Oil companies right now have 9,000 leases they can drill on. Why are they not drilling?

[pknopp]

There it is again folks…a Lefist telling us that America can’t operate without parasites from Mexico.

“We swear, we don’t want more illegals and ‘open borders’, we just don’t want a wall to divide us from Mexico, we want anyone who says the word "asylum" to be set free among the American public, we want to provide illegals with safe havens, we want to give illegals the right to drive, we want to provide them with free education and healthcare, we want to abolish iCE, we want a pathway to citizenship for the 20-40 million illegals here now, we want the 1.7 million DACA ‘kids’ gifted a form of citizenship and we want all Mexicans to be able to become citizens without all the red tape....but, but, but....we swear, we don’t want open borders."

Business is telling us we have to have the workers and since both parties are beholding to business it's the way it will remain.

As a side story. Desantis is one of the loudest voices here. Here is the realities.

My son moved to Florida. He tells me he goes to a check cashing place to get his first check cashed. I tell him people are also sending money back to Mexico and he laughs while noting there is a big sign out that they send money to Mexico.

Florida pretended to pass an e-verify program but what did it consist of? A business has to get the potential employee to sign a form stating they are here legally.

Desantis is not going to do anything as the economy of Florida would collapse if he actually did.

Biden and the left's continual drumbeat to destroy the fossil fuel industry is at play here.
If I'm a CEO of an oil company, I'm going to look to maximize profits as much as possible in the remaining years I have left.
Look around the world, the left everywhere wants to end the use of fossil fuels, in their minds wind and solar is the only thing we should be using.
Sick of these skyrocketing prices? Kick a Dim!

Cool theory but “Business” doesn’t write immigration policy, business doesn’t form public opinion.

Cool personal theory….it will remain your personal theory until you post Florida’s E-verify guidelines and how the law actually functions.

Cool personal theory….should we go on ‘’because you said so’?

Seems they want to slow supply with demand going up that mean Cha ching. More record prices.

So why sit on these leases and not drill.

Oh yeah they have billions of reason not to.

They aren't even drilling in some already present leases. My family owns several in Texas and have not received any money in over 6 months....they aren't pumping at our wells.

Biden is 100 percent right

Look what our reliance on fossil fuels is buying us

Biden is a moron, and so are you for buying into his lies.

The rest (over half) is used to make things like: Although the major use of petroleum is as a fuel, (gasoline, jet fuel, heating oil), and petroleum and natural gas are often used to generate electricity, there are many other uses.

Here are some of the ways petroleum is used in our every day lives. All plastic is made from petroleum and plastic is used almost everywhere: in cars, houses, toys, computers and clothing. Asphalt used in road construction is a petroleum product as is the synthetic rubber in the tires. Paraffin wax comes from petroleum, as do fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides, detergents, phonograph records, photographic film, furniture, packaging materials, surfboards, paints, and artificial fibers used in clothing, upholstery, and carpet backing.

Powerful businesses can affect the economy thus driving politics. It was done in Chile to bring about Pinochet.

 

[LeftofLeft]

He is trying

One political party keeps blocking it

Bullshit. Further, there is no need to punish the Oil industry as a first step or even a concurrent step as part of the process to convert us to viable alternative energy. Economicly speaking, that is just asinine.

1. Leases does not mean you can drill, you also need "permits". Greens take companies to court to stop getting permits. Biden's admin is on the greens side in court. That's why drilling is less.

2. You not only need to drill, you also need pipelines. Biden won't allow new pipelines.

As war rages in Ukraine and debate over drilling on American public lands is once again in the news, a new dashboard from the Center for Western Priorities highlights the hypocrisy of the oil industry’s push to throw even more public lands open to drilling. Combined, the oil and gas industry holds leases to more than 25 million acres of publicly-owned minerals, roughly half of which sit unused. Companies now hold more than 9,000 approved, but unused, drilling permits on national public lands, all of which could be put to use today. Further, oil production on public lands is near all time highs, despite industry claims that the Biden administration has suppressed domestic production.

Why aren’t oil companies drilling?​

Over the last decade, oil companies have not only been lighting excess natural gas on fire, they’ve been lighting money on fire as well. As of the beginning of 2022, oil companies listed in the S&P Oil and Gas Exploration and Production index had amassed $167 billion in debt, down from a high of $298 billion in 2020. Now that oil prices have risen, investors are looking to see profits returned to shareholders in the form of dividends and stock buybacks, rather than invested in more production. Similarly, banks that once lent oil companies money are now hesitant to commit more funds without guarantees that they will plow revenues into loan repayment, rather than more new drilling. Further, oil companies face a host of constraints when looking to increase production, namely the availability of drilling crews and sand for hydraulic fracturing.

By the numbers: Oil industry awash in permits, leases while pushing for more drilling - Center for Western Priorities

Understandably, Repubs have relentlessly flogged the lies about Biden being responsible for high gas prices in an election year because people want someone to blame.

What do you mean by punish?

 

[rightwinger]

That's so stupid, it's hard to believe you said it & exactly the opposite of reality.
What is wrecking things is the forced removal from abundant & much cheaper fossil fuels in favor of "cleaner, greener energy" pipedreams designed to reduce our standard of living.
Fake climate science & an irrational fear of weather is what drives the ignorant masses to buy into this grift

Green renewable energy is our future

Do you enjoy paying $5 a gallon for gas?

What do you mean by punish?

Demonize fossil fuels, say that “it is time to reign in the US oil companies”, increase regulations; put moratoriums and/or cease drilling.

How can all of these moves collectively be construed as anything but punishment? Biden-Harris is certainly committed to not doing anything to help US oil production.

How does that punish big oil?

They should already know that

Because of the other million regulations, and the fact that not all of those leases have oil on them........

Yep. Zero (0) incentive to do so.

The cult doesn't understand that.

The Biden administration has made sure investing in fossil fuels is not desirable. Liberal idiots seem incapable of understanding that.

Just because it is a lease does not mean there is oil there. I cost millions just to find it.
Why would oil companies invest in more drilling when shit for brains wants to shut them all down?
Biden says he would transition out of the oil industry by eliminating subsidies for oil companies, which would lead to catastrophic job losses for American workers.
President Joe Biden’s pick for a top banking regulatory position said “we want” oil and gas companies to go bankrupt.
