4 Killer Weather Extremes Creating Problems For Climate Predictors

Four Kinds Of Killer Weather Extremes: An Achilles Heel Problem For Climate Predictors: Globally, the killer quad of weather extremes have not worsened in the last 50 years, even though the oil and gas industry now produces around 50% of global emissions.

To Be Or Not To Be—The New Optimism For Liquefied Natural Gas: Rising LNG exports are expected from the U.S. to China, India, and other emerging economies, as well as global shipping growth and LNG bunkering.

Can The Renewable Goose Lay A Golden Egg In New Mexico: Revenue from renewables won’t replace loss of fossil fuels revenue—not even close. A very serious dilemma may affect public schools, universities, and health care in the state.

Destroying Coal Power Plants In Oil And Gas State—Will Oil Be Next: As more EVs sell, oil demand falls, and oil production slows. But proactive New Mexico planners can follow EV sales, and adjust for the gradual loss in oil revenues.

Why MethaneSAT Is Important For Lowering Emissions From Oil And Gas Fields: Maps of methane leaks will motivate oil and gas cleanup, certify LNG for importing countries, and help the U.S. decide whether to lift the pause on proposed new LNG trains.

Two Bookends For The Reincarnation Of Hydrogen—ExxonMobil And Verdagy: The hope is that new industries or add-ons can scale up to reduce costs of hydrogen and boost demand, perhaps like happened with wind and solar and batteries.

An Unsettling Future For Oil, But A Tossup For Gas And Liquefied Natural Gas: BP says the energy future depends on, first, decarbonization of global power plants, and, second, how rapidly emerging economies can do this.

Advances In Really Deep Hot Geothermal Energy, But Gigantic Gaps Remain: The vision will persist, simply because Superhot Deep Rock offers an unlimited resource spread across the world and within North America.

How Capital Efficiency Is Being Bolstered In Shale Plays In Permian And Haynesville: In a stacked payzone, a drilling cube is the well geometry that leads to the ultimate capital efficiency.

Oil-Rising Permian Spurs Revenue And Climate Dilemma For New Mexico: How does a record $15.2 billion revenue from oil and gas sound for a state with only 2.1 million people? But how does it sound to those worried about climate change?

Did FTC Over-Reach In Prohibiting Scott Sheffield From ExxonMobil’s Board: Is there enough reasonable doubt to reverse the decision by the FTC and remove the personal vilification laid on a CEO who has accomplished much in the Permian oilfield.

Summer Doldrums In Haynesville Gas Production Not Expected To Last: Haynesville’s contribution to the coming uplift in U.S. LNG needs would make it the dominant provider due to its close proximity to the new-build LNG trains.

Oil Going Down While China’s Energy Mix And Emissions Doing A Backflip: China won’t be able to offset U.S. crude oil decline coming from growth of electric vehicles.

What’s Behind The Oil And Gas Attitude Toward Electric Vehicles: This article provides a rationale to compare EVs versus conventional gasoline vehicles, including life-cycle numbers for their GHG emissions.

Can Biden Celebrate Energy Records Achieved In U.S., Both Fossil And Renewables: Record U.S. levels in fossil and renewable energies are impressive, and Houston may become the Silicon Valley of energy, according to Bill Gates.

Unpausing Liquefied Natural Gas Export Permits—An Algorithm The Feds Could Use: Several calculations could be included in an algorithm to decide the critical conditions for unpausing LNG exports.

The Oil And Gas Industry: Could They, Should They, Try To Reach Net-Zero Emissions By 2050?: Oil and gas companies are starting to pivot toward climate change, but how far should they pivot? They could diversify, or they could stay with business as usual and hope for a moonshot solution.
