Draining America First, As Fast as Possible
If you read the Midland paper article, you'll see that 50% of natural gas produced in Texas is exported either by LNG or by pipe to Mexico.
(Pressure) depletion in the Permian Basin is the real deal. Well productivity is falling and decline rates have never been higher. The crap in the article about increasing well productivity in the Permian is a stoopid EIA metric that does not account for DUCs being completed that require no rigs.
Eagle Ford productivity is down nearly 26% in 2025, BOE per perforated foot, or lateral foot, either one. From the Texas part of the Delaware Basin out West, down 14% in 2025 and down nearly 8% in the Midland Basin. Produced water volumes are pushing 28 MM BPD.
Exports do NOT lower hydrocarbon prices for the American consumer, that is a lie. Over half U.S. oil exports go to NATO countries in Europe, our Allies that did not lift a finger in Iran...Trump today is rigging down all military presence in NATO countries because they won't pay their bills.
America's oil and natural gas need to stay in America, for American's and OUR nation's long term energy security.
