Last month’s blockbuster $4 billion @BLMNational lease sale signaled a new era of federal oil and natural gas development. Read our latest blog on why establishing permit predictability is critical to securing energy affordability 👇 axpc.org/education-resource/…

Harnessing U.S. shale fundamentally transformed the global energy landscape and diminished the influence of exporters like Russia and Saudi Arabia. With U.S. producers responsible for most of the growth in global oil supply over the past 15 years, America has benefited from record energy exports and greater resilience against energy shocks.

The argument for restricting LNG exports has always been unfounded. America’s response to the Middle East crisis proves exports are critical to meeting global demand without raising prices at home. AXPC CEO Anne Bradbury breaks down the data 👇 realclearenergy.org/articles…

For years, critics warned that LNG exports would come at American expense. With domestic natural gas prices unaffected by a surge in exports, the Middle East crisis is proving just the opposite. AXPC CEO Anne Bradbury writes why it’s time to build more and fully harness America’s energy abundance. realclearenergy.org/articles…

When it comes to an oil export ban, @ACGlobalEnergy’s @bencahillenergy gets it right 👇
If the Strait of Hormuz remains closed and gasoline prices increase further, US policymakers might consider banning oil exports. But instead of lowering prices, it could have the opposite effect, writes @ACGlobalEnergy’s @bencahillenergy: atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/en…

.@TheAXPC members are a driving force behind America’s energy dominance, but a broken federal permitting system hinders them. North Dakota and the nation’s energy producers need a durable fix to meet our nation’s growing demand and supercharge our economic output.

Onshore producers are on track to invest $250B in 2026 to power America's energy advantage. For @Diamondback_EP, that means drilling over 500 wells a year just to maintain current production levels. CEO Kaes Van't Hof discusses the increasing focus to unlock well productivity and what it means for the industry's future.

AXPC applauds the House passage of @RepMikeKennedy's License to Drill Act. Reauthorizing the Permit Processing Improvement Fund keeps BLM staffed and permitting moving, which is critical to American energy production and affordability. We urge the Senate to move quickly to advance this critical piece of legislation. Read more 👇 axpc.org/education-resource/…

America’s reduced reliance on energy imports is insulating the economy from the worst impacts of the global energy crisis. @Diamonback Energy CEO @KVanthof joins Longer Laterals to explain how America's transformation into a net energy exporter, fueled by the Shale Revolution, acts as an economic tailwind during this historic energy disruption.

Then: 30 days to drill a 5,000-foot well Now: Less than a week to drill a 15,000-foot well This isn't a case of overnight success. It's a product of cumulative engineering breakthroughs and smart policy. Watch @Diamondback_EP CEO @KVanthof explain why regulatory certainty is key to securing America’s energy leadership.

#MemberMonday Investing in education today is key to building the workforce of tomorrow — and Expand Energy is leading by example. Through a long-standing partnership with Lackawanna College’s School of Petroleum & Natural Gas, Expand Energy is helping students gain real-world, hands-on experience that translates directly into meaningful careers. From equipment donations and classroom instruction to a strong internship pipeline, this collaboration is opening doors for students to enter the energy workforce with valuable skills, minimal debt and strong earning potential. What makes this effort even more impactful? Expand Energy employees themselves are stepping into the classroom — with four team members teaching and sharing up-to-date knowledge on technology, safety and regulatory developments. The results speak volumes: nearly 93% of PNG graduates are hired by major energy companies, and 10 alumni have already joined Expand Energy’s workforce. When industry and education come together, opportunity grows — strengthening communities, supporting American energy and developing the next generation of talent.

Since the Shale Revolution began, U.S. natural gas production has doubled, helping transform the U.S. into the world’s leading LNG exporter. 🇺🇸 Our latest blog, drawing on research from UC Berkely, explores what that shift has meant for global energy markets, U.S. energy security, and consumers.

This record-setting lease sale demonstrates the pivotal role federal lands development will play to secure energy affordability. Thank you @DepSecMac and @Interior for taking action to restore confidence in federal lands management.
Today our Carlsbad lease sale was HOT🔥 - netting over $𝟰 𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗢𝗡 in high bids for less than 1% of BLM NM’s subsurface mineral estate! Thanks to @POTUS and @SecretaryBurgum, we have restored quarterly lease sales with half of this $$ going to New Mexico for schools, hospitals, public safety and other municipal needs. FACT: In just one sale, we just 10X’d total receipts of every single onshore lease sales conducted in FOUR years under Biden. 🔧 Fixed THAT. 🔨 This all leads to: ⛽️More American energy 🏨Increased $$ for municipal infrastructure 👨‍🏭More American jobs and economic growth 💰 BILLIONS in future royalties 🌵Investment into conservation efforts #somuchwinning
