The market for #petrochemicals is uncertain, making new investments a risk.    This is especially evident in the United States, where countervailing market and political forces have caused the delay, cancellation and weak economic performance of petrochemical facilities across the nation.     Despite the warning signs, the state of #Louisiana continues to prop up the petrochemical industry with dozens of new projects and expansions that risk wasting substantial amounts of taxpayer dollars.     Learn more in a report by Tom Sanzillo, Suzanne Y. Mattei, and Abhishek Sinha ⤵ https://lnkd.in/gnJTiBXT

Accuracy is everything. Had the pleasure of having one of the most easy, productive, and collaborative conversations with one of our industry’s brightest minds Steven Ko. From his chemical engineering background, to formerly the VP of Completions of EQT Corporation, to his current role at Rivitt(if you don’t know of Rivitt I suggest you spend some time and look into them; impressive stuff) Steven reminded me of something that the majority tend to forget. Which was a breath of fresh air in my opinion to hear. Without accuracy, and without the professionals in the engineering space that actually care about the accuracy of the data we are putting together. What are we really trying to accomplish? The reality is the paradigms has shifted. It used to be drilling the well was the most important aspect. But there is a stronger argument to be made on the fact it’s the completions processes that are the most important. From the Frac to the drillout. There is nothing more important than accuracy for the Frac in the formation. Yet how can we have accuracy when E&P’s have gotten accustomed to the status-quo of inaccurate information without pushing for better, more accurate, innovation? We talk about K factors, SOP’s, recalibrations of surface equipment and the list goes on. What those small changes can do for the accuracy and our industry as a whole. We have engineers in the labs spending thousands and thousands of man hours doing sampling to get the most accurate information possible. But is any of it being done in the field? Those of us who have spent extensive time in the field do know the answer. It’s disappointing. While the automated acid blending system dubbed #AcidCannon I designed, developed, and patented is just the start of what goals I have. I(along with Steven and several others I know) want to change the perspective that we have when we look at the completions “eco system”. Mine is just a small part of innovation. Upwards and onwards. But the start happens at the discussions/conversations that’s where we truly begin to make change happen.

🌊⚠️ Breon Robinson, Coastal Organizer for Southwest Louisiana and Southeast Texas with Healthy Gulf, sat down with PoP to discuss the truth about the petrochemical industry. And truth is industry is all around us, shaping our communities and livelihoods. Many families have deep roots in this industry, with generations finding stability and success within it. But as we chase comfort and prosperity, are we truly aware of the environmental cost? 🚗💨It's time to break the cycle and demand accountability. Our future depends on it. 💡🌱 #EnvironmentalJustice#EndFossilFuels

What do you think it takes to run a successful oilfield business in West Texas? When we made our full length documentary to commemorate BP Supply's 40 Years in business, our CEO, Chris Parnell, was asked what it takes to be successful in this industry in West Texas. This was his reply. You can watch the full length documentary on our website on the About Us page. So what do you think it takes? #energyindustry #permianbasin #oilfield #business

WTI Midland: The benchmark that delivers    Did you know? WTI Midland is the true international and domestic choice for WTI, offering pure, reliable quality.   Unlike Cushing’s Domestic Sweet (DSW)—often a blend of West Texas, Canadian crudes, and more—WTI Midland avoids the pitfalls of inconsistent blending, such as excessive residual fuel oil and limited high-demand mid-range products.   We’ve explored this critical distinction and its implications for the market in our recent white paper with ICE.   Download the white paper now to understand why WTI Midland is setting the global standard. https://lnkd.in/eNqk97VB
