From “Global Warming” to “Climate Crisis”: Has Anything Actually Changed, Other Than the Name?: Thomas Gillespie, PG
Open to view video.
Open to view video. Despite rhetoric from opposing camps in the energy/climate debate, there can be no question at this point that a diverse energy portfolio, consisting of both expendables and renewables, is going to be the status quo for the foreseeable future. The findings of scientific inquiry, however, do not actually support the current headlong rush down an uncharted path to achieve undefined Net-Zero carbon dioxide emission targets within the next twenty years. Recognizing that extraordinary statements require extraordinary support, a factual survey is presented in which each of the foundational claims of climate science are examined in an effort to elucidate whether the hard data either underpins or undermines apocalyptic prognostications and whether the measured changes to global climate have warranted escalation of the original appellation global warming, through a series of now-discarded epithets from climate change, to climate disruption, to climate catastrophe, culminating in the current hyperbolic designation: climate crisis.
Royalty Price Provisions, New Effective Burdens and the Impact on Your Overall Well Economics: Suzie Boyd
Open to view video.
Open to view video. Marketing Oil, Gas and NGL’s is more complicated and complex than most in the industry realize. The rapid increase in oil, gas and NGL exports adds even more complexity. The ultimate value of the commodities depends on many factors including the regional location, the point of sale (whether at the wellhead or somewhere further downstream), the quality or condition of the commodity, and numerous other factors. Determining the price at a particular point of sale depends on the contracting and sales strategy of the producer. Royalty price provisions in lease agreements can likewise be confusing. In many cases, the Lessee remits payment to the Lessor based on what he actually receives, net to the wellhead. Certain lease agreements attempt to disallow certain deductions that may be required to make the oil, gas or NGL marketable. In many cases, the language in these leases does not make sense from a marketing perspective, leading to confusion on how royalty payments are made often resulting in legal challenges. Several court cases have attempted to resolve these disputes with cases having differing outcomes based on the specifics of the case. This talk attempts to assist negotiators in how to avoid introducing conflicting statements in lease agreements and arrive at the language that describes the situation they are attempting to receive. Another issue faced in the royalty provisions are the economic results of disallowed deductions. In many situations, organizational silos between land, engineering, management, and accounting result in no clear understanding of the actual economic results of disallowed deductions. A company that thinks it signed a lease with a 20% burden may experience an actual burden much higher as a result.

A&D Considerations for Evolving Lower 48 Portfolios: Investment Responses, Refreshed Strategies, and a Path Ahead: Robert Clarke
Open to view video.
Open to view video. This presentation will showcase the past year’s trends in global upstream M&A. It will explain how the U.S. deal market compares and illustrate what makes U.S. transactions unique. Upstream portfolio needs are changing, though, and assets need to account for evolving investor and stakeholder demands. Numerous E&Ps are adding low carbon opportunities through M&A. Others are seeking to build additional resilience through scale in a single basin. Some management teams are conversely adding diversification as a way to handle volatile commodity markets. Which A&D shifts could be permanent?
