C.O.B. Tuesday Special Edition On the Road: Brownsville, Texas - The Hub for Humanity's Growth as an Interplanetary Species
With so much in the news recently about the private "Race to Space," you may share a curiosity of ours, and that is "how far along are the commercial space businesses that have planted roots in Texas?" We have specifically been drawn to the exciting developments rapidly unfolding at Boca Chica, Texas just outside Brownsville. Our chance for an in-person tour and expert briefing came when we reconnected with friend, technology entrepreneur, former NASA astronaut, and current President of Robotics and Space Operations at MDA, Tim Kopra.Tim connected us with Brownsville's dynamic mayor Trey Mendez. Trey graciously helped arrange - and both Trey and Tim joined us for - a VIP tour of SpaceX. We walked through both the spaceship assembly plant and the launch site. We were blown away by the sheer scope of what Elon Musk and his team have built in just eighteen months. As we remark in the video, "it looks like a miniature Manhattan."Trey also sat down with us to share his vision for building on this success. With a firm commitment to quality of life, Brownsville aims to attract the world's smartest, most competitive, most forward-looking and most fun businesses and people to this beautiful seaside community on the Gulf of Mexico. Trey, Tim, and everyone in the Brownsville ecosystem are passionate about forging Texas as the launch pad for humanity's permanent off-world research stations and settlements across the universe.We kicked off the session with some great pregame from our team. Mike Bradley walked us through the latest specifics on OPEC+ supply plans and their effect on oil prices. Matt Portillo gave us a preview for earnings season, and Colin Fenton got us in "Space Shape" with some tailored space-oriented observations.Thursday was incredible. Brownsville is experiencing massive growth and transformation. If Cape Canaveral or Huntsville was "the place to be" for aerospace engineers and explorers in the 20th Century, Brownsville surely makes a compelling case as the new frontier heading toward the 22nd Century. We are so excited about the hub for interplanetary exploration that's being built here in South Texas.----------Copyright 2021, Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co.

C.O.B. Tuesday Ep. 72 “Let’s De-Politicize Before We De-Carbonize” Featuring Representative Lizzie Fletcher (TX-07)
Today we had the honor and pleasure of hosting U.S. Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher (D-TX). Representing Texas's Seventh Congressional District - in the greater Houston area which many of us call home, Congresswoman Fletcher is committed to bridging the toxic hyper-partisan divide that puts blind politics ahead of common-sense solutions we can all get behind for the advancement of freedom and happy growth in our world. We commend her positive and collaborative spirit. We had a terrific visit and touched on her constituents' biggest priorities, the enthusiasm behind the quest for Houston to be a leader in the carbon capture space, specific priorities for a large infrastructure ("it's investment not spending"), and more.With us also today is Bobby Tudor, Chairman of TPH, and former Chair of the Greater Houston Partnership, an organization devoted to finding non-partisan solutions to society's most pressing problems. Bobby will not be happy with me for flagging that the esteemed Financial Times of London in an article earlier this week applauded his own efforts to find the right balance between environmentalism and energy in all its forms. The article quotes, "If Houston wants to continue to be the world's leading energy capital, then it's going to need to be a leader in the newer forms of energy."----------Copyright 2021, Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co.

C.O.B. Tuesday Ep. 70 What If Putin Was Hit By A Bus: A Discussion with Dr. Angela Stent
A few weeks ago, President Biden met with Russian President Putin in Geneva for their first summit. Since then, we have searched for a Russian expert - and wow, did we get lucky! We found Dr. Angela Stent, Director of the Center for Eurasian, Russian and East European Studies and Professor of Government and Foreign Service at Georgetown University. Dr. Stent is also a non-resident Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution. As excited as we were, it was even better than what we expected. Her background is so extensive (you may read her full biography here) and there is no angle she hasn't seen. Our discussion crossed many borders and we started with Dr. Stent's latest book, "Putin's World: Russia Against the West and With the Rest." From there, we learned about Putin's childhood, how Russia operates, how they might perceive the energy transition, the Tokyo Olympics, and importantly the relationship between the U.S., Russia and China. We had a wonderful time and can't thank Dr. Stent enough for sharing her knowledge with us.Our TPH crew had some topical items to prepare us for our Russian discussion: Mike Bradley opened with an OPEC+ meeting preview and also reviewed what has happened since their last meeting. Matt Portillo chimed in with a look at equity and natural gas outlook and demand through 2022. Colin Fenton summarized current conditions by pulling 5 main headlines over the past few weeks including Russia, solar, nuclear, climate law and geothermal.We want to sincerely thank Dr. Stent for her time and expertise. Thanks to you all! We hope you enjoy.----------Copyright 2021, Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co.

One year ago, Greentown Labs announced they were expanding to Houston to open their second incubator.

Emily also took us through the incubation process at Greentown and how their alumni continue to be involved post-launch.

Emily was a wonderful and engaging guest.Our TPH expert crew provided today's introduction: Mike Bradley offered some oil and market outlook and analysis and also touched on considerations around inventory for the next few weeks.

C.O.B. Tuesday Ep. 68 "Radical Pro-Environment Thinking" Featuring Greg McLean
This week we had the great opportunity to visit with Greg McLean, Member of Parliament representing Calgary Centre in the Canadian House of Commons. In 2020, Greg introduced a bill to create a non-refundable performance-based tax credit for carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) projects. We took great interest in hearing Greg's story and were very pleased to visit with him.We started with background on Greg's motivation to switch from a career as a portfolio manager to becoming a Member of Parliament and quickly found ourselves entrenched in a discussion around carbon capture, pipelines, Greg's bill, considerations around Canadian oil exports, the future of energy, and the role of Parliament.We kicked off with an update from the TPH crew: Mike Bradley provided an analysis of commodity and natural gas prices and summarized key points from the G7 summit meeting which concluded this week.

C.O.B. Tuesday Special Edition: Live from Hotter 'N Hell featuring Chris Wright - ESG and Me
Yesterday at our annual Hotter 'N Hell Conference, we saw so many of you and absolutely loved it. I think everyone in the room had a sense of "life is back!" and all loved it.We had some phenomenal guests and a broad array of energy flavors up for discussion. The theme I kept finding myself coming back to is there has never been a more fascinating time to be in energy. The issues and opportunities also feel remarkably global again and that is no doubt going to be a big part of the fun.As you will see here, we shot a "live COBT" from the conference featuring Chris Wright. Chris and his team at Liberty have recently released a dramatic new type of ESG report which captures the full extent of energy and the environment in today's world. It is unlike any ESG report that we know of and would encourage all of you to take a look.In the lead-in, Mike, Matt and Colin gave some market and conference-driven thoughts that got our juices flowing. We moved from there to a full on "ESG and Me" conversation with Chris that was fantastic.For those in attendance or virtual yesterday, thank you. It was fantastic to be with you and we frankly value your friendship so much.We hope you have a great weekend and we'll be back with you next week!----------Copyright 2021, Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co.
