Biden admin increasing US NG production

[DaaQ]

How many people you know work in the oil patch up here? Pika oil field got shut down ... that would have employed up to 2000 hands this winter, ANWR got shut down which means all those drillers who were scheduled to drill there this winter (we only drill here in the winter months) are out of a job which means hundreds of hands and when that field goes into development it means thousands of jobs .. but thanks to Biden it won't be developed anytime soon.

Cause I have, and I am local to the area that employs me. Thankfully it takes too long to replace me, so I am somewhat insulated, somewhat.

 

[Why_Me]

You ever thought your EMPLOYERS were lying to you? Seriously.

The oil industry in Alaska is our lifeblood. When an oilfield is shut down up here the news spreads across one end of the field to the other within a few hours. I've worked in this industry for decades now and yes I did provide links so that post of yours in the quote is bizzare to say the least

Meanwhile ask @alien42 for a link. Seriously do you people even read the news?

Biden Cancels Keystone XL, Halts Drilling in Arctic Refuge on Day One, Signaling a Larger Shift Away From Fossil Fuels - Inside Climate News

American efforts to curb climate change have long avoided measures that would rein in the production of oil and gas, instead relying on reducing consumption of fossil fuels in power plants and automobiles. This dichotomy allowed the nation to catapult into place as the world’s top oil and gas...

The first link is regarding new oil and gas leases, not existing leases.

The second link is about a Federal judge halting a lease auction the Biden admin was going to have. Seriously, do you even read what you post?

The third link is about a pipeline being cancelled, not production.

In other words when I said the Biden admin hasn't shut down any existing production, I was correct and your response was a lie

 

[alien42]

I work in the oil industry and he's shut down entire oil fields here in Alaska along with new drilling on Federal lands not to mention he's killed off two major pipelines. Try again.

This is a lie as my previous post shows.

Short term I support doing this. Putin is jacking the EU around on NG right now, threatening to limit NG to them if they don't pay in Rubles, because he's trying to prop up the Ruble. The EU has said no, so in theory Russia will start decreasing NG sales to them end of April or early May. They could be facing serious energy rationing.

EU needs to be able to thumb their nose at Russian NG, which will put the final nail in their coffin economically. But renewables won't be sufficiently ramped up to do that for at least 10 years, even at an accelerated pace. So in the meantime, they have to get NG elsewhere.

Interest in green hydrogen and ammonia projects has gone through the roof, especially in Europe. Industrial users are especially dependent on cheap gas are moving. LNG is expensive to they're not going to want to be on it forever but do need a bridge. Overall gas usage destined to crater.

No you don't. And no he didn't.

He maintained the no new drilling bit, which is, in no way, the same as shutting down production.

I read somewhere that if EU adds green energy capacity at double the rate they've been adding it for the past 3 years, it will take 10 years to be off Russian NG. And Russian NG is only 40% of the NG they use. So if they can do it at 3x or 4x the rate, that would be much better.

Adding more LNG ports should help as well. Poland had a large one that was going to be built, but got delayed. Not sure where that is at. It's expensive, but some NG will still be needed 10 years from now anyway, for industrial usage - so it's not like all that infrastructure will go into a black hole.

A ton of new ships are moving to LNG instead of heavy bunker oil, too.

The strategy to get rid of RU gas has a few prongs: 1) LNG imports 3) hydrogen/ammonia capacity (fueled by huge renewable growth) 3) switch home heating to heat pumps from gas.

I HOPE the suppliers covering the energy EU needs to make up the difference from RU imports don’t gouge on price.

It's set by supply and demand since US isn't the only supplier of LNG. But I suspect it will still be a lot more expensive since it needs to be sent by ship instead of pipes which are already sunk cost. I wonder how well European chemical industry can compete globally with structurally higher input costs than US competitors, and China which might get Russian gas at a steep discount.

That would be good news. LNG is hugely less polluting than bunker oil and produces less CO2 per unit of energy than oil.

Pipeline capacity from Russia to China is quite limited. Most of the their fields are set up exclusively for export to Europe. It’s not going to easy or cheap to reorient for China. Doable long term but not in the next few years.

Ammonia is also increasingly hot for shipping lines.

It's a major source of pollution around Long Beach, CA. (bunker oil)

Now they should be running diesel or scrubbers within 200 miles of the US. Still get a lot of pollution, but not the sulphur at least.

I think I read the UK is looking to fast track 7 new nuclear power plants—nuclear is also back on the table for a number of EU countries. Good.

Britain could build seven nuclear power stations, minister says

Britain could build up to seven new nuclear power stations as part of a radical expansion of homegrown energy following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng told The Sunday Telegraph.

Can we send Russia’s warheads up there too while we’re at it? Kal-El??

Or US stop being an ass and build reprocessing plant?

EU, Japan and Fucking Russia reprocesses, why not USA?
