Nearly 2,000 of the drilling permits were approved on public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management’s New Mexico office, followed by 843 in Wyoming, 285 in Montana and North Dakota, and 191 in Utah. In California, the Biden administration approved 187 permits — more than twice the 71 drilling permits Trump approved in that state in his first year.

“Biden’s runaway drilling approvals are a spectacular failure of climate leadership,” said Taylor McKinnon at the Center for Biological Diversity. “Avoiding catastrophic climate change requires ending new fossil fuel extraction, but Biden is racing in the opposite direction.”

Misleading data. Drilling permits are only a small part of the process. The Biden admin has been actively stalling the many other steps needed to actually extract any oil.

Way off topic from Chevy commercials by page 5, so I'll veer a bit more. Covid lockdowns were the test run, and pretty damn successful at that. Showed about half the country is obedient sheep. The other half they just smeared as selfish, deplorable extremists. Now that the test run was successful, the model will be used over and over again, for electric cars and anything else they deem is for the greater good. "You may only charge your vehicle three times per month comrade. Use those charges wisely you selfish, extremist pig". You know, because the grid is for everyone's use, not just yours.

Never did I imagine when I came to this beautiful country legally from a communist shithole as a child, that Reagan's America would be reduced to this in only 35 years. Sad

I came here 35 years ago too, and it's really not the same country anymore. We are watching, in real time, the destruction of what was once the greatest nation on earth.

The Soviet propaganda machine had nothing on today’s mainstream media in the United States.

I didn't come from a communist country like you but it's hard to imagine a media more corrupt than most of what we have now. But it's not just the media, the same radical progressives have more or less complete control over education, all the way through. Truly scary.

Yes sir, Exactly the point I tried to make earlier. Getting the permits for right of ways, well site equipment (pumping units, compressors etc) and all the other red tape is where the progress gets killed. Some of our more recent drilling has taken well over a year to get completed with us doing everything in our power to expedite the process. For the wells already being produced, we have had to create and hire 8 new positions this year to keep up with all the extra regulatory burden of new fugitive gas emissions laws. We have a whole team now assigned to keep us compliant with that mess. They are making use replace gas driven pneumatic devices like compressor liquid dumps, glycol pumps, separator dumps etc. with instrument air.(think small 12v air compressor and tank setup) The amount of natural gas most of these devices release quite literally amounts to just a fart. I’ve been over seeing the development of our instrument air program to remain compliant. This is easily going to cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars to get and remain compliant. This is just one of many ways, they are keeping things rough for the producers. Other than actually drilling wells which in its self is a real bitch.

If we were to be found in large scale un compliance, we could quickly be fined into bankruptcy. This isn’t even emissions related to running the pumping unit engines, compression engines, and salt water disposal engines. That’s a whole other area of legislation that could put us bankrupt on its own if largely un compliant. If half of you had the slightest clue how bad the legislation and the red tape are right now you’d be even more outraged.

I can tell you for sure, there is no sandbagging on production in the company I work for. It’s an untrue narrative that the oil companies are striving to keep supplies low. Why would they? Sure you can say to somehow keep profits high and supply low but, we really don’t have that much capability on a large scale. That would be a huge ordeal to orchestrate. Booms are when producers and mid steam operators make the capital to pay off loans and fund future projects. We are pushing harder than ever to get every last MCF of gas and barrel of oil we can right now. Luckily funding drilling isn’t hard for us as we pay cash up front for everything we do with absolutely zero debt. We normally buy out bankrupt companies mineral rights and assets when in a bust time because of our zero debt policy. We haven’t had bust related layoffs EVER in the 60+ years the company has been in business, which is unheard of in the oil and gas industry.

Just a couple more cents from an evil oil man

Exactly right again. We have pulled our kids out public schools because of the shit that was being shoved down their throats. Very scary indeed as a whole.

Good for you for pulling your kids out of the indoctrination camps and good to hear your insider perspective on that misleading drilling permit data.

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. The only way they can inherit the freedom we have known is if we fight for it, protect it, defend it, and then hand it to them with the well fought lessons of how they in their lifetime must do the same. And if you and I don’t do this, then you and I may well spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it once was like in America when men were free.” - Ronald Reagan

Wish we welcomed more people like you! Unfortunately the wallflowers the last generation or so have raised will be this country's undoing!
