Trump Signs Executive Orders to Boost Oil, Gas Industry
President Donald Trump arrived in Texas on Wednesday to host election fundraisers in two counties that were pro-Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016. In between the events, he made an appearance at the International Union of Operating Engineers International Training and Education Center in Crosby, Texas, where he signed two executive orders designed to help the oil and gas industry. The orders essentially make it harder for states to block pipelines and other energy projects.
He went on to say energy infrastructure is often stymied by special interest groups, “entrenched bureaucracies and radical activists”. He mentioned the state of Washington and New York specifically, saying “obstruction” on a gas pipeline “does not just hurt families and workers like you, it undermines our independence and national security.”
He told the crowd that “American labor will always have a friend in the White House.” And, while oil production in Texas has reached record highs, he believes more can be done.
The first order:
- Directs the Environmental Protection Agency to update federal guidance on the Clean Water Act
- Aims to legalize rail LNG shipments
- Removes barriers to investing in certain energy projects
- Compels two federal agencies to study and release reports on energy issues in New England and the West Coast
- Accelerates renewals for energy project right of ways
Through the second order, the State Department will be instructed to update the timeline for the permit process for cross-border energy projects to 60 days. Currently, the permitting process for pipelines and electricity transmission lines between the U.S., Canada and Mexico can drag on for years.
During his tenure as president Trump has made energy development a priority, and part of his efforts have included rolling back government regulations. Just last week, Trump issued a new permit for TransCanada Corp.’s Keystone XL pipeline, sidestepping a court decision that shut down a previous authorization by his State Department. The pipeline will carry crude oil from Canada’s oil sands to the U.S. Midwest.
The lack of pipeline expansion and capacity in several key oil producing regions are hurdles that have continued to pose a challenge for oil and gas producers, especially in prolific U.S. shale basins such the Permian. It remains to be seen if Trump’s latest executive orders will go the distance in providing any relief.
The White House’s official press release around the executive orders is posted here.

U.S. super-light oil output rise roils Texas, Oklahoma markets
BOE Report
April 11, 2019
Growing production of Texas super-light oil – and worries about its quality compared with other types of crude – is slowing down deliveries into the main U.S. storage hub in Oklahoma, draining supply there and adding to a glut in Texas.
In the last several months, drillers are producing more oil known as West Texas Light (WTL), a type of crude that differs from what is blended at the Cushing, Oklahoma hub to produce the benchmark U.S. oil grade.
Cushing, which currently has 46 million barrels in storage, is one of the biggest blending markets in the world, where light and heavy crude are mixed to produce that blend, which is deliverable against benchmark U.S. futures .
Pipeline companies have started requiring shippers to separate the super-light oil due to worries that the grade is too light, differing too much from other crude gathered in west Texas. That slowed deliveries in March, since the oil has to be sent in batches, rather than mixed in the line with other crude, and also needs to be stored separately.
Segregated WTL deliveries are rising in April, while flows of other grades from North Dakota and Canada are expected to remain subdued, creating havoc for blenders who combine crude available to create the benchmark blend.
The shortage of the right blend boosted near-term prices at Cushing, traders said. Front-month crude futures traded at a high of $64.79 this week, a 10-cent premium to the next-month contract . That is the first time this has happened since October, an indication of short-term supply concerns.
“The fear is that the components to blend into WTI remain an issue,” said Scott Shelton, a broker at ICAP in Durham.
On the other side of the pipeline, oil markets in Midland, Texas, are slumping as inventories rise and production grows. Stockpiles in West Texas rose to more than 20 million barrels in early April, Genscape said, up 5.6 million barrels from mid-February due to reduced outflow.
Midland crude traded at a midpoint of $6 a-barrel discount to futures, after sinking to a $7.50 discount, the weakest since December, compared with a $3.50-discount on Wednesday.
BATCHING AND BLENDING
Super-light oil now makes up nearly 15 percent of current Permian production of about 4.2 million barrels per day (bpd), market sources said.
Crude lines typically have a common stream to blend shippers’ crude together, but that is changing. Plains All American , which runs the Basin line to Cushing, recently required shippers to segregate WTL in order to “maintain the integrity of the common stream,” adding that it could reject shipments otherwise.
Crude volumes on that pipeline’s segment from Wichita Falls to Cushing fell by about 65,000 bpd in March from February, Genscape said, a signal of “batching issues,” said Ryan Saxton, Genscape’s manager of oil transport.
Some traders said blending issues could be shortlived as more pipelines from the Permian to the Gulf Coast will come online this year to facilitate exports and if flows from other regions recover. The front-month spread on Thursday eased to trade back in negative territory.
For now, traders are scrambling to find the right tanks for storage at Cushing and source enough blending components so the crude can meet quality requirements.
“I’ve been doing this for more than 10 years and I’ve never seen this happen, people freaking out the way they are right now,” one trader said.
There have been shortages of other types of crude. Heavy crude has been in high demand after sanctions on Venezuela and production curtailments in Canada. Winter production outages have reduced supply of light crude out of North Dakota and Colorado, which are also blended in Cushing.
“Unless you are a major player who can source what you need, when you need and at the volumes you need it … to get all the ducks in a row within a certain time is very challenging,” said John Zanner, energy analyst for RBN Energy.

And, for all of you who believe that “renewables” are going to replace FFs:
“Extreme Weather Shows Weak Spots Of Wind, Solar Energy”
“Richard McCarty noted that wind turbines’ limited operation in low subzero temperatures and solar panels’ inability to produce power when they are covered with snow. Indeed, both of these are factual observations. … According to McCarty, during the recent cold spell in the States, wind turbine shutdowns reduced the contribution of wind farms in parts of the country from more than 50 percent to just 3 percent. … Solar power proponents note that panels are installed at an angle to the ground so the snow can slide off them and also note they are easily cleanable from the snow. In a snow storm, however, chances are that cleaning solar panels is the last thing on people’s minds.” When you need it most, it ain’t there!

“Perhaps most remarkably, he commented of the rise of China: “They’re creating robots out of their own people… each Chinese person is a kind of replica of the next one and that is a very frightening thing.””
“Scruton was little more favourable towards the prime minister whose government appointed him. “I can’t say that Theresa May would have been my choice. She’s obviously an honest, respectable, somewhat old-fashioned, wooden person… she’s doing her best. But it’s not what the country needs, it does need strong leadership.” Someone prepared to pursue a no-deal Brexit? “Yes.””
