In news that can’t possibly be good for the US or any country producing large amounts of shale oil, the UAE will exit opec effective May 1. Fracking extraction requires a minimum oil price. If prices drop too low due to unmoderated production by oil field countries (due to lack of oversight), fracking producers gonna feel some real pain.

UAE announces it will leave Opec | The National

The world's seventh-largest oil producer will exit the bloc on May 1, allowing it to gain greater 'flexibility to respond to market dynamics'

Who knows what to think as far as US production is concerned. I drove from Dickinson ND up to New Town a couple weekends ago. Not sure how many hundreds (maybe 1K) of wells a guy passes on that fairly short drive. I’d be surprised if 20% had pumps spinning. Maybe saw a half dozen workover rigs total. Didn’t see a single drill rig and you can see a long ways every direction on that drive. Im not sure when “drill baby, drill” happens when we’re not even at “pump baby, pump.”

"Drill baby drill" was always a political scam that was never going to make any difference. The US does not own that oil. International oil companies own that oil and it all goes into the global market subject to global prices. The US is not going to "domestic production" its way out of this crisis or any future poil crisis without seizure and nationalization of the infrastructure and production.

Political scam?

Political scam?

Best to just hit the block / ignore button brother. Everything he post is left leaning, doom and gloom, anti America.

The forum gets much better blocking all of the crazy negative people around here.

If you want to explain how it wasn't a empty phrase used to illicit political support, then I'm interested to hear it.

This has worked in no country that has tried it. The idea that the government could take over anything from the private sector and would achieve success is pure lunacy.

I agree. A somewhat light version of this was tried during the 1970s oil crisis and it was a disaster. and elsewhere its been a failure at a minimum and then the oil companies are hesitant to reinvest after it fails. See Venezuela as an example.

Like it or not, the reality is, the oil marketplace is global and the oil companies are global entities. There is this romanticized idea that the US can just produce its own oil decoupled from the global market (hence the "drill baby drill" from way back in 2008), but there is no practical way to decouple the oil production or infrastructure itself from the global market without nationalizing it. This is the system we have and we are too deep into it to change it anytime soon . That's why I'm like "we need to stop talking this 'drill baby drill' nonsense as if it is the solution to our problem. I mean, sure the US can produce more oil and impact the price a tiny bit, but the oil companies are the only ones who get to make that decision and that only makes sense for them if it makes sense for their shareholders. If we want cheaper oil, there must be. an acceptance and embracement of global production. That's pretty much the end of it unless folks want to consider nationalization.

I don’t think the saying, solely means an actual bit in dirt.
Lifting restrictions, streamlining permits, limiting vehicle epa restrictions, oil exploration, opening of closed areas, etc etc I think all encompasses the meaning behind the saying.
