  • ExxonMobil in Trinidad, Presidio goes public, AI data centers, Putin & Zelensk | BDE 08.22.25
    Aug 22 2025

    Exxon’s latest play in Trinidad and Tobago is a big one, 2,700 square miles of offshore exploration rights that could reshape energy in the Western Hemisphere. Chuck and Mark break it all down: why this territory matters, how seismic programs are setting the stage for massive discoveries, and what it could mean geopolitically as deepwater exploration heats up. Along the way, they get into industry trends, SPACs, policy shake-ups, and even share some personal stories that keep the conversation grounded. It’s a mix of big-picture strategy and boots-on-the-ground perspective on why projects like this matter for the future of energy.

  • Crude is down, Trump & Putin, EPA CO2 repeal, Enverus sale | BDE 08.11.25
    Aug 12 2025

    Orsted’s massive $9.5 billion rights offering has the wind power world buzzing and not in the way they’d like. Chuck and Mark unpack how the company got here, from ballooning costs and tangled supply chains to rising interest rates that make financing a nightmare. They look at why the Danish government is stepping in with a taxpayer-backed bailout, what it means for big-ticket projects like Sunrise Wind off Long Island, and how turbine lifespan concerns add another layer of risk. It’s a no-fluff look at the collision of green energy ambitions with political, financial, and regulatory reality and why this moment could reshape the future of wind power.

  • BP hits their biggest oil discovery in a decade | BDE 08.06.25
    Aug 6 2025

    BP just hit what might be their biggest oil discovery in a decade, and it’s turning heads. We’re talking about a massive hydrocarbon column in Brazil’s Santos Basin, promising structure, but also some tricky CO2 and infrastructure questions that could slow things down. We unpack what this means for BP’s game plan going forward, especially as they try to thread the needle between growth and transition. And if you're into energy market shakeups, this one’s worth your radar. Plus, a little teaser: we’re hosting a live session Monday to talk through all the hot headlines and answer your questions in real time.
