Marianne Horinko, President of the Horinko Group, Washington, DC and former Acting Administrator of the EPA, and I will be co-hosting the 22nd Annual International Energy Policy (IEPC) Conference event on Thursday, November 13th, 2014 in Washington, DC.

The conference was founded in 1992. I founded and continue to chair the annual event. The purpose of the conference is to bring stakeholders together from not only the energy sector but also concerned citizens, representatives from government, agriculture, education, environment, business, students and others.

Issues that will be addressed include: hydraulic fracturing, federal legislation, water preservation, endangered species, and federal regulations.

Marianne Horinko and I made presentations on the subject of “Energy, Environment and Politics” in late 2012. The presentations were the kick-off of the Mentoring Environment and Energy Together (MEET) Mentor-Protégé Program held at Devon Energy’s headquarters in Oklahoma City. Participants also visited a Devon Energy drilling and hydraulic fracturing well site.

This effort builds on The Horinko Group’s release of its comprehensive white paper on the current and future environmental, regulatory, and legal issues tied to horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing and upon my book, “America Needs America’s Energy: Creating Together the People’s Energy Plan”.

IEPC has had several honorary conference chairs including former UN Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick who served three times, US Senator Don Nickles, and US Ambassador Saudi Arabia Robert Jordan.

The conference has been hosted by various sponsors, corporations and organizations since its founding including The Oklahoma Royalty Company, The Energy Advocates, the Oklahoma State Chamber of Commerce, the US Department of Energy, Sarkeys Energy Center at the University of Oklahoma, People to People International, and the American Gas Association.
The involvement of these organizations has contributed to the conference’s success.

Past conferences have been held in Washington, DC, Tulsa, Denver, Dallas, Houston and Oklahoma City.

The theme of the first conference and continues to be at the forefront of the conference each year is “Striving for Energy Efficiency and Environmental Preservation”.

This year’s event will focus on 1) prioritizing energy usage, 2) establishing guidelines for environmental preservation, 3) achieving energy efficiency both residentially and businesses, 4) developing and maintaining energy infrastructure and 5) creating a working energy sustainability plan(s) and goal(s).

“Business Opportunities in Mexico’s Energy Sector” is the topic of the 1st Mexico Energy and Business Forum. It will be presented by Mexico Energy and Business Magazine and held in Dallas, Texas on July 2nd, 2014. My company is one of the hosts of the event.

I continue the message that “America Needs America’s Energy”. I have also advocated that the US needs a secure neighbor in Mexico.

The forum is designed to discover the latest developments in Mexico’s energy sector. The panels of US and Mexico experts will provide information on business opportunities, research, findings and highlight the major breakthroughs as well as challenges facing this sector today.

The program will include the following subjects: why invest in Mexico today, the energy forum is a legislative panorama- update on the secondary laws drafted by Mexico’s Congress that will dictate contract logistics, welcoming the private sector to the energy industry- types of contracts to be award by the National Hydrocarbon Commission to Pemex and private entities, as well as roles the electricity sector and other energy industries will play, and doing business in the energy sector in Mexico- the energy reform approved by Mexico’s Congress has sparked optimism and confidence among investors, despite expected challenges, the overall sentiment is that the economy will improve significantly in the coming years.

Speakers as of this writing include the chief executive for the Mexico Federal Electricity Commission, the president of the energy commission in the Senate, Pemex executives, commissioner for the Mexico Energy Regulatory Commission and the minister of the energy commission/Mexico Congress.

As I have mentioned in past columns, several years ago, I had the opportunity of serving on an advisory committee appointed by the Mexico Trade Commissioner who was based in the Dallas, Texas regional office. The advisory committee’s focus was trade and tourism between Mexico and the US.

One issue that was addressed was US and Mexico relations. Since 1938, Mexico has been under strict governmental guidelines with no privatization in place. In August of 2013, the President of Mexico proposed a plan to open its oil and gas sector to foreign investments through private-public partnerships. With US technology and expertise, Mexico and North America could potentially benefit in a very positive way. A more secure Mexico means much to the America’s security.

The forum will provide Mexican lawmakers and senators the opportunity to explain the latest regulatory and legislative laws approved by Mexico’s Congress and allow input on potential US energy sector involvement. For information about attending or other forum details, please contact me at mark@thegtdgroup.com.

The energy sector, especially the oil and gas industry, is facing many legislative and regulatory challenges.

According to the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers, the Attorney General for Texas, for example, has filed twenty-four lawsuits that include, in part:

1) Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) rule that imposes new standards on oil and gas operations, including emission reductions during completions on wells that have been fractured, which is also known as “green completions”.

2) EPA’s disapproval of Texas Regional Haze plan.

3) EPA’s designation of Wise County as an ozone non-attainment area.

4) EPA’S Mercury and Air Toxics Standards rule.

5) EPA’s Cross-State Air Pollution rule.

6) EPA’s greenhouse gas state implementation plan and the disapproval of Texas’ flexible permit rule.

7) The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s rule that compelled intrastate natural gas pipelines to make daily Internet posts about the intrastate business practices. — The Obama administration has put together an interagency working group to coordinate agency policy activities of 13 bureaucracies that deal with oil and gas issues.

The Texas Alliance of Energy Producers goes on to report that “invasive, unnecessary changes to current operational procedures for oil and gas activities have been proposed or adopted by numerous federal agencies. For example:

1) The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has proposed regulations to mandate permitting for oil and gas producers before performing hydraulic fracturing, and before diesel fuel can be used in drilling and completion operations.

2) The Environmental Protection Agency has revised its New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) of fractured natural gas completions and storage tank requirements.

3) EPA’s Clean Water Act Effluent Limitation guidelines for produced water, developed regulations for oil and gas activities on “waters of the United States,” and promulgate guidance related to seismic activity.

Dr. John Deutch, former US Deputy Secretary of Defense, former Director of Central Intelligence under President Clinton, professor at MIT and who was interviewed and greatly assisted with the film/documentary “The Grand Energy Transition” which I co-produced, states “a big deal has happened in the United States—a big deal for the United States and for the rest of the world—and that is the explosion of unconventional oil and gas resources and production.”

It is important that a balance between energy and environment be reached along with being maintained. America needs America’s energy and America needs to preserve its environment. How the oil and gas industry manages and addresses the energy and environmental concerns facing America should and will remain front and center.

Thomas A. Carr, an expert witness, testified before the US Commerce Committee in 1974 and stated, “the word ‘energy’ incidentally equates with the Greek word for ‘challenge.’ I think there is much to learn in thinking of our federal energy problems in that light. Further, it is important for us to think of energy in terms of a gift of life.”

During a recent visit to Washington, DC, I found that the mood of the odds for passage of major overhauls of the US tax code by Congress in 2014 was not optimistic. The main reason was the upcoming elections.

Note the following as noted by World Alliance for Decentralized Energy (WADE):

The Obama budget proposes –

1) Permanently extend the production tax credit (PTC) and, starting with projects that begin construction in 2015, the PTC would become a refundable credit, reducing the need for investors to offset taxes. The PTC would become available for electricity directly consumed by producers as well as electricity sold, and solar projects would become PTC-eligible in 2015.

2) The investment tax credit (ITC) would be repealed for projects placed in service after 2016. This applies for both the current 30% temporary credit and the 10% permanent credit.

3) The credit for second generation biofuels would be extended to 2020 and then gradually repealed by 2024. The 30% tax credit for investments in eligible property used in a qualifying advanced energy project, currently limited to total credits of $2.3 billion, would have additional credit authority of $2.5 billion.

4) Multiple provisions would reduce or eliminate tax benefits for oil and natural gas producers. This includes repeal of the Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) credit; the credit for marginal well; expensing of intangible drilling costs, deduction for tertiary injectants; exception for passive loss limitation for working interests in oil and natural gas properties; percentage depletion for oil and natural gas wells; and, domestic manufacturing deduction for oil and natural gas production.

House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI) budget proposes –

1) The credits available for alcohol fuels and alternative fuels (which expired at the end of 2011) and for biodiesel and second generation biofuels (which expired at the end of 2013) would not be extended and therefore effectively repealed.

2) The PTC would be reduced and then eliminated for generation of electricity from wind, biomass and other renewable resources.

3) The ITC for construction of solar and other renewable energy facilities would be repealed. The repeal would affect the tax credit for projects that are completed after 2016, including those that claim the ITC in lieu of the PTC.

4) Repeal of other renewable and alternative tax credits.

5) Repeal of oil and natural gas incentives, including the EOR credit; the credit for marginal wells; exception to passive loss limitation for working interests in oil and gas properties; and percentage depletion for oil and gas wells.

It does not look likely that either President Obama’s or Representative Camp’s proposals will be passed as a whole. However, it is possible that some of the tax reform proposals could be included in other must-pass bills to offset future spending programs or to provide tax credits, according to WADE.

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics states that the number of news jobs in the oil and gas sector has increased by 270,000 between the years 2003 and 2012. The oil and natural gas industry is a driving force in America’s economy. We need to support our oil and natural gas industry. This support leads to America’s Energy Security!

Recently, I completed reading a book entitled, “The Metropolitan Revolution” written by Bruce Katz and Jennifer Bradley. The book is about how cities and metros are fixing what the authors describe as “our broken politics and fragile economy”.

There are many sectors and issues addressed in the book. The outlook for America’s energy usage and planning is one of the sectors/issues addressed.

There is the definite push worldwide for “energy sustainability”. Energy efficient technologies are at the forefront of discussion.

According to the authors, “more than 6 billion people are expected to populate cities and metropolitan areas over the next several years, smart and sustainable municipal services, will be in high demand.” They go on to say, “cities and metropolitan areas in the United States are well positioned to continue to be at the center of the nation’s clean economy.” It is interesting that the authors use the word “clean”. Natural gas is definitely clean and abundant.

The book provides several statistics that I found interesting, including: 1) the largest metros in the US are home to 78 percent of the jobs in solar energy, 80 percent in wind energy, and 83 percent of the jobs in energy research, engineering and consulting services. This book finds, therefore, challenges that smaller communities will face in order to be competitive or they could be left behind.

I found this book to be a tool for important dialogue not only for metropolitan areas but also for any towns and cities across the US. Leaders who have vision and foresight for their communities are needed.

In planning for America’s energy future, the book points out that “over the past century, the average size of a household declined from 4.60 persons in 1900 to 3.38 in 1950 to 2.58 in 2010…in 1983 nearly half of young Americans had a driver’s license; today, only 29 percent do.” So there is definitely a shift in energy usage in America’s future.

According to one study, the projection is “that the total investment required in transportation, electricity, water, and other infrastructure to keep pace with population growth in emerging market cities in Asia and Latin America over the next twenty years will be $30-40 trillion—about 60-70 percent of the total global investment in infrastructure.” Therefore, America’s energy expertise will play an important role as well as to our own energy usage.

Despite all the concerns related to the moving parts of the energy industry and future energy usage, there is good reason to be optimistic. Right now we are seeing a shale play throughout the country.

As Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick stated “the elements of our (country) strengths are many. They include our democratic government, our economic system, & our natural resources.”

Bottom-line, America’s energy future is in our hands. We need to make plans. President George Washington stated, “A people…who are possessed of the spirit of commerce, who see and who will pursue their advantages, may achieve almost anything.”

Things are changing, shifting. We need to be the leaders of the opportunities ahead. Together we can Create the People’s Energy Plan! Go to www.peoplesenergyplan.com to join the effort.

“2014: The New Energy Revolution” was the recent topic of a presentation by William A. Mogel, Partner of Mogel & Sweet, Washington, DC at the University of Tulsa College of Law.

William (Bill) Mogel who is a long-time friend asked that I attend this presentation. Bill was the Founding Editor-in-Chief of Energy Law Journal.

Bill began his presentation with a quote from Daniel Yergin “the development of shale gas and tight oil in the United States constitutes an ‘unconventional revolution,’ owing to its scale and speed. It is already having a profound global impact: upending energy markets, reshaping competitiveness in the world economy as a whole, and portending major shifts in global politics.”

Some of the facts Bill presented were: Shale Gas –

1) In the US, fracking began in 1940; today, 35,000 wells fracked per year,

2) shale gas accounts for ½ US production (65 Bcf/d), and

3) thousands of new jobs created.

Shale Oil –

1) US production increased 60% since 2008 to 3 million barrels/year,

2) Imports are down from 1.6 mb/d in 2006, and

3) US Congress is considering 1970s export ban on domestic crude. LNG Exports- US is switching from being an importer to an exporter.

Bill emphasized the importance of natural gas. The environmental impact of moving to natural gas is significant. By 2040, Bill states that 60% of additions to power generation will be fueled by natural gas.

He stated that the challenge ahead is that America has 5% of the world’s population but consumes 20% of the world’s energy. The energy policy needed will embrace efficiency, technology and infrastructure which he believes leads to the use of natural gas. Utility fuel switching means cleaner power plants. National security and the balance of payments are important parts of the equation.

He quotes US Senator Lisa Murkowski who states that America needs “more production, clean energy technology, an improved energy delivery infrastructure, effective government oversight, environmental responsibility and an energy policy that pays for itself.” United States energy independence is now possible. The world energy trade market is not going to vanish but the strangleholds, i.e. OPEC, Russian gas are less powerful.

The new revolution brings economic benefits:

1) Increased economic security for the US,

2) Less dependence on unstable foreign markets, and

3) Increased domestic manufacturing.

As I stated in my book, “America Needs America’s Energy: Creating Together the People’s Energy Plan”, “future generations are depending on us to keep the American dream alive. We need this energy revolution and we must be the leaders. Our national security has long been one of the assets we cherish, and we cannot afford to continue relying on foreign nations to fulfill our energy needs or miss the opportunity to create a forward-thinking infrastructure that will support the American way of life. Energy is the future of America and America Needs America’s Energy!”

Question: As US Senator Mary Landrieu, D-LA., recently became the chair of the US Senate’s Energy and Natural Resources Committee do you expect her to be an effective chair of the committee?

Answer: Senator Landrieu has a history of knowledge and understanding of energy and environmental issues confronting the energy industry. She has been a strong advocate of the energy industry.

Question: The State of Alaska is moving forward with a plan for a $50 billion “All-Alaskan Gas Pipeline” (AAGP). What is the status of this project?

Answer: The project will take “stranded gas” from the North Slope to the Kenai Peninsula to a LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) facility. From the facility/port LNG will be exported to Asian markets. The project is estimated to take six year to construct.

Question: In January of this year, there was the alert that there was the threat of a power outage in Texas, is this true?

Answer: Yes, this past January, a warning went out that it was important that reduction of electric usage was needed. The risk of power outages was strongly possible. According to an article by Loren Steffy, “in January, power plants unexpectedly went offline when the state needed them most. This time blackouts were averted, but barely”. He goes on to state “as the threat of rolling blackouts in winter and summer demonstrates, Texas isn’t producing enough electricity to meet our needs.”

Question: Is OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) still a threat?

Answer: OPEC is not as strong a threat as in the past. As Daniel Yergin stated in an article in the Wall Street Journal, October 15, 2013, “the real lesson of the shock of 1973 and the second oil shock set off by the overthrow of Iran’s Shah in 1979 is that they provided incentives—and imperatives—to develop new resources…Imports reached 60% of domestic consumption in 2005, but they are now down to 35%…As the US imports less oil it also produces more to the benefit of energy security.”

Question: What are Intangible Drilling and Development Costs (IDC)?

Answer: They are costs incurred in preparing well locations, drilling and deepening wells, and preparing wells for initial production up through the point of installing control valves. None of these functions, because of their nature, have salvage value. Such costs would include labor, transportation, consumable supplies, drilling tool rentals, site clearance and similar costs.

Question: Why is there the use of hydraulic fracturing?

Answer:
1) To increase productivity (the volume of oil or gas produced from the well),

2) In terms of shale formations, it is perhaps the only way to complete a commercial well, and

3) to enhance the cumulative reserves ultimately recovered from the well.

The International Society of The Energy Advocates, “The Energy Advocates”, www.energyadvocates.org was founded in 1974, forty years ago this spring, by a group of American oil executives in response to the 1973-74 oil embargo. The mission of The Energy Advocates is to inform the general public about our vital energy industry and energy policy issues. Since 1974 members of The Energy Advocates have spoken in all fifty states and appeared on television, radio, and in newspapers and magazines on behalf of the energy industry. The organization believes that it is critical for those of us in the energy industry to rise to the challenge and make a difference when it comes to energy issues. I had the honor of serving as president of Tulsa-based organization from 2003 to 2009 and have been a member for twenty years of its forty years history.

The goal of The Energy Advocates is to raise awareness and change the public’s perception of the energy industry. For too long many have painted a misleading and false picture of the energy business. The Energy Advocates continually educates the public while improving the industry’s image through forums, community involvement, speeches, seminars, media coverage, annual energy conferences, and resources on its website.

The Energy Advocates believe in the basic principle that “nothing moves without energy.” Therefore, education begins by recognizing that energy is a basic requirement of life. Our quality of life is dependent upon the development of all forms of energy, as well as the conservation of our natural resources. The facts are clear: energy production and consumption work in concert with the environment. The organization is passionate about presenting the public with facts and solutions to tough questions on the energy issues that face the United
States, including those related to our environment.

In 2012, for example, The Energy Advocates took the message to communities throughout the United States. We wanted to learn what was on people’s minds. From a national perspective, it should be-creating the People’s Energy Plan.

The challenge is for citizens, the industry, media, and others to maintain a continuing dialogue so that an energy policy of the people, by the people, and for the people can be implemented. And that implementation needs to take place, now, not to be put off to another time.

Another objective of The Energy Advocates is keeping the membership and general public informed of the changing legislative, environmental, and economic issues that impact the energy industry. As global demands for energy from natural resources respond to social, economic, and environmental factors, it is important to continue to inform and enlighten the public about the need for a vibrant energy industry.

As the information presented in my book, “America Needs America’s Energy: Creating Together the People’s Energy Plan” makes it clear, America’s energy industry has an infrastructure that must be updated, and increasing numbers of drilling permits could create thousands of jobs and add billions of dollars to the US gross domestic product. These permit increases would add revenue to state and federal budgets and in the end reduce spending on foreign oil by $15 billion. To accomplish these goals, though, requires money. It will take an accommodation of both the public and the private sectors to come together for the solutions, so we definitely have to have the marriage of both, but also a policy in place. We must set the agenda for energy, starting today.

US Senator Richard S. Lugar stated it best: “Good policy emerges from serious debate, informed by the facts. Today, we need bold new approaches for forging bipartisan coalitions.”

A December, 2011 editorial in The Oklahoman stated, “The default setting for a national energy policy in this country is inertia. We don’t do much to advance a policy to promote great independence. We actually do some things to promote great reliance on foreign supplies. But mostly we sit around and talk about the need for a comprehensive energy plan. While we’re talking, the supply is walking and it’s moving west, from the Middle East to America. Decreasing foreign oil dependence is happening by default and it’s happening because of technology and free enterprise and despite US government policy and interference.”

The important point of the editorial is critical. Because of the recent increase in production in the US, there are strong rumblings that the government may start taxing oil and gas companies on the exploration and production sides of it. So now we are in a position where we find this wondrous new discovery but faced with new taxes and regulations to burden the oil and gas industry. Since the US oil and gas industry has been on route to find the equivalent of Saudi Arabian oil, the US needs to make certain we have the right incentives in place.

Bottom-line, a strong energy industry means more jobs and a more secure economy. Thirty-seven years ago, I began a journey in the energy industry. Hopefully we will leave a great energy industry in place for future generations. It is up to us!

Creating Together the People’s Energy Plan includes the US becoming less dependent on foreign oil, protecting the environment, striving for energy efficiency and making plans to share our expertise with world in order that other countries and its people can have the needed energy.

It is time we come together: The US has the immediate challenge of striving for energy independence but also, global energy security for others. It is extremely important that the US be in a strong position of securing energy reserves within its own boundaries. Therefore, we need a plan. The US needs energy security.

At the 2009 International Energy Policy Conference, www.energypolicyconference.com, one of our featured speakers was Mary Eisenhower, CEO/President of People to People International, (PTPI) www.ptpi.org. As chairman of the board of directors at that time of worldwide operations, I stated at the end of her remarks that it was a personal goal of mine, at some point, to begin an initiative to support energy for the world.

There are so many children and families throughout the world that do not have access to energy as we have in the US. There are reportedly 3.5 billion people that need proper access to energy resources and there are millions that die each year that don’t have needed energy. I believed then as I do now that it should be a concerted effort to provide energy for the world.

According to ExxonMobil’s forecasting, there will be 2 billion more people on the planet and a 130% larger economy by the year 2040. Therefore, the energy needs will increase.

Food, water and energy are very essential around the globe. Air-conditioning, heating, refrigeration for food, medicine and blood supplies are needed throughout the world.

A child, in his or her learning years, needs energy sources which provide adequate access to electricity for proper lighting in order to read. Energy access should be attainable globally. Unfortunately, energy access is not available to everyone.

The average American uses five times more energy than the average global citizen. One study specifically links improvement in life expectancy, educational attainment and per capita income to energy use.

On a People to People International/Operation International Children mission to Haiti in 2011, I met with representatives from the U. S. Embassy who provided me disturbing statistics about Haiti, statistics within our Hemisphere: 70% of the population was unemployed, 70% were illiterate, life expectancy for men was 29 and for women, age 30. And a major concern was the lack of an energy infrastructure which could dramatically change these statistics in a positive way.

America Needs America’s Energy has been my theme and continues my theme along with the last part of the theme, Creating Together the People’s Energy Plan. America Needs America’s Energy: Creating Together the People’s Energy Plan include the factors that the US becomes less dependent on foreign oil, protection of the environment be maintained, striving for energy efficiency be an ultimate goal and that plans to share our expertise with world in order that other countries and its people can have the needed energy be implemented.

It is time we come together: The US has the immediate challenge of striving for energy independence but also, global energy security for others. It is extremely important that the US be in a strong position of securing energy reserves within its own boundaries. Therefore, we need a plan. The US needs energy security.
