As you have likely heard in the news, U.S. oil and gas companies (and oil and gas companies in many other countries) are currently experiencing massive economic difficulties due to a combination of the Russian-Saudi oil price wars and COVID-19. Although the United States is the world’s largest producer of oil, other big producers like Russia and Saudi Arabia have been pumping out huge quantities of oil, causing supply to increase and prices to drop. Even with the recent agreement reached to cut production, COVID-19, which has caused oil consumption to substantially drop as billions of people comply with lock-down orders, will continue to have an impact on oil prices. Low oil prices mean that U.S companies can’t break even—the cost of drilling and hydraulically fracturing a well exceeds the amount of money they can make by selling oil. Many of these companies were already struggling before these crisis, in part because there has been a glut of natural gas production because many oil wells produce substantial amounts of natural gas. This glut has also caused natural gas prices to drop. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">There will be a very interesting Rocky Mountain Mineral Law Foundation webinar on this topic on April 16, and the webinar is free for students at constituent law schools.
