Exactly, there should be a deposit or some form of a down payment made by these producers so the cost doesn't just fall on taxpayers again (since we already subsidise them so much). Alternatively, O&G producers could opt for depositing a portion of the cost every month or quarter in a similar manner to how margins get posted for OTC derivatives. In any case, I'm tired of seeing my tax dollars subsidising these companies AND cleaning up behind their ungrateful asses.

Glad to see you mention ESG, they are fantastic options for the environmentally/socially conscious, but on the flipside because they are less leveraged on oil stocks and other questionable industries (e.g. private prisons, tobacco, munitions), potential growth and revenue generated from these sectors being excluded from ESG holdings may not be in everyone's cup of tea.

Hello Richard! I have a suggestion for a future topic: could you please explain how bond ETFs work? I think they are not as straightforward as stock ETFs. How are bonds held within the fund? Do they mature? If not, how are they rolled over? Can you also explain different types of bond ETFs , how they work (years to maturity, inflation linked bonds, etc.) and how is a bond ETF affected by interest rates. Are government bond ETFs a good alternative to having your cash parked in a zero interest bank account? Thank you!

Hopefully, but the problem was having such a protected industry is it never needs to innovate because it’s too big to fail. That’s half of the battle with all of this stuff. Places who got to the top and turned into monopolies talking about the virtues of the free market, but they refuse any kind of competition that would see them have to change in the slightest

good stuff

North American countries have a "Royalty Tax" PSC (Production Sharing Contract, a contract between the government and the producer) which gave a lot more freedom to their Producers on how much they could mine, who can they sell it to, and how they are priced. Other countries uses "Iran" style PSC, Gross Split PSC, and the most common one is Cost-Recovery PSC. Basically the government owns the resources, they contract them to extract them, then split the revenue/profits and costs. This is a much less profitable yet risk averse than the NA "Royalty Tax" system. Other than US shale being the more expensive method of producing, their relatively deregulated way of O&G EP causes them to be extremely sensitive to price changes than other countries. This is why most NA O&G (outside of the major player) would face bankruptcies while the rest of the world O&G company would fare better in this times.

A level headed look into this issue.

What companies? They dissolve, that's the outcome of bankruptcy in many of these cases. Perhaps a better strategy would be requiring payments similar to unemployment insurance to a firm or gov't agency to handle cleanup in the event of insolvency. The agency would need to perform site inspections, of course, and adjust premiums accordingly. A poorly managed site would be considerably more expensive to restore. Research the EPA Superfund sites for more on the cost of restoring contaminated areas after industry bails.

Here's what's (most likely) going to happen: some oil producers will go bust which will reduce supply. Once the pandemic's over we will return to our habits ie. driving and flying. If anything, in post pandemic optimism there will be more of those things than before so the demand will increase. And what happens when there's demand but no supply? Prices go up. Or shoot up even.

Also jobs in the oil sector are highly paid, so each job in the oil industry supports many jobs indirectly.

Question, if you don't mind. Don't you think that all this money printing we're doing, where we almost doubled M2 in months, will lead to hyper-inflation? Where will all this money go in a stagnated economy otherwise?!

I wouldn’t call it low oil prices, but somewhat negative, when it’s price minus Production cost is very negative.

Oil contracts in April went negative

It’s either the free market or it’s not, it’s either lower prices are good for the consumers or it’s not. Because the alternative is saying, this industry is untouchable. Whatever happened to competing and innovating? If anything this just proves that large sectors of economies shouldn’t be reliant on one thing.

That is all very interesting and all, but my country is neither the US nor Canada, and it produces almost 0 oil, so..... cheap energy?

You're going to economically destroy parts of the US if you wipe out the energy sector quickly, which is what could have happened with the current oil price war and COVID situation.

The energy density of Western Canadian Select is half of what sweet crude is. It requires that we cannibalize our natural gas resources earmarked for export to the U.S in order to thaw the ground to remove the bitumen (it's not oil). We then use enormous amounts of fresh water to clean and separate this garbage only to fill gigantic tailings ponds with the waste byproduct. Then it gets run through an upgrader to add a hydrogen molecule so that it is useful for the refinement process to make gasoline and other fuels (its synthetic crude at this point). It completely decimates the environment for a product the world has very little interest in. How this has been allowed to become a national security issue is something I'll never understand. Canada has been terrible at managing this so-called resource and its environmental effects have long-lasting impact on too many things to make it useful .... leave it in the ground where it belongs!

People don’t understand this. Money doesn’t come out of nowhere. Cut off the flow and everyone eventually feels it in the form of lowered employment numbers, lowered wages, and less tax revenue.

I love The Plain Bagel but with due respect this is very misleading. The jobs in oil have little to do with price. If demand returns, activity will return regardless of price. Same with the banking sector - O&G loans defaults will simply mean it get turned into equity in the restructured companies that emerge... pretty good for the banks TBH. Finally orphaned wells are pretty rare these days - stripper wells account for 3MMBOE/Day, nearly a quarter of US production. Low oil prices make rig services really cheap and so when demand picks up there’ll be a huge rush to pick up these “orphaned wells” if there even are any.
