This is the future everywhere, leaving clean up to the public if we let it. Yet, all of the current and original owners are traceable. Millionaires and billionaires available to fund this work if their corporations have gone bankrupt. It is long overdue for the polluter to pay. Start collecting deposits and restoration plans for 2050! Priorities and plans based on air, water, land, and biodiversity requirements to meet the Paris agreement. This is not an emissions problem it is an ecological collapse problem and there is no question as to who or what is responsible. This means you: Greg Abbott Danielle Smith Michelle Lujan Grisham Kevin Stitt Mike Dunleavy Jared Polis Doug Burgum Gavin Newsom David Eby Scott Moe Spencer Cox Mark Gordon Greg Gianforte State of Kansas Office of Governor Jeff Landry Mike DeWine State of Arkansas Phil Bryant State of Illinois State of West Virginia Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Gretchen Whitmer Glenn Youngkin State of Tennessee Andrew Cuomo Doug Ducey Nevada Governor's Office of Energy Brad Little Government of Newfoundland and Labrador The time is now, your kids are watching.

Winter Strikes Again! From the Permian to the Williston, the season has bare-knuckled down to wreak January havoc on wells, gas flows, LNG exports, processing plants, gathering systems, and refineries. Over the last week, the Arctic brute has gone so far as to send natural gas demand into satellite space, jolting gas prices with a temporary spike while taking 10 MMbbls of crude off the market. Reese Energy Consulting today is following the latest news from the deep freeze this month, walloping two of the nation’s largest oil and gas basins. With below-zero lows in 11 out of 19 days, Midland, Texas, took one to the solar plexus with temps that froze water at wellheads, forced shut-ins, and paralyzed vacuum trucks from hauling off wastewater due to icy roads. Permian pipelines flowing gas bound for Gulf Coast LNG export terminals said, “I don’t think so, bro,” sending volumes instead to domestic markets. The Permian accounts for a loss of 6 MMbbls this month. But never fear, Texas is well into recovery mode with a forecast high of 61º come Thursday. Recovery in the N.D., Bakken, however, is a whole other kettle of Northern Pike where it’s colder than a well-digger’s arse in the Klondike. Here, shut-in output is already close to 3.5 MMbbls in January and expected to rise. Production has literally been cut in half after reporting 1.3 MMBPD in November. Weather forecast for Thursday? A near tropical 28º. God speed, folks. What do you think? Learn more about REC and our crude oil and natural gas consulting services at https://lnkd.in/ewhkGFa.

The 2024 Texas Railroad Commission race is fundamentally about groundwater - the fact that we didn’t construct let alone plug wells worth a damn over the last half century was bad enough but coupled with the over injection of toxic radioactive isotope laden produced water now spilling out of its reserviors is permanently destroying our groundwater. That’s a fact. San Antonio in Bexar County has 13,600 oil and gas wells drilled of which 11,200 are supposedly plugged. Yeah right. Houston is even worse - 15,500 wells and 15,200 plugged. I guarantee you that at least 50% couldn’t pass a pressure test and I wouldn’t be surprised to see active gas and oil in at least 15% of them. If each well only cost $50,000 to dig up, rehead, and test, we’re at $760,00,000 to Houston alone. We’ve got to address our legacy and costs to monitor, manage, and maintain access to these wells for the centuries to come. It’s time to rethink what plugged and abandoned really means.

They do this because they can with little or no consequences. Methane traps 80X the heat that CO2 traps, it's easy to fix this problem (but slightly more than being able to pollute for free), they just can't be bothered. They only care about profits. They don't care about the extra heat this methane will trap and they don't care if the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are harmful to health. These kind of polluting facilities are usually surrounded by communities of color, but choosing to pollute black and brown children does not seem to bother them. If this makes you mad like it does me, channel that appropriate anger into action. Call your US and local elected officials and ask them to put a stop to this reckless polluting. Our children matter more than their profits. This is an easy fix. We don't get to throw our trash into our neighbors' yards just because we don't want to responsibly dispose of it. Hold the fossil fuel industry accountable. Stop trashing our planet. Health effects: "Methane–a powerful greenhouse gas–is nearly always emitted alongside heath-damaging air pollutants (HDAPs). Exposure to even small amounts of these HDAPs can cause premature birth, asthma, cancer, and other adverse health impacts." -Harvard T.H.

Methane (aka natural gas) is a significant contributor to climate change - 80 times more powerful than CO2. So, how can any responsible O&G company think freely venting to the atmosphere is ok? The fines are too low and not enforced. Chevron #methane #climatechange

Shale drillers in the Permian Basin are facing a ban on the long held practice of disposing of the salty water that spews out of oil wells alongside crude oil by injecting it back into the ground. The ban takes effect Jan. 12 and will result in increased pressure for water treatment and reuse instead of water disposal. Avivid's breakthrough electrocoagulation treatment can turn fracking wastewater into water that can be reused or released back into the environment.

What is Hydraulic Fracturing? Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a way to get oil and natural gas from deep underground rocks. It's like making pathways for the oil and gas to flow out by cracking the rocks.
