Did you know where the phrase "Remember the Alamo" actually comes from?

On a freezing night in March 1836, inside a crumbling San Antonio mission, 26-year-old Colonel William B. Travis drew his sword.

Surrounded by thousands of Mexican troops, with no reinforcements coming, he knew the end was near. He didn't order his men to die. Instead, he drew a single line in the dirt with his blade and gave them a choice: step across and stand with him, or leave in peace.

One by one, legends like Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie stepped over that line. They chose an impossible stand over an easy retreat.

When they fell days later, their sacrifice didn't end the fight, it ignited it. Weeks later at the Battle of San Jacinto, Texas soldiers charged into battle with a thunderous roar that shook the ground: "Remember the Alamo!"

That phrase wasn't born out of defeat. It was born out of an unbreakable grit, an independent spirit, and a willingness to stand tall when the odds are stacked against you.

Nearly two centuries later, that same Texan spirit drives everything we do. We don't back down from hard work, we stand by our word, and we are damn proud to call this state home. 🇨🇱

Funny how certain things do not mean much to you at first… until one day they suddenly do.

Years ago, my partner and the owner here had a close friend, Edward Colarick, come into our office and paint several oil-on-canvas pieces for us. Over time, we ended up with eight or ten of his paintings hanging throughout the office.

There was always one painting in particular that I never quite understood. It depicted Bonnie and Clyde standing beside an old car with an oil field stretching across the background. To me, it always felt a little odd and out of place.

Recently, that painting finally made its way to the wall where I pass it several times a day.

A few days ago, Ed passed away.

At the exact same time, we are preparing to drill one of the larger working interest positions we have taken in quite some time: a new well called the Barrow No. 1, named after the landowner. No relation to Clyde Barrow, of course, but still a remarkable coincidence given the painting hanging on the wall.

Now every time I walk past it, I think about Ed.

What once felt like an odd painting now feels symbolic in a way that is difficult to explain. In our business, timing, risk, hope, and legacy all seem to intertwine from time to time. This one certainly has.

“When one door closes, another opens.”

We have very high expectations for the Barrow No. 1 well, and I hope it becomes a tremendous success. Let that be the big door that opens as Edward’s door has now been closed.

Rest in peace, Ed. Your work and now your memory hangs with us every single day.

I’m not bullish on oil because of sentiment.

I’m bullish because of logistics, inventories, and physical supply risk.

In a world full of “what-ifs,” a few what-ifs matter more than others.

What if inventories are tighter than markets believe?

What if geopolitical headlines are creating a false sense of certainty while kinetic activity continues?

What if supply chains remain strained longer than expected?

What if the Strait doesn’t reopen as quickly as everyone assumes simply because “it has to”?

What if physical oil availability becomes the story instead of paper narratives?

Markets are still pricing in optimism, diplomacy, and normalization. Maybe they’re right.

But if they’re wrong, the repricing could be swift.

This isn’t about fear. It’s about understanding that commodities eventually answer to physical reality. Tankers, inventories, refinery runs, and available barrels matter more than headlines.

My two cents: everything appears to be lining up more bullish than bearish for oil over the coming quarters.

Time will tell.

Friday Morning Oil Market Update: Ahead of Today’s EIA Number

Whether you’re Bullish or Bearish, here we are!

The conventional wisdom right now is simple: an Iran deal gets signed, the Strait of Hormuz fully reopens, and oil crashes back to $70, maybe lower if you listen to the doom-and-gloom crowd.

I’m not convinced it’s that simple.

Take a step back and look at what has actually happened to global supply over the last three months. Hormuz disruptions have materially impacted flows. Major Gulf producers have seen meaningful shut-ins and export interruptions. Global inventories have drawn down significantly, and consuming nations have leaned hard on strategic reserves.

In fact, we’ve recently seen another meaningful draw from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, roughly 9 million barrels underscoring just how aggressively policymakers have leaned on emergency supply to help stabilize markets and pricing.

That doesn’t reverse overnight.

Pipelines and export terminals that have been idled don’t magically restart in a week. Infrastructure damage takes time. Logistics take time. Strategic reserves, once drawn down, take years to rebuild under normal market conditions.

And now we’re firing missiles again!

The market seems to have mostly priced out the “war premium” already. WTI pulled back sharply on deal optimism, only to rebound again as geopolitical tensions resurfaced. We’ve seen that pattern repeatedly.

But here’s the bigger question:

Does a signed agreement erase the supply deficit that has quietly built underneath the headlines?

Even if tensions cool, the regime in Tehran isn’t disappearing. Their economy eventually turns back on, frozen funds get released, and Iranian barrels re-enter a very different global energy market than the one we had in January.

My view? Between now and the midterms, I expect policymakers to do everything possible to keep energy prices contained. Political pressure to bring down oil and gasoline prices will likely be intense.

Post-midterms, however, I think fundamentals start mattering a lot more than headlines.

In my opinion, $100 oil over the next 18–24 months is entirely realistic before we meaningfully revisit $70 crude. Lower inventories, thinner strategic reserves, infrastructure damage, and a reshaped global energy trade picture suggest we may be operating in a very different market than we were just a few months ago.

I’m no savant, despite my Holiday Inn points, but I’ll be watching today’s EIA number closely.

If inventories continue drawing despite all the deal optimism, that tells us something.

Ever wonder why the global oil industry measures crude in "barrels" (bbl) instead of gallons, liters, or cubic meters?

It isn't random; it's a piece of 19th-century history that still rules modern energy markets today!

Here is the quick story behind the standard:

The Chaos: During the 1860s Pennsylvania oil boom, early producers rushed to move crude by wagon and rail using whatever they could find,from whiskey and turpentine casks to fish barrels. The resulting chaos and inconsistent volumes drove buyers crazy.

The 42-Gallon Compromise: By the late 1860s, the industry converged on a practical standard: the 42-gallon barrel. Why? When filled with crude, it weighed roughly 300 lbs., the exact maximum weight a couple of men could reasonably manhandle, roll, and load onto a flatcar.

The "bbl" Mystery: Why the extra "b"? While "bl" stood for barrel, early merchants doubled the letter on shipping manifests to avoid confusion with "bales." Later, John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil painted their guaranteed 42 gallon barrels blue, permanently cementing the "blue barrel" legend.

Today, we move crude through state-of-the-art pipelines and supertankers, but the global financial markets still count every drop in 19th century wooden barrels.

The Energy Sector drives the modern world, but it never forgets its roots!

Texas isn’t just surviving the global energy game: we’re leveraging it.

While headlines focus on volatility overseas and higher prices at the pump, there’s another story unfolding right here at home that many people are missing.

Texas produces oil that sells at global prices while sitting atop some of the cheapest and most abundant natural gas on Earth. That matters.

Affordable Texas natural gas is helping power homes, manufacturing, petrochemical facilities, LNG exports, AI data centers, and the electric grid all while helping keep America competitive.

The Permian Basin isn’t just an oil story anymore. It’s helping fuel American electricity, manufacturing, exports, and economic growth.

This is one of the reasons Texas continues to outperform economically.

As someone in the oil and gas business, I’m proud of this industry and proud to do it here in Texas. We’re not just drilling wells, we’re helping fuel American energy independence, jobs, innovation, and economic strength.

Oil & gas doesn’t need to apologize.

America’s prosperity still runs on energy and Texas leads the way.

I’m not a geopolitical expert, and I’m certainly not a ship captain navigating tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. But you don’t need to stand at the helm to know when the waters are rough.

For months, I’ve been saying the same thing:
You cannot remove millions of barrels per day from the global system, disrupt critical shipping lanes, drain inventories at record pace, and expect the consequences to magically disappear.

Now the IEA is warning about “unprecedented supply shocks.”
JPMorgan and other major institutions are revising forecasts.
Inventories are collapsing.
Jet fuel markets are tightening.
Refineries are under pressure.
And the ripple effects are only beginning.

Energy is not political theater.
It is the foundation underneath transportation, manufacturing, agriculture, logistics, aviation, and modern life itself.

When supply chains break, the consequences don’t stay isolated to oil fields or tanker routes. They spread into inflation, consumer costs, business margins, and ultimately the broader economy.

Some people dismissed these concerns months ago.
Now the numbers are starting to speak for themselves.

This doesn’t unwind in a week.
It doesn’t normalize overnight.
And it certainly doesn’t get fixed with headlines or talking points.

The world is relearning a very old lesson:
Energy security matters.
Infrastructure matters.
Stable supply matters.

And decisions made today always arrive with consequences tomorrow.

05/12/2026

Over the last several months, I’ve increasingly believed the energy markets were underestimating the long-term ripple effects caused by production disruptions, logistical bottlenecks, sanctions, geopolitical instability, and underinvestment across the oil and gas sector.

Recent reports suggesting global inventories may be roughly 1.5 billion barrels behind historical norms, along with newly released EIA data and recent JPMorgan market analysis only reinforce that view.

Too many people continue treating this as a normal commodity cycle. I don’t believe it is that simple.

The market tends to focus heavily on what is happening today, this week, or this quarter. But what happens today directly impacts how the next several years unfold.

You cannot remove, delay, or impair that much production capacity and expect the system to rebalance quickly. The physical oil may still exist in many cases, but if those barrels are stranded, sanctioned, delayed, or unable to efficiently reach the market, they are effectively absent from active supply.

That distinction matters. The global economy runs on fluid energy movement, not simply theoretical reserves sitting somewhere on paper.

Going forward, I believe preparation and long-term positioning will matter far more than short-term reactions.

Did you know?

When drilling an oil & gas well, geologists don’t just rely on high-tech logs, they also study the actual rock cuttings coming up from the well.

This image shows what’s called a hydrocarbon show evaluation tray.

As the drill bit cuts through rock thousands of feet underground, small samples (called cuttings) are brought to the surface. These are examined for signs of oil or gas, things like staining, odor, and fluorescence under UV light.

On the left: normal light, showing how the rock looks at surface
On the right: UV light, highlighting hydrocarbons that may not be visible otherwise

The scale (0 to 4+) reflects the strength of the “show” basically how much hydrocarbon is present in the sample.

But here’s the interesting part…

A strong show doesn’t always mean a productive well. And sometimes, great reservoirs barely show at all.

That’s why geology is as much interpretation as it is science combining data, experience, and real-time decision making to understand what’s happening thousands of feet below the surface.

It’s a process most people never see, but it plays a critical role in how energy projects are evaluated and developed.

Why the UAE Leaving OPEC Matters More Than the Headlines Tell You

Everyone is focused on the conflict in the Middle East and the Strait of Hormuz right now. Prices are high, and things feel volatile, but there is a much bigger story brewing that will impact energy for years to come.

The UAE just announced they are leaving OPEC. This is a massive "crack in the foundation" of the world’s most powerful oil cartel.

Here is my "Two Cents" on what’s actually happening:

The Short Term: Supply is tight because of the war. The UAE has a special pipeline that bypasses the conflict zones, meaning they can get oil out when others can’t. By leaving OPEC now, they are free to pump as much as they want while prices are high.

The Big Shift: We’re moving away from a world where a few countries "control" the price, and back toward a free market. This means more volatility, but it also means more opportunity for those who are agile.

What it means for us in Texas: While the global market is fractured, Texas remains the gold standard for stability. When the world gets messy, investors and buyers look to the U.S. and the Permian because they trust our rule of law and our ability to get things done fast.

We are in an era where "short-cycle" projects (the kind of wells we focus on) are king. Being able to get in, get the oil out, and get paid quickly is the best hedge against global uncertainty.

Instability elsewhere usually proves one thing: There is no better place to be than Texas Energy.
