President Donald Trump will visit an oil rig in the Permian Basin this afternoon and is expected to discuss<\/a> how smart regulations, permit streamlining and private investment in energy infrastructure has helped fuel America\u2019s energy revolution. If you\u2019re planning on covering the trip today, I\u2019ve put together a brief primer to help provide additional context that covers the environmental impact of permit streamlining, private investments in oil and gas development, and the benefits of natural gas and oil production for Texans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Environmental Impact Of Permit Streamlining<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Methane emissions relative to production fell by nearly 45%<\/a> in the Permian Basin even as natural gas production skyrocketed 170% from 2011 to 2018. And the recently streamlined permitting process could help further reduce methane emissions relative to production in the Permian. As the Department of Energy notes in its \u2018Texas Natural Gas Flaring\u2019 fact sheet<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIncreases in domestic oil and natural gas production have resulted in significant infrastructure buildouts, however, natural gas pipeline capacity constraints have led to regional increases in the flaring of associated gas in some unconventional plays (e.g., Permian Basin in Texas\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developing additional pipeline infrastructure could help reduce flaring in Texas, decreasing methane emissions while also enabling producers to sell the natural gas they otherwise would have flared, generating tax and royalty revenue for the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the DOE notes in its fact sheet, \u201cThe RRC reports that operators make [flaring] extension requests most often when they are awaiting completion of pipeline construction.\u201d In other words, quicker pipeline construction should mean less flaring extensions, and that would mean less methane emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, as the AP noted today<\/a> in its coverage previewing the president\u2019s trip:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrank Macchiarola, the trade group\u2019s senior vice president for policy, said emission rates in the Permian Basin have fallen despite what had been the surge in production. It \u2018demonstrates how the industry is meeting this challenge and strengthening its environmental performance,\u2019 Macchiarola said.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Private Investments In Oil And Gas Development<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019, major oil companies were reported to have invested<\/a> more than $10 billion in the Permian Basin alone. Nationwide, the U.S. natural gas and oil industry is in the process of constructing around $344 billion<\/a> in new capital projects according to pre-COVID-19 API estimates, and potential investments in energy-related projects have been estimated at more than $1 trillion<\/a> over the next 15 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Private investment along with technological innovation has helped spur America\u2019s energy revolution, enabling the Permian Basin to produce more oil than the Ghawar in Saudi Arabia, the Saudi\u2019s largest field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"1113081080914067457\"\/<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>In fact, this one production basin alone generates more oil<\/a> than all of OPEC\u2019s 13 member countries except Saudi Arabia and Iraq.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Certainly, some natural gas and oil companies \u2013 like many other industries currently \u2013 are confronting the financial uncertainties of a pandemic-induced economic downturn, however, major oil companies \u201cwill continue to invest<\/a> during the down cycle, especially those with long-term projects such as deep-water drilling in the Gulf of Mexico where the payout period is typically decades instead of a few years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Benefits Of Natural Gas And Oil Production For Texans<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Texas Oil and Gas Association reported that<\/a> in 2019, the industry directly employed 428,234 Texans, and industry employers in Texas payed an average of $125,248 per job \u2013 more than double the average of other private sectors. And it\u2019s not just industry employees that are benefiting from natural gas and oil production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The natural gas and oil industry in Texas generated $16.3 billion in taxes and state royalties<\/a> in 2019 \u2013 more than $44 million per day. Natural gas and oil companies contributed more than $149 billion in revenues since 2007, which helps fund the state\u2019s education system, build roads, and improve healthcare facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it\u2019s important to note that policy proposals seeking to constrain<\/a> natural gas and oil production could jeopardize these important tax revenue streams for production states like Texas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
