Understanding the US-China Trade Agreement and its Impact on Energy Markets

On Friday, President Trump announced that he had reached an agreement with Chinese leaders regarding tariffs, a welcomed occurrence to happen this soon after each country saddled the other with horrendous fees. China seemed less enthusiastic, referring to it as a “consensus” instead. Regardless of terminology, many manufacturers and stockholders breathed a sigh of relief. China says it will release a joint statement with the U.S. Monday on what was achieved.Although no details were immediately…See More

Has “Drill Baby, Drill” Become Just Economic Folly?

Shale Executive Bryan Sheffield, son of Scott Sheffield (former President of Pioneer Natural Resources) made sure they was no need for interpretation in his recent remarks. “The industry needs to cut immediately and hunker down to let the tariff war play out”, Sheffield said, as Brent crude hovers below $60/bbl (a 4-year low) and WTI seems stuck at about $3 less. Sheffield reportedly said his Formentera Partners LP would “delay drilling” and shift focus to already established short-term…See More

An Energy Source to Last Millions of Years? Has MIT Solved America’s Long-Term Energy Needs?

MIT spinoff Quaise Energy wants to repurpose coal and gas plants into deep geothermal wells by using X-rays to melt rock. They intend to develop these wells made by creating the deepest holes in the world. The company plans to vaporize rock in an amount to “satisfy human energy consumption for millions of years”.While the process still has a few engineering quirks they need to address, Quaise’s founders are ambitiously planning to begin energy harvest from a pilot well just next year.…See More

Understanding the US/Ukraine Rare-Earth-Minerals Agreement

There has been much discussion lately about a Rare-Earth Minerals Agreement being negotiated between the US and Ukraine. After much discussion, some controversy, and considerable hand-wringing, a Memorandum of Intent was finally signed on Friday and announced by Kiev. The deal is scheduled to be finalized on April 26.Why It’s Necessary…..My belief is no such agreement was even discussed or considered before the election of Donald J. Trump. He was one of many Americans concerned with the growing…See More

OPEC - Coming Soon to a Shale Development Near You

Most people are at least somewhat familiar with OPEC, their members and their purpose. The Organization of Petroleum Countries has been in existence since 1960 and was established to enable the cooperation of leading oil-producing and oil-dependent countries in order to collectively influence the global oil market and to maximize profits. Its first five members, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Venezuela were later joined by 7 other countries to shape what we view as OPEC today. These 12…See More

Finally....Someone Steps Forward to Promote Re-Fracking

Last summer I published an article lamenting the fact that few companies seemed anxious to invest in re-fracking. It seems the technology is available to support it, and the economics certainly make sense, so why is nobody interested in participating? Perhaps that pendulum has swung now, as BKV Corporation is leading the way, reporting with pride that they have now completed almost 400 re-fracks in the Barnett Shale. The results there have been so good that BKV is now evaluating M&A targets…See More

New Energy Source Described as Being "Mind-Blowing"

                                                   New Energy Source Described as Being “Mind-Blowing”There’s been so much news on the energy front recently, I couldn’t decide on this week’s subject. I’ve been off the grid for a month or so dealing with cataract surgery so I’ve compiled quite a list that I find interesting. However, when one is bold enough to not only use the phrase “mind-blowing” but to insert it into the title of the article, it gets my attention. Thanks to Rick Kramer @…See More

This landmark decision was rendered on June 28 in Loper Bright Enterprises vs. Raimodo. Later, on July 1, they held that the statute of limitations to challenge the actions of federal agencies under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) does not begin until a plaintiff actually suffers injury by means of final agency action.Liberals were not pleased.

Can Pennsylvania Save the EV Industry?

                                                                       Can Pennsylvania Save the EV Industry?

First, let’s address the elephant in the room. Fossil fuel-based industries and the products they are used to create are not going away in our lifetimes. Not in our children’s lifetimes. Likely not ever. That is not to say, however, that their use cannot be curtailed. Environmentalists are working 24/7/365 to achieve this and, to a certain degree, are succeeding. This…

Dear, I picked interest on you after going through your page profile and demand it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here on gomarcellusshale.com because it is a public site. Could you please get back to me to my private email contact address ( josephmclaughlin500@gmail.com ) so that we can discuss privately. My regards,
