Thoughts..Opinions,,Comments on Trump's Implementation of "Drill Baby Drill"

I welcome all thoughts insights. Just be logical and kind..

Part of Trump's new 2025 agenda is to reopen drilling in the US, Hopefully activity will come back to our area in Ohio.

I was told and read that if activity would come back it would be in about two (2) years. Part of this would be due to financing,

acquiring investors, lining up drilling companies, vendors such as trucking, piping etc. Most of this was available to our

area years ago but now mostly non existent.

I figured that someone must have some insight as I have received (4) offers in the past 8 months to buy my property.

Before that all offers were for timber only.

Would like to hear from anyone who has an idea of what we may or may not see down the road for the Ashtabula area.

Thx

There appears to be an increase of new lease agreements being signed in the Bradford County PA area (Repsol, Chesapeake and Rally Point). I know you are in Ohio but I thought this might be of interest. We also have had a lot of offers to sell our land (all of a sudden) which may be a signal of what might be coming!

My only concern is that we may create an oil glut, forcing prices down.  The result would be a bunch of wells choked back or, more likely, becoming DUC's.  Producers don't want to give away their product.  Having said that, I am 100% behind Mr. Trump and his commitment to the industry

The boom and bust cycle of the oil and gas industry! We need more LNG shipments.

I'd rather see more natural gas from the Appalachian area, private royalty owners, for the most part, than on federal land, mostly oil leases with associated natural gas, which will drive down the price of NG even more.

The LNG industry can, by itself, turn around and support the price of nat gas.  Problem is the freaking government keeps trying to curtail it, placing a "temporary pause" on approvals for LNG export permits.  Biden recently changed his position here but is slow walking it.  DJT will fix it surely.  For the first time in my life I am bullish on nat gas because of LNG and the AI demand

Very good points. Reason to be optimistic! Thank you for your articles, very informative.

I suspect activity will continue around the same pace.  Most of it is dictated by commodity prices so unless natural gas demand goes way up, I don't foresee a huge increase in activity.  Every time development and production takes off in this region, things are down again in a few years because an oversupply was created.  Catch 22.

A big part of the problem seems to be lack of infrastructure (pipelines) to get the products to market.  Trump will try to loosen some regulations that might make production cheaper and pipeline development easier, perhaps LNG exports easier as well, but pipeline development is a long process, and that's ultimately how product in this area needs to get to larger markets (where it could also be worth more $).

Trump has to throw the oil and gas industry a bone after they supported him, but I don't think it's going to do a lot for landowners in the marcellus/utica, and he doesn't really care about the landowners anyway, just the companies with $$$.  If you think that's wrong, what happened during his last administration?  Not a heyday for o&g - much blame goes to covid for that one, but it wasn't like things were incredible for o&g before covid.

I would like to see activity increase - so I am not trying to be negative, just realistic.  My 2c.
