Colorado’s natural gas fight signals a bigger energy debate

May 11, 2026

(By Oil & Gas 360) – Colorado’s latest energy battle is quickly becoming about more than natural gas. What began as a proposed ballot measure to create a constitutional “right to natural gas” is now evolving into a broader debate over energy policy, consumer choice, electrification, affordability, and the pace of transition. At the center of the dispute is Initiative

April 30, 2026

(By Oil & Gas 360) – In just over 60 days, the Iran war didn’t just rattle markets; it physically removed a massive volume of oil from the global system, a shock that continues to ripple through pricing, logistics, and investor expectations and is now approaching a scale few thought possible. Since the conflict began in late February, more than

American diplomacy and energy first: Power, policy, constraint, and consequence at the turn of the century

April 30, 2026

(Oil & Gas 360) – Long before energy became an explicit instrument of American diplomacy, it functioned as a form of state capacity. At the turn of the twentieth century, the United States produced more crude oil than the rest of the world combined. This dominance was not the product of treaties or alliances but of geology, capital formation, and

U.S. Drill More: How Washington is pulling every energy lever at once

April 28, 2026

(Oil & Gas 360) By Greg Barnett, MBA – The United States is producing more crude oil than any country ever has, rebuilding its emergency petroleum buffer, exporting record volumes of crude and fuels to allies, and still confronting stubbornly high gasoline prices at home.

Why Mississippi still has no LNG export terminal, and why that may change

April 24, 2026

(Oil & Gas 360) By Greg Barnett, MBA – Texas has LNG export terminals. Louisiana has many. The United States is now the world’s largest exporter of liquefied natural gas. Mississippi, despite its Gulf Coast location and long history with energy infrastructure, has none. At first glance, that absence appears anomalous. Mississippi sits between two LNG powerhouses, has access to major

Louisiana LNG: The quiet comeback driving global gas markets

April 23, 2026

(By Oil & Gas 360) – Louisiana didn’t just participate in the U.S. natural gas boom. It built the export engine that turned it global. A decade after the first cargo left Sabine Pass, the state is once again at the center of a new phase, one that looks less like a cyclical recovery and more like a structural resurgence of

LNG exports: Policy versus the market in America’s gas superpower era

April 22, 2026

(Oil & Gas 360) By Greg Barnett, MBA – For most of the modern energy era, the United States was viewed as a permanent importer of natural gas. That assumption collapsed in 2016, when LNG cargo Asia Vision departed Louisiana’s Sabine Pass terminal, marking the first large‑scale export of shale‑era U.S. natural gas. In less than a decade, the United States
