OIL: Chris Wright to Offer More Permissive U.S. Permitting: RBC
OIL
The U.S. energy sector will face a “more permissive permitting environment” under Chris Wright as the Secretary of Energy according to RBC’s head of commodity research Helima Croft.
- “We would expect going forward, less permitting, ease of regulation,” under Wright, Croft said.
- “Bidens LNG permitting pause could be one of the first things to get repealed,” Croft added.
- Croft said higher drilling in the U.S. may be curtailed by capital discipline amongst oil companies rather than be in the hands of eased government regulation.
- Croft added that questions remain over the U.S. ability to sanction Iranian oil now it almost all heads to Chinese refiners.
