Economic Development Corporation of Utah (EDCUtah)’s Post

We enjoyed the opportunity to participate on a panel at the What’s Up Down South economic summit in southern Utah today! Panel participants included Danny Stewart and Lynne Mayer from our team, alongside Jen Wakeland, who is the director of strategic development director for Beaver County. During the panel we discussed how we synergize with local communities to create a hub for collaboration, innovation, and growth designed to facilitate global connectivity and streamline business operations. We highlighted three project areas of significance for southern Utah: 1) The Mineral Mountain Project area, which will optimize transportation assets, energy and mining resources, and other key factors to develop new primary employment opportunities in Beaver 2) The Iron Springs Project Area, which will serve southwestern Utah with two transloading facilities and the creation of a 725-acre rail-served industrial park for new business development.

In this interview I visit with seasoned energy industry vet Ed Kovalik, these days the Chairman and C.E.O. of Prairie Operating Co. (NASD-PROP.) Prairie--which obtained its Nasdaq listing right before this past Christmas--has garnered attention, in part, due to its strategy of buying accretive energy assets in what we call a "sweet spot" in the market/industry right now. Here' you'll learn about both Prairie's core assets it launched with in 2023 and its latest impressive acquisition; this all together with its growth and looming plans for added development and production. Beyond all this--and solidifying the investment case for Prairie specifically--Ed and Chris also add some key insights on the internal dynamics and pricing of energy to underscore just how out of whack things are…and to reinforce our mutual argument that fossil fuels are not only here to stay for quite some time but that the present represents another great opportunity for long-term investors to load up on "Old Energy."

Texas is in growth mode! The gap between Texas and California in terms of people and economy has been steadily closing, and if trends continue, we will become the most populous state sometime in the 2040s. This video is a long one, but worth a watch. For those interested in the Texas Oil & Gas story, be sure to watch until the end…fascinating. Here are a few facts that stood out: - Since the onset of COVID, 140 major companies have relocated HQs to TX. More than 40% of those have come from California. - Texas is responsible for 35% of all the US jobs created since 2020. - Houston and Fort Worth home prices are on average 4x less expensive than in San Fransisco and homes in Austin are about half the price of those in LA.  Justin Walseth, Stephen Carlson, Rich Porreco, Dennis Smith

Corporate Bond of the Day: Pacificorp The Pacific holds many secrets. Including an unknown civilization. Recently, researchers have uncovered something groundbreaking in Tonga—10,000 earthen mounds which hint at an ancient Pacific urban civilization previously unknown. Utilizing advanced aerial laser technology, researchers have unearthed evidence suggesting that these structures were part of a city developed around AD 300-700—years earlier than previously believed possible. Located just 12 kilometers from Tonga’s capital, Nuku’alofa, this site challenges traditional notions of urban development, especially in island settings where such large-scale urbanization was not thought possible. This low-density urban setup may represent a unique form of city planning that could transform our understanding of ancient civilizations across Oceania and beyond. In honor of this unknown Pacific discovery, today’s Security of the Day is a corporate bond for Pacificorp!

My thanks to the WA Mid West & Gascoyne Major Projects Conference 2024 for the panel opportunity to discuss 'opportunities and challenges as the region seeks to become a global player in the clean energy transition'.    With many and varied projects at various stages of development, the region has enormous potential to benefit from the energy transition.    Drawing parallels with the historic development of the gas and resource industry in the North West, and what each of the panellists are seeing day to day across the sector, panellists made the following points:   Move as a region (not as individual projects or companies) and bring partnerships early into the equation, especially on common user infrastructure to share capital costs. Collaboration on offtake is essential between industry and governments, especially during early stages when prices are higher than willingness to pay. This can include diplomatic collaboration, and domestic and overseas offtake. Proponents need to consider local community needs up front and how to address adjacent social infrastructure development Thanks to Will Pulsford from Poten Partners, Martin Wilkes from RISC and Izzi Messina from Wood for joining me in fielding questions and delivering some engaging conversation and observations.

We’ve already raved to you about all the reasons why moving to Texas is a great idea. If you’ve decided to take the leap towards the lone star state (which we absolutely think you should), you may want to do a bit of research into which Texan city is ideal to call your new home. And we may be a little biased, but Houston takes the cake for a few different reasons.
