Steve Halabura: Potash 101
Putin’s invasion of the Ukraine has brought down sanctions against the Russian financial system, Russian oligarchs, and Russian resource exporters. You can also lump Putin’s henchman Lukashenko into this mix. When you do this, you taint 40% of the world’s trade in potash.
Who’s left to carry the load? Saskatchewan. Given how important potash has become, maybe it’s time to go back and relearn a bit about this stuff called potash. Time for POTASH 101 boys and girls!

EPA raises amount of ethanol that must be blended with gas
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Biden administration on Friday set new requirements that increase the amount of ethanol that must be blended into the nation’s gasoline supply but reduce previous ethanol-blending requirements due to a plunge in fuel demand during the coronavirus pandemic.
The Environmental Protection Agency said it would set the 2022 levels for corn-based ethanol blended into gasoline at 15 billion gallons. But even as the new rules increased future ethanol requirements, the EPA retroactively reduced levels for 2020 by 2.5 billion gallons and by 1.2 billion gallons for 2021, reflecting the lower amount of ethanol produced and decreased sales of gasoline during a period when the virus led to a drop in driving.

Pledge of more oil heightens odds of Saudi trip for Biden
The Biden administration praised Saudi Arabia Thursday for its roles securing an OPEC+ pledge to pump more oil and a cease-fire extension in Yemen — warm words that appeared to boost the prospect of President Joe Biden traveling to Saudi Arabia and meeting with the kingdom’s once-shunned crown prince. Biden intends to make his first trip as president to the Saudi kingdom later this month, though details have not been finalized, a person familiar with the planning told The Associated Press.
15 people charged with criminal contempt over pipeline protest, 10 others await fate
The British Columbia Prosecution Service says 15 people are being charged with criminal contempt of court following protests last fall over a natural gas pipeline being built near Houston in northern B.C.
The prosecution service says it will take four more weeks to decide if there’s enough evidence to charge an additional 10 people, while two others who were arrested won’t be prosecuted.
Court documents say all 27 people were arrested over six days between September and November along a forest service road leading to a work site for the Coastal GasLink pipeline.

Peter Linder, Musings of an Ex-Oil & Gas Analyst: Very bullish on oil and gas producers, natural gas prices
As you know, I have been very bullish on oil and natural gas prices and Canadian oil and gas producers over the past couple of years. I have been especially aggressive in these calls over the past few months, stating that we will see $125 WTI and $10 NYMEX gas this summer. We are certainly well on our way, particularly for gas, which is currently trading at well over $9.
David Yager: Natural gas, Alberta’s forgotten economic powerhouse. Gas is back in a big way
“They call natural gas the fuel of the future. It must be because it has no present value.”
So quipped the head of the Independent Petroleum Association of America at an industry event in Calgary in 1991. Gas was big business 30 years ago, and it’s finally back in a big way. Rejoice.

War surges Norway’s oil, gas profit. Now, it’s urged to help
STAVANGER, Norway (AP) — Europe’s frantic search for alternatives to Russian energy has dramatically increased the demand — and price — for Norway’s oil and gas.
