  • Hire a sound mixer, my god

    The audio and production quality is absolute trash. Both hosts mumble and whisper and each speaker has a different volume. Does no one at S&P listen to the episodes before they’re published?

  • Laughably SPRish in tone

    The host talks with so little enthusiasm and in hushed tones that I have trouble hearing the context through my headphones, with the volume all the way up. Needs a little life because it’s needlessly dry.

  • Dear host, please wake up for work

    Why is he so sleepy? Great topics and content are ruined by the most unlistenable host in the podcast world. Tell me where to send the Starbucks gift card? Clearly espresso is needed.

  • Not Worth your Time

    I’ve listened to many episodes to see if this is worth listening to regularly. Background: I am an energy professional. I have not heard anything interesting or revelatory in this podcast. The last straw was the CERA week episode. The content was so high level and bland and uninteresting that I’ve decided to remove this show from my list. This is a show where moderators talk to moderators. Would not recommend.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

After the Shock: What's Next for LNG? (Ep. 263)
Q: What caused the MOU between the US and Iran to fail and what was the impact on LNG markets?
The MOU collapsed because key commitments were not followed through by the US and Iran, notably unfrozen funds and broader sanctions relief that would have facilitated a reopening of the Hormuz Strait. As a result, LNG trade continuity was disrupted, Gulf LNG remained constrained, and market uncertainty pushed prices higher as traders anticipated reduced near-term supply.
Talking refining capacity with Phillips 66 (Ep. 260)
Q: And can you explain to what extent the latest results have been driven by market conditions versus operational improvements?
Both factors are tightly linked; the margin environment is a result of high utilization, technology-enabled reliability, and active asset optimization, so strong results come from operating at a high level while benefiting from favorable market conditions.
Marginal utility: Lack of new capacity leads to boom time for North America refining (Ep. 256)
Q: How much is the US typically exporting, and how much of that gap is being filled currently?
Exports have risen to several million barrels per day, with crude exports around 3.5 million barrels per day on average, spiking to about 5.5 million during peak season, then retreating as inventories tighten. The panel notes that while crude exports are high, product exports face constraints due to low inventories, and the SPR draw cannot fully offset the shortage.
South America's Right Turn: The new political map of energy (Ep. 255)
Q: What about energy security in the region—are these shifts mainly about boosting exports, or is there a focus on resilience and domestic energy needs as well?
Energy security is a central consideration in several countries, with some prioritizing domestic oil and gas development to stabilize prices and ensure reliability, while others push for faster export capacity and regional energy integration.
South America's Right Turn: The new political map of energy (Ep. 255)
Q: How does the new political environment affect oil and gas investment, particularly with Argentina's reforms and the RICI incentives?
Argentina's reform drive, including the RICI incentives, has unlocked large-scale investment and enabled infrastructure projects by offering tax and customs incentives, helping to sustain investment despite past capital controls.
