You want to screw the Russians? Export LNG from the US to Europe. If you don't have the pipeline infrastructure build it.

Now that the Obama administration is out, and was not replaced with a replacement Obama, pipelines can actually be built. And fracking regulations will be eased. And permits on Federal lands will be increased. And so on and so on.

Saw a Goldman paper and speaker at industry conference that detailed their expectations on exploration and production given the new environment. Was rather eye-popping.

I also know some people that are behind the computational and econometric aspects of drilling and forecasting. They relayed to me much the same, and laughed when I mentioned the paper and speaker. They couldn't say as much, but I would lay dollars to donuts I know who Goldman leaned on to provide at least some of the analysis power.

Some are talking about a 4 fold increase in economically recoverable reserves in the next 7-9 years in the continental US.

Can you explain some of this?

I thought domestic production of natural gas and oil exploded under Obama, so much so that it basically upended global markets, and that it is a glut of supply in both oil and gas that has curtailed energy production because it is too expensive to produce at the given cost.

Also, what Obama regulations are you talking about? I was only aware of the ones dealing with exploration on federal lands.

And same for pipelines. Other than DAPL, which ones were being delayed that dealt with domestic energy production and refinement?
