Shale giants proving OPEC right: Bloomberg via Rigzone. Headline quite misleading. But then again, it's a Bloomberg story. 

Shell game: going green? Not so fast. Shell's sprawling and secretive oil-trading unit almost doubled profitability year-over-year. Shell disclosed this data for the first time ever. One has to ask why? Why now? I think the answer is obvious.

Hike in federal onshore royalty rate
: over at Rigzone

  • from 12.5% to 18.75%
  • would match the offshore rate
  • like everyone else, the greenies may not like oil but they love the royalties;

Got oil? New Mexico not so green after all; seeks exemption from president that bans leasing on federal land. Not news. Sorry. Not sorry. Link here

Gasoline: fundamental set-up for summer gasoline is the most bulliish nearly a decade. Link here.

RBN Energy: the economics and potential benefits of compressed natural gas.

ESG is quickly becoming one of the most frequently used acronyms in energy-company Zoom calls and quarterly earnings calls, joining the ranks of oldies-but-goodies like WTI, Bcf, and NGLs. Everyone — including investors — is pushing hydrocarbon producers, midstreamers, and end-users to improve their “environmental, social, and governance” performance nowadays. It’s not always easy, though, especially when the greener, pro-planet thing to do is a lot more expensive.

The good news is that there are at least a few potential win-win opportunities out there where companies can both reduce their carbon footprint and save money. In today’s blog we’ll discuss why, in some situations, CNG makes sense as a clean fuel for use as a potential replacement for diesel, propane, and fuel oil in a wide range of energy, mining, forestry, and utility settings.
