the worst government requirements ever announced. It is now starting to reorganize its holdings. What that means is the legacy part of Pioneer, the conventional drilling that put them on the map appears to be going away. Exxon announced the pending sale of up […]

Carbon Capture as an Investment Play

October 24, 2024 by PBOG

In recent articles I discussed some bullish oil and gas investment ideas in the Permian. Energy though, as you well know, is in a massive transition period.   Over the next decade, three things will happen that are not in much doubt anymore.   U.S. onshore oil production in the Lower 48 will peak and […]

Consolidation and asset rationalization continue to change the landscape in the Permian Basin. Among the winners is Permian Resources (PR), which just bought nearly 30k net acres in the Delaware Basin from Occidental Petroleum (OXY) for $817.5 million or just over $27k per acre. Occidental was looking to sell assets in order to pay down […]

Freedom From OPEC Starts by Investing in the Permian

July 18, 2024 by PBOG

OPEC

Freedom from OPEC has been high on the American agenda for 23 years now. The Permian Basin is at the heart of the mission to secure American energy security. As an investor, I look for unique value propositions. The Permian, as the last significantly growing U.S. oil basin, is overlooked and underappreciated by most investors. […]

Overtime and Bonus Pay for Nonexempt Employees

May 9, 2024 by PBOG

Several years ago, I wrote on this topic of overtime and bonus pay for nonexempt employees, and I continue to have clients ask about these matters. This is super easy to understand if employers will take the time to review the Department of Labor’s (DOL) webpage, review the easy-to-read Fact Sheets, listen to your Human […]
