December’s President’s Letter

Dear Members,

Whew! This is my last President’s letter and I have to say this has been the toughest part of my job as your club president. Over the years I have read all the president’s letters and they have been edu-cational, informative and even entertaining, I hope some of mine were as well.

During our November membership party members attending voted in the 2019 Board, ate a Taco Tuesday buffet and learned the art of making a one of a kind personal bracelet. Thanks to Missy and Kathryn for providing us with various choices of beads.

I want to take a moment to say “Thank You” to you the members of the Red River Desk and Derrick Club. I appreciate all the volun-teers who have given of their time and energy whether at a function or behind the computer. We are all valued members who have a va-riety of talents that contribute to the continued success of this club. This year we had a great time hosting our Red River Clays, a Bun-co tournament and our annual Golf Tournament, it is because of you volunteering that this was possible. So, I say again “Thank You”!

The 2019 renewal forms have been emailed if you have not re-ceived yours please let Deb McCuller know so she can resend the email.

Installation of the 2019 board will take place on Tuesday, Decem-ber 11th at the Petroleum Club also, as a reminder we will be taking up a collection at the meeting as a “Thank You” to the Petroleum

Club staff who during the year have taken care of us at our monthly meetings.

Hope To See you soon,

Sheryl December, 2018

TWO SHALE PLAYS MOVING OUT OF PERMIAN’S SHADOW By: Jordan Blum, Houston Chronicle

Permian, Schmermian.

While the reborn Permian Basin in West Texas has so overshadowed every other oil and gas field in the country that analysts invented a new word — Permania — to explain the phenomenon, two other shale plays, each straddling the Texas border, are experiencing their own rebirth, according to reports released Friday.

Oklahoma's Anadarko Basin, which extends into the Texas Panhandle, may emerge as the most prolific onshore oil and gas play outside of the Permian, according to a study by the global research and accounting firm, IHS Markit. On the other side of the state, the Haynesville shale has roared back to life due to higher natural gas prices and liquefied natural gas export terminals coming online along the Gulf Coast, the Norwegian research firm Rystad reported.

Billions of barrels

IHS Markit estimates that the Greater Anadarko Basin still holds an estimated 16 billion barrels of oil and more than 200 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. The region previously boomed in the 1970s and into the 1980s, but modern horizontal drilling techniques coupled with hydraulic fracturing, called fracking, are pushing Oklahoma to new oil production rec-ords.

The majority of the activity in the basin is focused on the shale rock plays known as the SCOOP - South Central Okla-homa Oil Province - and STACK - Sooner Trend Anadarko Canadian and Kingfisher (counties) - plays.

Oklahoma is now a distant second to Texas in the number of rigs actively drilling with 140, above third-place New Mexico's 105 rigs. Texas has more than 500 rigs in operation, according to the Houston oilfield services company Baker Hughes.

The potential of the Anadarko is beginning to spur a new Oklahoma land rush, according to IHS Markit. Only about 20 percent of the basin’s STACK sweet-spot locations have been drilled or developed. IHS Markit estimated that an addi-tional 4,000 to 5,000 horizontal wells could easily be drilled.

"We are now witnessing a new kind of Oklahoma land rush,” said John Roberts, IHS Markit executive director for glob-al subsurface operations. “But unlike what happened in 1889 when lands were opened to settlement, this time the com-petition is for access to the energy resources that lie below the surface.”

Sustainable revival

On the other side of the state, natural gas production in the Haynesville shale, which straddles East Texas and northwest-ern Louisiana, is at the highest level since its recent peak in 2011. Gas output should hit a new record later this year, ac-cording Rystad.

The continental U.S. began exporting LNG in early 2016 when Cheniere Energy’s Sabine Pass terminal in Louisiana came online. Cheniere, of Houston, has continued to expand the terminal, increasing the demand for Haynesville gas throughout 2016 and 2017.

More than 50 drilling rigs are running in the Hayneville, according to Baker Hughes

SHUTDOWN LEAVES OIL AND GAS UNSCATHED, BUT FOR

HOW LONG??? By: James Osborne, Houston Chronicle

WASHINGTON - Airport security waits mount behind absentee screeners and paycheck-less federal workers try to figure out how to pay their mortgages. But at least for now, the business of drilling for oil and gas continues to hum along during the three-week-old-and-counting partial shutdown of the federal government.

While most of the Bureau of Land Management is closed, the agency says it continues to issue permits for oil and gas drilling on federal land. And under the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement’s shutdown plan, it will continue to inspect offshore oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.

A spokesman for the oil lobbying group American Petroleum Institute said in an email, “We are monitoring the shut down impacts, but production does not appear to have been affected at this point.” But how much longer oil and gas companies can avoid the deeper pain of a government shutdown, as suffered by industries as diverse as farming and defense contracting, remains to be seen.

Even as permits for near-term projects are issued by skeleton staffs at federal agencies, the harder work of as-sessing the effects of future projects on the environment, Native American sites and wildlife has come to a virtual halt within government offices, industry officials and attorneys say.

“What folks are starting to see is where they have projects that are in process and need some sort of government approval, those reviews are starting to slow down,” said Ann Navaro, a Washington attorney and former top offi-cial at the Interior Department. “Some of those projects have long time lines so a couple weeks may not make a significant difference. But it will if the shutdown continues.”

On edge

In the western United States, where large portions of the oil and gas industry rely on federal lease sales for new drilling sites, nerves are already on edge.

The Bureau of Land Management has yet to delay any lease sales, with a big sale in Wyoming scheduled for next month. But Dan Naatz, senior vice president of government relations at the Independent Petroleum Association of America, said he wouldn’t be surprised if they were delayed.

“It’s that uncertainty that can really cast a long shadow as you’re trying to make investments, especially for our smaller companies,” he said. “We hope the White House and Congress - all this is above our pay grade - but we hope they will take action and the shutdown will be resolved soon.”

The so-far relatively painless experience of the oil and gas sector has drawn criticism that the Trump administra-tion is playing favorites, helping along an industry at the center of its American “energy dominance” economic strategy. Last week, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management updated its plans for a government shutdown to al-low staff working on the agency’s five-year plan for offshore oil and gas drilling to come back to work, potentially allowing that document to be released during the shutdown and keep the administration’s efforts to open the Arctic and the Atlantic moving forward.

SHUTDOWN LEAVES OIL AND GAS UNSCATHED, BUT FOR

HOW LONG??? (cont’d) By: James Osborne, Houston Chronicle

Michael Saul, senior attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity, questioned how it was that oil and gas permit-ting continued while government environmental work was suspended and national parks were left unmaintained.

“They say no permits would go forward that require cultural and environmental reviews. But how can they deter-mine that when the people with the expertise aren’t working?” Saul said. “There’s so much confusion right now. The problem we have is this is an administration hostile to transparency at the best of times.”

Past administrations' actions during shutdowns are mixed. During a 2013 shutdown under the Obama administra-tion, the Bureau of Land Management did not issue any drilling permits, an agency spokesman said.

But during that same shutdown, Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement did continue to issue permits and conduct safety inspections, said Eileen Angelico, a spokeswoman at BSEE said.

"Processing permits and inspections of offshore oil and gas operations are considered mission critical activities to continue support of the sustained exploration and development of energy resources on the Outer Continental Shelf," she said in an email.

2020 looming

Not all aspects of the government's oversight over the oil and gas sector continue to operate during the shutdown.

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration, which oversees the permitting of deep water oil and natural gas import and export terminals, has been closed. That has put at least three proposed crude oil ex-port terminals along the Gulf Coast in limbo, including an export terminal south of Galveston developed by Hou-ston pipeline and storage terminal operator Enterprise Products Partners.

Also, the Trump administration’s efforts to repeal Obama-era environmental laws has ground to a halt during the shutdown. With the Environmental Protection Agency closed, no employees are reviewing the thousands of com-ments on the administration proposal to rewrite regulations limiting methane regulations from oil and gas wells or to work on a proposal to roll back a sprawling water protection regulation.

With the 2020 election drawing closer, that is creating concern among lobbyists who fear lawsuits opposing the regulatory changes might delay implementation to the point that a new president could be in office before they take effect.

“We would like to see all these regulatory issues settled before the presidential election. We don’t know what’s going to happen and the timeline is getting more and more compressed,” said Lee Fuller, executive vice President of government relations at the Independent Petroleum Association of America. “There’s no clear path. The litiga-tion is going to be fairly extensive and complex.”

For now, government shutdown shows few signs of ending. And even when it does end, industry officials warn that agencies will need weeks, if not months to catch up.

Not only will backlogs need to be addressed, but also with new problems that arose in the three weeks and count-ing the government was shut down.

“You can’t just pick up exactly where you left off because in the meantime other priorities emerge,” Navaro said. “The shutdown causes a ripple effect.”
