T•••• ☠️👉 US OilCo’s like he did to US WarCo’s
Fact remains, the world minus US has transitioned away from gasoline. OilCo’s are reducing capacity and doing little new exploration. They are not daft! They will keep supply tight by closing more refineries. Prices will not go down. Electricity perversely will go up due to demand (EVs & data center

No he’s not. The US OilCo’s have invested $$B’s into Canadian oil, away from Venezuela. They aren’t going back there to that quagmire unless it’s to make sure their Canadian investments don’t get devalued. He’s just speaking to the “don’t know” folks who react like lemmings to calm them TF down.

Plus it's what oilCo's want.
But none of that matters, because the factors driving decarbonization are unrelated, ~95% of ALL new generation capacity, worldwide, is renewables now. Why? Because they're cheaper.
EVs will win against gasmobiles because they're better cars and more convenient.

Of course, he had to take a swipe at JT: "Wiped out 41% of the average Cdn's net worth."

So lemme get this straight: Trump is commandeering CEO's of ME National Oilco's to ignore the risk of tankers blown up while his own navy says its too dangerous to do anything ?
Q: “Are you encouraging oil company CEOs to use the Strait of Hormuz?”
Trump: “I think they should. I think they should use the Strait. Look, we took out just about all of their mine ships. We’re up to boat number 60, I didn’t realize they had that big of a Navy.”

LOL Yeah we all remember how that went last time. Not that I care for US Oilco's getting robbed and CEO's thrown out of windows.
Putin signed a decree today that could allow foreign investors, including Exxon Mobil, to regain shares in the Sakhalin-1 oil and gas project. Exxon previously held a 30% operator share in the lucrative Sakhalin-1 project, and is the only non-Russian investor to have quit its stake.

It would be ultra-ironical if all these oilco's are caught between the devil and the deep sea: invest too little and egg-laying goose starves, invest more, you lose shareholders. With peak-demand nearing...interesting times !

Not crim costs (£X00). Civil costs, the oilco's costs (£X00000).

The field has been built at a time when costs were an allowable claim against the oilco's rfCT 30%, SC 10%, EPL 38%.
So the UK taxpayer has funded the majority of the construction, paid out to mostly overseas workers.
If it doesn't get licenced, UK taxpayer will mostly fund decommissioning it.
