Drill, Baby, Drill. It’s Kind of Like Real Estate — Location, Location, Location

In this episode of Energy Newsbeat Daily Standup, Stu Turley and Michael Tanner break down why U.S. drilling success still comes down to “location, location, location.” They analyze breakeven costs across major basins, rising LNG demand and natural gas prices, and the growing acceptance of natural gas as a “clean” fuel. The hosts discuss Pine Gate Renewables’ bankruptcy, Orsted’s mounting losses, and the ripple effects of inflation on ConocoPhillips’ Willow project. They wrap with insights on rig counts, production strategies, and why smart investors are turning back to oil and gas for real returns.
