Getches-Wilkinson Center GWC Fellows Announcement The Getches-Wilkinson Water Fellows program was initiated by a generous donation from David Bonderman - a lawyer, businessman, and significant supporter of conservation efforts. The matching funds came from an anonymous GWC supporter as well as the Water Funder Initiative - a collaborative effort to identify and activate promising water solutions through strategic philanthropic investments in the United States, starting in the West. The intensive two-year program will immerse the two Fellows in the real world challenges of water law and policy. They will address critical issues affecting western watersheds, conduct reform-oriented research on pressing issues in the field, and interact with public and private sector leaders to inform policymaking. The Fellows will be actively engaged in water law reform in the public interest and will hone their leadership, communication, advocacy, and research skills. The overarching objective is to create a matchless educational and mentoring experience that will prepare the Fellows to become leaders in the field. The job description, requirements and application instructions are available here: Getches-Wilkinson Water Fellows For more information, contact Shaun LaBarre at shaun.labarre at colorado.edu or 303.492.1286.

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. 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. (FSU Law is a constituent law school.) Please see the e-mail below for information on how to register for free.
