Shepstone continues to report the REALITY of the oil industry. Both political “sides” make the same idiotic noise about eliminating oil, and both political “parties” actually allow oil to continue booming. It’s a good reminder to pay NO ATTENTION to the noise and consider only the reality.

U.S. crude oil and natural gas production has been increasing despite a decline in the number of active rigs since late 2022. Since early 2023, the Permian region has had more active rigs than the rest of the Lower 48 states and has continued to complete hundreds of wells (or prepare them for production) each month.

Hundreds of new wells per month! The wildcatters of the 1920s would be proud of such a record, and couldn’t imagine that oil would still be GROWING a century later.
One of my distant ancestors was a wildcatter who gave our family name to a town, and I grew up in Ponca where oil made the city beautiful and highly civilized. I feel especially proud that OUR heritage has NOT vanished despite the best efforts of evil gangster families like the Kennedys.
