This happened at the start of this month, but I looked back and didn't see any posts about it then, and its important to occasionally stop doomposting and remember that concerted action towards a cause can still make a difference, even in today's political environment. Even though Biden had revoked the Trump-issued federal permits for the Keystone XL Pipeline on his first day in office, until June 9 TransCanada had kept the bid open, and so the issue could've been revived at any time, but this means its truly dead now.
Keystone XL would've run from Alberta to a pipeline junction in southern Nebraska via Montana and South Dakota. The proposed route went through treaty lands belonging to various Sioux tribes in South Dakota and through the environmentally-sensitive and agriculturally vital Ogallala Aquifer. The Sioux tribes tribes were primarily concerned about further violation of treaty obligations and the potential for destruction of archaeological artifacts and historic cultural sites in the pipelines path; while environmental groups and Nebraska farmers and ranchers were concerned about the impact to the Aquifer, which provides almost all of Nebraska's agricultural and drinking water, meaning a major oil spill could've turned huge portions of the state into an unlivable and unfarmable wasteland (think Chernobyl exclusion zone but instead of radiation its oil sands sludge).
Although pipeline approval was a major policy point for the national Republican party (and strongly financially incentivized by the Koch brothers), it was strongly disliked in deep-red Nebraska and very controversial (although less so than in Nebraska) in even-deeper-red South Dakota. Opposition to the pipeline came from American Indian and environmentalist groups who largely preferred tactics like sit/stand-ins and handcuffing themselves to machinery and farmers/ranchers who preferred to fire 'warning shots' over work crews (no people were ever shot; eco-fascists would still be proud though) and outright sabotage (I should note that only 90ish miles of pipeline was ever laid before Biden shut it down and I think all of it was in Montana, but a lot of the prep work had started in SD and NE, which is what was being targeted). All parties also hired lawyers who litigated the numerous court cases through pretty much every conceivable
... keep reading on reddit ➡Hey y’all,
I have about 1 year experience at a F100 Tech company and I am a fan of my job- pay and benefits are fantastic, location is good, and people aren’t bad at all. However, I have issues with company culture as well as a lack of passion for the things I’m selling. I also prefer the people of the energy segment and the living locations.
What would be the best way to go about an industry shift to get into the energy sphere? I live close enough to a major manufacturer, and have some people with connections, but I am doubtful as to how much I can leverage them. Am I in a good position to apply for jobs right now? Should I get more experience under my belt and apply for positions? Do some LinkedIn networking? I have a BBQ in Finance if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance!

Today, we released our latest infographic on the state of the petroleum and coal manufacturing industry.Here are a few highlights:
- With the COVID-19 pandemic cutting global demand, sales of petroleum products decreased by 37.4% to $46.1 billion in 2020.
- The pandemic impacted eastern refineries, which account for more than 60% of total production, more than western refineries.
- Sales of petroleum and coal experienced a record-breaking decline in April 2020, making it one of the hardest-hit industries, second only to transportation equipment.

Aujourd’hui, nous avons publié une nouvelle infographie sur l’état de l’industrie de la fabrication de produits du pétrole et du charbon. Voici quelques faits saillants :
- Par suite de la baisse de la demande mondiale provoquée par la pandémie de COVID-19, les ventes de produits du pétrole ont diminué de 37,4 % en 2020 pour s’établir à 46,1 milliards de dollars.
- Les raffineries de l’Est, lesquelles représentent plus de 60 % de la production totale, ont été plus durement touchées que celles de l’Ouest.
- Les ventes de produits du pétrole et du charbon ont affiché une baisse record en avril 2020, ce qui en fait l’une des industries les plus durement touchées, juste derrière celle des produits du matériel de transport.

27M. I have a petroleum engineering degree and I work as a field engineer on drilling rigs. I have 3.5 years of experience, 2.5 years in the US and one year in the middle east (currently working here). I joined this field because that's what every one else in my family does pretty much. The money is pretty good but I'm extremely unhappy, the work is very tough and the industry is very unstable.
Basically I want to get out of this industry and start over in something new (in the US) and would love any advice on what career paths I should look into with my qualifications. Thanks!
I'm a senior petroleum engineering student (I know hahaha I'm so dumb) graduating this spring and wondering if I should not try to get into the O&G industry and instead focus my job search elsewhere, on the logic that if engineers with years or decades of experience and connections can't get hired after looking for months then I might as well not even try. No, my dad does not own an oil company although I have a lot of loose connections in the industry that I don't know very well.
Hi all you qualified engineers, I'm a 17 year old student studying for his GCSE A Levels right now. I saw being a petroleum engineer as a viable career path seeing that I really like chemistry, physics and maths However, I've also been reading articles that say the industry has been taking major hits and will continue to. On the other hand I've also been seeing articles asserting that gas engineering isn't going anywhere

I apologise if this is a stupid question, I'm very much not well-informed. I just wanted to hear some perspectives from the professionals
I don’t have a well thought out DD other than recent experience. We are developing a few buildings and anything that has petroleum in it has the price going sky high. Piping, paints, etc... our contractor told us today because of the Texas storms and oil prices, it’s a double whammy. Not sure how this fine sub could benefit from the news, but figured I’d share it.
On a side note, I do wish Vale, MT, and X would hurry up and jump 30% in one day for all my calls.
