IssuesUpdate: Arkansas Independent Producers & Royalty Owners
with national and international politics, "
Baker describes. " We have been hearing
that the president does not want to lease
anymore in the Gulf of Mexico. He
sought to get gas from Russia before it
invaded Ukraine, and now he is talking
to Venezuela about getting more of its
oil, and he is depleting the Strategic Petroleum
Reserve.
" Meanwhile, American producers
would like to produce for the country,
but it does not appear the administration
considers them to be part of the solution, "
Baker contrasts. " An administration that
is clearly against American oil and gas
production makes it difficult for companies
to know what is going to happen down
the road. "
Many of the Biden administration's rulemakings
show its hostility toward the oil
and gas industry, Miller says. " Our regulatory
committee has spent a lot of time working
to develop comments on rules coming out
of this administration that are very detrimental
to domestic production, " he conveys. " Preparing
these comments adds great expense-
not only in time, energy and expertise, but
also in the need to hire outside professional
help-but matters such as the methane tax
look like they will be extremely costly for
American producers. "
Ultimately, Baker relates, American
voters will decide which course U.S. energy
policy will take. Speaking in advance
of the November midterm elections, he
expressed hope allies of U.S. oil and gas
production would prevail, but also acknowledged
the outlook was cloudy. " I
am concerned about the extent to which
the American people actually realize what
is happening versus how much they are
being distracted, " he said. " I hope Americans
sort through the rhetoric and understand
the situation as it really is. "
Seeking Efficiencies
Even amid the uncertainty, AIPRO's
leaders say there is plenty of optimism
throughout the state's oil and gas industry.
" Attitudes are very positive, " Miller reports.
" A lot of work is going into changing
wells' decline curves and addressing efficiencies
to improve production. Our
company is always looking for efficiencies,
trying new things, and we are not the
only one. "
As for rig activity, Miller acknowledges
that companies mostly have kept their
powder dry but suggests that may change.
" People still are waiting to make the investments
to actually start drilling again,
because the downturn really affected our
infrastructure around here, " he relates.
Those affects are particularly acute in
South Arkansas, where oil projects predominate,
Baker says. " When oil prices
went negative, the stress on companies
