- The CEO of Houston energy-focused investment bank Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co. says it’s not time to panic as investors flee the oil and gas space, but structural change is inevitable to adapt to the new marketplace.
- Operators are drilling what they call “a bigger, better Codell” in Wyoming.
- While a groundswell rises worldwide to replace hydrocarbons with renewable energies—and sooner rather than later—do physical realities support such a revolutionary change to energy domains? The short answer is no.
