Hamm: Deregulation won’t fix oil’s geological limits
America's oil boom is hitting a geological ceiling, according to Continental Resources Executive Chairman Harold Hamm, who predicts only modest oil production increases of 1-2 million barrels per day over the next five to six years, driven primarily by the Permian Basin.

I'd like to add to Mr. Hamm's very accurate and timely comment that federal regulations have little to do with the production of onshore oil and gas. And importantly for voters to know, the price of gasoline and diesel. The petro-states regulate exploration and production within their boundaries not the federal government. The federal government regulates green house gas emissions. And deep water exploration and production in federal waters.
Unfortunately for Haynesville Shale royalty owners, as Permian oil wells age, they get gassier. There may be less oil produced in the Permian in the future but there will still be vast quantities of associated gas coming to the Gulf Coast and depressing the price of Haynesvlle gas.
Shale drilling and lithium extraction are seemingly distinct activities, but there is a growing connection between the two as the world moves towards cleaner energy solutions. While shale drilling primarily targets…

After all, we want the farm to remain a place where the family can gather for another 80 years and beyond. This site was born out of these desires. Before we started this site, googling "shale' brought up little information. Certainly nothing that was useful as we negotiated a lease. Read More |
