TXOGA President Todd Staples Statement on the Passing of President George H.W. Bush: “I join all Texans and Americans in mourning the loss of President George Herbert Walker Bush. He leaves behind a legacy that is felt in all corners of the world, and noticeably so in the Texas oil and natural gas industry because of his decision to leave the Northeast in 1948 and move his young family to Texas to launch a career in the oil business. He was a pioneer in the industry, one of the first to explore offshore drilling. As the President of Zapata Off-shore Co., he was a member of the Texas Oil & Gas Association, and we are grateful for his contribution to our mission. President Bush was a remarkable man, husband, father, businessman, mentor, role model, public servant and World War II hero whose impact will always be felt across the world, the United States, Texas, and the Texas oil and natural gas industry.”

Texas Oil and Gas Association

The United States could become a net exporter of petroleum in less than five years, the first time the country would achieve such a feat since at least 1949, according to a new report. The shift from importer to exporter is driven by the surge in U.S. oil production that has followed the unlocking of crude reserves from shale formations, according to the report by the research firm IHS Markit. U.S. oil production grew to 9.4 million barrels a day in 2017. Since then production has only accelerated: the Energy Department last week estimated that U.S. output has reached 11.7 million barrels a day.

Texas Oil and Gas Association

Natural gas is responsible for about one-third of all U.S. electricity now and that should grow to about 50 percent by 2040, according to the IHS Markit report. "Calling shale gas anything but a veritable revolution is a big understatement," said Dan Yergin, IHS Markit vice chairman and the report's co-author. Of course, the shale oil surge wouldn't have happened without the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing techniques … The record shale oil production is only amplifying the natural gas statistics because there's a lot of associated natural gas found in many of the oil wells in West Texas' Permian Basin and other regions. That's largely why Texas leads the nation in natural gas production as well as oil.

On Tuesday morning, the industry-backed activist group, Texans for Natural Gas, launched a social media campaign attacking the California-based company, Patagonia, for what a spokesman described as its "hypocritical stance on fracking." The campaign includes a meme with a picture of empty shelves with the caption, "Patagonia introduces new petroleum-free product line" and an article listing, "Nine Reasons Why Patagonia Secretly Loves Fracking." "Patagonia has every right to sell its petroleum-based products for whatever price it wants. But there's nothing principled about opposing fracking when your entire business model depends on fossil fuels," Steve Everly, a spokesman for Texans for Natural Gas, said in an email.

Our crude oil imports are down 20% from 2006 and last month, our crude oil exports were more than double the average in January 2017.

Texas Oil and Gas Association

For the first time in nearly 50 years, United States crude oil production hit 10 million barrels a day, according to newly-released data from U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Nearly 40% of nation’s crude oil produced in November came from Texas, which leads the nation in oil and natural gas production, according to the EIA report. Soaring production, especially in West Texas’ Permian Basin, is driving massive investment in pipelines, other energy-related infrastructure and petrochemical manufacturing along the Texas Gulf Coast, according to Staples. “Texans are unrelenting competitors and remarkable resiliency has enabled the United States to be among the world’s leading crude oil producers,” said TXOGA President Todd Staples. “Crossing the 10 million barrel per day threshold is another reminder of the importance of the oil and natural gas industry in securing our economy, our environment and our future.” Read more about this impressive achievement here: https://www.txoga.org/release-united-states-crude-oil-production-hits-10-million-barrels-day/

Members of Houston’s energy industry jumped into action to help those in need after Hurricane Harvey created widespread destruction. With the hurricane delivering more rain than anticipated, Caleb, a Project Specialist for Buckeye Partners, L.P. knew that he had to help those in his community. Through the use of an old military Humvee and a two ton truck, Caleb and a few others were able to help not only evacuate neighbors, but deliver supplies to those in need and access areas local emergency response crews could not.

Beyond the industry's direct response, many unsung heroes from the energy sector stepped up to help their fellow Texans. Their stories, like so many who assisted in Hurricane Harvey relief efforts, are humbling and inspiring. These heroes dug deep to do right by their neighbors. Likewise, the oil and natural gas industry is committed to doing right by critically analyzing all that happened during this storm and making even better its plans, procedures and working relationships with state and federal agencies. Anchored by brave and dedicated men and women, the oil and natural gas industry rebounded from Hurricane Harvey with remarkable speed. As Texans rebuild, we will continue our post-storm evaluation and collaboration with our public- and private-sector partners. Adversity, though unwelcomed and uninvited, often highlights the hard-working perseverance that defines our state.

Texas Oil and Gas Association

Todd Staples, president of the Texas Oil & Natural Gas Association, said the state of Texas is still recovering from Hurricane Harvey — and that includes the oil and gas industry. Referring to a report recently published by the Texas Oil & Natural Gas Association, Staples said, total capital expenditures for the Permian Basin are expected to increase by 400 percent over the next five years — from $8 billion last year to more than $40 billion in 2021. Already, he said, half of the active onshore oil rigs in the United States are operating in the Permian Basin. “I think most people understand that tanks and tractors run on diesel, and that our food security and national security is truly dependent on oil and gas,” he said.

Anti-energy groups are increasingly targeting pipeline projects, spreading misinformation to incite citizens and elected officials, “yet the average man on the street is oblivious to the fact that the sign he is holding was made from petroleum products, not to mention the fact that he drove his car to get there”. There is approximately 2 million miles of pipelines in the country, more than 99 percent are safe and effective. Unlike barges and trains, pipelines do not release emissions. They are the safest lifeline to supply oil and gas, and ultimately energy, to all areas of the country. The failure to permit and construct new pipeline infrastructure and the inability to obtain permits and approvals for coal, natural gas, nuclear and petroleum-fired electricity generation power to maintain the nation’s existing power generation would create a shortfall of one-third of the electricity generation needs from the overall U.S. electricity market by 2030. To put that into perspective, a total of 12 states – California, Florida, Illinois, Ohio, New York, Texas and all of New England – would be in a permanent blackout. “If you follow the logical path of halting pipeline construction, you are actually hurting the people who can least afford to pay higher amounts for electricity, as prices would obviously significantly increase”.

As Hurricane Harvey dissipates, refineries and terminals are assessing the damage that may have occurred due to the storm. While typical supply patterns may be disrupted, operators continue to work with local, state and federal officials to obtain necessary regulatory approvals and identify alternative routes to mitigate those disruptions. The fuel distribution system in Texas and across the nation is very large and individual companies are directing all resources to safely re-engage the necessary infrastructure to work through the challenging circumstances.

Texas Oil and Gas Association

The construction of oil and natural gas wells includes many safeguards to protect underground freshwater supplies. Texas law requires that wells be constructed with multiple layers of industrial-grade steel casing (pipe), which is surrounded by cement. The steel casing and cementing process may be repeated as the well deepens. These regulations are working to protect groundwater. Studies from Yale University and Colorado State University concluded that well completions are not causing water contamination.

David Ludlam, West Slope Colorado Oil & Gas Association in Houston Chronicle: "Natural gas is the world's more diverse and adaptable source of energy. It can and should be used to create electricity. But it also possesses an almost infinite number of other societally valuable end-uses; few energy sources can make this claim. Let us as a society take the exit ramp driving away from conversations that opaquely hide extreme agendas and limit our understanding about what natural gas is actually used for and why these uses matter to humanity."
