$7/gallon gas is coming

Im sure berating, SPR releases to being down the price of oil and financially penalizing oil and gas companies will get them all to invest dollars to increase production. Oil supply right now is in structural deficit and it needs long term solutions.

Watching supposedly smart people consistently make the wrong move is an odd experience.

For what it is worth, a few investment banks revised their predictions for 2022 oil prices down but revised them up for 2023 and 2024.

It's been an issue for years. Oil and gas companies will take out as many leases as they can and just sit on them trying to time markets, often waiting years. It shuts out smaller, more aggressive competitors.

No, Joe, their reluctance to drill more and produce more ISN'T because they don't want the price of oil to come down.
Their reluctance to drill is YOUR fault. You have sent the message to them that what they produce is not welcomed in this country. Why would they produce more when you continue to fund green energy efforts AT THEIR EXPENSE? Why would they produce more when you have continued to tell them you are going to put them out of business?

And, Americans are not buying the "Putin's price hike" narrative. They know the price of gas was increasing well before the war in Russia started.

And, regarding the Strategic Reserve.....

The strategic reserve is strategic for a reason.
This is not a reason to tap it.

That's a lovely rant and it does encapsulate the prevailing mentality of many in the industry but forgive me for being blunt, it's complete bull from top to bottom. Bunch of freaking snowflakes.

That being said. Biden's bit about the industry being greedy today was also bull.

This is honestly it right here. The guys I know who work in O&G (mostly on the finance/investment side) are some of the biggest whiny, entitled snowflakes you've ever met. Rich dudes who always get their way and utterly HATE anything to do with clean energy, cleaning up the environment, emissions standards, etc. Despite living in some really nice places governed by Democrats where they get to enjoy clean air and water. It's maddening.

That said, there is a very real structural tension between future investments in fossil fuels and the transition to clean energy. A lot of the capital investments operate on a 10 year (new wells) to 30 year (new LNG transport depots) time horizon. But if, say, 50% of US vehicles are electric in the next 15 years, will you have enough time at the right prices levels to recoup your investment?

It's not an easy answer. Further, any sane American should be loathe to provide more subsidies to this industry filled with filthy rich individuals who are already greatly privileged by the tax code. I actually think the Use-or-Lose policy is a really good idea.

Tell me you don’t know anything about oil and gas investing without telling me….

Epicenter of oil and gas investing is Houston.

Everybody saw what happened to coal (whether that was right or wrong). Please tell me how you’re going to get people to make 30 year investments when they all know you only want them for the next 6 months?

Do you even understand how the buying and selling of oil and gas works?

If companies PURCHASED their supply of gas two or three weeks ago..... do you think they are going to sell that at today's market price, or at the price at which they purchased it?

One more thing.....
That drop in price is very temporary based on the announcement of release from SPR.
Once we see that the release will do nothing for actual supply, the price will go up. I would bet my salary on that.

Yeah right! Like we don’t all notice that they raise prices instantly whenever bad news or the wind blows from the west etc.

If you were right then there would be a lag when global oil prices increase yet we all know there is no such lag because there is $$ to be made!

All you guys have are lie, lies and more lies.

The war in Ukraine will end. Putin will gain territory and then we will lift oil sanctions and all sing Kumbaya and enjoy lower gas prices.

Then you should be paying attention to what's happening in China. The Shenzen and Shanghai shutdowns are huge. Plus China, when they come back, is going to be able to buy, like India, a lot of below market Russian supply. And then there is the Fed. The demand side of the equation is changing.

🤑 At $100 a barrel a shale well can break even quickly. Meanwhile LNG isn't going away. In fact global supply, along with export capacity, will explode higher in the medium term. 4 new export terminals are already under construction in the US. 14 (+2 in Mexico/Canada) new ones have been approved and 6 more proposed.

The expansion is happening already. It just takes time.
