Show Notes
In this month's news, we discuss how the energy landscape is being dramatically reshaped by policy decisions from the Trump administration, including the repeal of methane regulations, new tariffs on energy imports, and sanctions affecting Venezuelan crude. These changes come as OPEC+ begins unwinding production cuts, creating a complex mix of supply pressures that could affect both oil and gas prices. While oil has dropped to around $66 per barrel, natural gas prices have strengthened considerably. For mineral owners, these developments create both challenges and opportunities—tariffs on foreign crude could stimulate domestic production in certain regions, and we give an update on the current drilling activity across major U.S. basins!
