OPEC+ production has declined by 2.7 m b/d from Sep-2022 to Aug-2023. Global demand, on the other hand, has increased by 2.4 m b/d from Q3-2022 to Q3-2023 although the deficit has been partially offset by a 1.4 m b/d increase in supply by OECD producers, mostly U.S. shale oil. (...) There is little doubt the U.S. Shale Patch is largely responsible for keeping oil markets well supplied and oil prices low.

Brought my Nautilus tail to the Marcellus Shale in northern Pennsylvania to see if we could meet some of their ammonite ancestors. Didn't find any fossils this trip but it rained overnight and the waterfall was full and beautiful. Happy MerMonday! ⛰️🏞️🧜🏻

Ghostly impressions of lives lived long ago - Goniatite fossils in 320 million year old shale. These long extinct relatives of octopus and squid thrived in the ancient ocean that once covered this part of the earths surface. County Clare, Ireland.

i don't have to go out west for colorful #geology! i guess, more #shale (and more)#turbidites from the Normanskill #flysch out on Rt. 135 Troy NY. north america

What happened to this #shale bed? Notice the flat planes switch orientation 90degrees across the fault. Also maybe some ripple marks to th right.

I will post more in a bit, then there's an (#ordovician?) beach exposed a few yards away, and many other layers of history. Very busy place.

Rt 67 Rensselaer Co. NY state north america

I must go back and investigate further

RT @Studio26151: Headed for the NT as the protected gas industry cartel jacks up prices, sucks more gas, pays less tax, releases more co2 — don’t forget the health impacts of #shale #fracking.

The two black anoxic #shale layers are referred to as the Lower and Upper Kellwasser Horizon, which suggest two #extinction events at a short period of time.

A "surprised" looking piece of shale.
Rock burrowing bivalves called Piddocks bore holes in the soft shale layers along the coastline.

RT @EuropeanPan: Hot take, but Europe should've started exploiting #shale gas about a decade ago just like the Americans do. We would've been close to energy independent right now, instead of being hooked on the supply of mass murderers & theocrats.

La famosa Revolución Energética en Estados Unidos llamada fracking para sacar petróleo de Lutitas (shale) resulta que fue un fiasco. La producción está declinando a un ritmo alarmante y no hay manera de compensar la caída con nuevos pozos. Lo están sosteniendo con DUCs

"Let’s say, Trump believes that Putin is flooding the market to hurt the US #shale industry. Okay?

Then why doesn’t [he] just pick up the phone, call Putin & work out a deal? Isn’t that what Mr Wheeler-dealer said he was going to do during his campaign? Whatever happened to 'The Art of the Deal'??

Instead, he'd rather watch 50% of the US shale producers go bankrupt taking down a few banks with them. It makes no sense.

Just pick up the phone, & make a deal, dammit!"
