Liberty Power Innovations is creating services and capabilities to leverage mobile power generation and remote natural gas fueling in the oilfield and beyond. Read more on these trends and where we’re heading in this month’s The American Oil & Gas Reporter (AOGR).

The Texas Public Utility Commission has greenlit a plan to expand power grid access in the Permian Basin to keep pace with the oil and natural gas industry's growing electricity needs. The push to electrify oil and gas operations could boost Permian electricity demand to nearly 27 gigawatts by 2038, potentially requiring up to $15.32 billion in grid upgrades, ERCOT estimates. #oilandgas #permianbasin #lng #naturalgas #powergeneration #economy

Marauder Land Resources, LLC: Respectfully, if we're going to double electric grid capacity to the Permian Basin, that may be an excellent opportunity to use the flared natural gas redirected to baseload or peaker power plants: "A Texas commission unanimously on Thursday approved the Permian Basin Reliability Plan, which is designed to expand power grid infrastructure in the United States' largest oilfield to accommodate rapidly growing demand from the oil and gas industry." h/t G.

We have a deep bench of land professionals experienced in all aspects of this work. BESS arbitrage is decoupling from the wind and solar projects that they are traditionally connect to, and becoming "electron-agnostic": ● “ ‘Football fields’ of batteries have helped Texas's grid when electricity demand is highest,” WFAA Dallas, 8/26/24: LINK: https://lnkd.in/dzD4WFCw We know of a good place to source that domestic Lithium for your manufacturer in a few years: LINK: https://lnkd.in/gbEwJ2BK #energy #energyindustry #energypolicy #electricgrid #powergrid #oilgas #oilandgas #natgas #naturalgas #permian #permianbasin #delawarebasin #electricity #easements #transmissionlines #utilities #Ercot #eagleford #haynesville #barnettshale #BESS #Lithium #battery #batterytech #electricgrid #powergrid #Lithium

Per the Federal Reserve's quarterly energy survey, U.S. shale oil and gas is moving to electric rigs and fracking to reduce diesel emissions, but grid infrastructure and cost challenges are hurdles. #oil #oilandgas #oilandgasindustry #oilfield https://lnkd.in/gKVpcCk3

Permian Basin Reliability Plan Texas recently approved the Permian Basin Reliability Plan, aimed at bolstering power grid access for the oil and gas industry. This plan will address the rising electricity demands driven by the rapid growth of energy operations in the region. As the Texas oilfield continues to expand, this infrastructure enhancement is crucial for both supporting industry needs and reducing emissions through electrification of operations. This initiative represents a significant step towards ensuring long-term grid reliability and a more sustainable energy future in Texas. 🔎www.tx-trades.com #EnergyInfrastructure #TexasEnergy #OilAndGas #Sustainability #PermianBasin

Power Crisis: Drilling is up nearly 50x what it was 10 years ago. The country’s lack of power supply is forcing oil and gas companies to seek cleaner and cost-efficient alternatives to the grid. EWX Power Solutions is the answer to the industry’s looming challenges. Our Solar Hybrid Model™ offers clean, portable renewable power at any location throughout the US.

The need for widespread, intelligent industrial #VirtualPowerPlants is growing by the day. Power demand is expected to balloon in West Texas over the next 15 years as the oil and gas industry electrifies operations. The region is already underserved by the already-volatile ERCOT market. Things are going to get interesting! https://lnkd.in/egmFAWxy #VPP #energy

What does the future hold for Alaska's North Slope? 🌍 In April 2024, Lagniappe Alaska LLC announced a significant find at the King Street 1 new-field wildcat (NFW). This discovery, along with other recent finds like Kodiak, Ahpun, and Hickory, is reshaping the landscape of oil and gas exploration in the region. With an estimated 1,200 million barrels of oil equivalent in 2P resources, the potential here is enormous.

The world of oil and gas is a fascinating journey from deep underground to the tip of your gas pump.  Understanding this journey is key to understanding how vital this industry is to our daily lives. Let's break it down into two main parts: upstream and downstream. #AmericanMudPumps #oilgas #upstream #mudpumpparts #ProudDrillers

This is a good read on the potential and the future of CNG!
