I find this hard to believe. The federal excess tax is 24.4 cents per gallon. Not sure what it is in your state.

What happens when the price of a gallon of gas is more than a barrel of oil?


Buy a refinery

laugh it up. hundreds of thousands of people in the South are employed directly or indirectly by the O&G industry.





And a lot of them on this board claim they are safe because they are somewhere on a stream or some such shite.

You guys make fun of those field hands, but we all will be affected along the gulf coast. Local business depend on that industry's health.

Most of the active rigs in Louisiana are drilling dry gas shale wells. They will likely remain at about the same number with natural gas looking to strengthen into 2021 and most of them currently hedged anyways. The Texas and Oklahoma plays are beyond dead at these prices and Midland/Odessa is probably a bad place to be currently.

Technically you are correct. But in reality JBE lead the charge on the tax increases. He threatened, cajoled, and did whatever he had to do to get them passed.

As he will again.

You are correct in that they cannot unilaterally raise taxes. But they sure as shite can campaign for them

IF there was ever a time to put in a UST and fill it with cheap gas, that time is now...

I believe they plan the budget for 65 a barrel


I hope they weren't that foolish. The industry was already in a decline in Q1 2019. I think the more realistic price would have been $40 - $45.

You have some that are hedged and you have some companies who are in contracts to supply a certain amount of gas each month to support things like power production. The Haynsesville is the safest place to be currently. The absolute worst place to be is the Delaware and Midland basins. They will get completely wrecked. Expect less than 100 rigs operating in the coming months.

This. It's like working at Target in Las Vegas and being giddy that all the casinos suddenly close down. Too stupid to realize the impact it'll have on everything around you locally, regionally, and nationally.

I think only one LA rig shut down last week. But almost 70 across the country shut just during last week, primarily Texas and New Mexico. But yes, probably a lot more this week



There will be more. Operators are laying them down as they finish up current wells and/or pads.
