“It’s cleanish.” The Seine River has been closed to swimming for more than a century, in part because of sewage spills. Paris is racing to make it safe enough for swim events in the Summer Games. wsj.com/world/olympics… w/ @eve_hartley
The fracking techniques that fueled the shale boom are now being used to produce clean geothermal electricity, attracting investors and workers from the oil-and-gas industry. New story with @benmorenne: wsj.com/business/energ…
NEW: Chevron warned investors Monday that Exxon Mobil and China’s Cnooc are asserting they have a right to pre-empt the company’s bid for a stake in a prolific oil project off Guyana, a big part of its $53B megadeal to buy Hess. wsj.com/business/energ… via @WSJ
Christian oil billionaire Tim Dunn has ripped up Texas politics, funding groups pushing Republicans to further extremes. His next move? To do the same nationally, as he works to assemble a Trump "administration in waiting" wsj.com/politics/polic… w/ @CollinEatonHC @benmorenne
Tim Dunn wants to do in DC what he's accomplished in Austin, says @WSJ. Also, and I didn't know this, he has "worked for a decade to construct an exact replica of Moses’ Tabernacle in West Texas, using materials imported from the Middle East." wsj.com/politics/polic…
"He'll never sell" has been an oil-patch mantra for years. @benmorenne w/ the story about what changed. Autry Stephens, one of the last Texas wildcatters, is about to become one of the world's richest men. He isn’t sure how he feels about it. wsj.com/business/energ… via @WSJ
Read @benmorenne and @AndrewRestuccia on how the Rockefellers and billionaire donors funded an environmentalist campaign to pressure President Biden to pause approvals of LNG exports from the U.S. wsj.com/us-news/climat…
Scoop: Southwestern and Chesapeake are closing in on a roughly $17 billion energy merger. $SWN $CHK with @LCooperReports & @benmorenne wsj.com/business/energ… via @WSJ
Charif Souki undermined industry powers with exuberant and unwavering mercantilism. His faith had a logical foundation: the storms in his remarkable career were often chased by sunlight. Souki out as exec chairman of Tellurian. Via @benmorenne wsj.com/business/energ…
BP and Shell are accusing gas startup Venture Global of ripping them off, a global feud reverberating from the US to the EU. But VG's CEO says he isn't losing sleep over the fight. “We are so busy executing, and winning." w/@jennystrasburg wsj.com/business/energ…
It’s Tuesday, December 5. Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich was detained by the Russian FSB on March 29, 2023. 251 days ago. His crime was practicing journalism in Russia. JOURNALISM IS NOT A CRIME, VLADIMIR! #IStandWithEvan
Nice double double-digit scoop day for @WSJdeals: ✔️Cigna-Humana nearing blockbuster merger ✔️Occidental in talks to buy CrownRock wsj.com/business/deals… wsj.com/business/deals… @laurenthomas @LCooperReports @annawmathews @benmorenne
After announcing Chevron's $53B deal to buy Hess, CEO Mike Wirth had a call with Guyana's President, Irfaan Ali, who urged Wirth to help pump the country's oil as fast as it could. Here's a look at the oil boom transforming Guyana; w/ @kejalvyas wsj.com/business/energ…… via @WSJ
John Hess has a personal hand in the Hess truck design each Christmas. And he had wanted his son to take over the oil giant (and presumably truck line) until Elliott showed up in 2013. @benmorenne @bradnews on the end of a family dynasty. wsj.com/business/energ…
A second oil megadeal: Chevron is buying Hess, which puts it firmly into Guyana, the South American country where Exxon, Hess and CNOOC found 11 billion barrels of oil and gas offshore. Price tag: $53 billion wsj.com/business/energ… via @WSJ
Until recently, shale chieftain Scott Sheffield put no limits on his ambition to grow Pioneer. But after two weeks of negotiations, he agreed to sell the company to Exxon in a mega-deal. wsj.com/business/energ…
“We have a lot of things that can go ‘boom’ in this town” Two brothers died in a BP refinery tragedy. Here is their story. With photographs by Brittany Greeson instagram.com/brittanygreeso… wsj.com/business/energ… via @WSJ
Today marks the next change for me at the WSJ: I will be moving from DC bureau chief to WSJ assistant editor working full time on the mission to secure the release of our colleague Evan Gershkovich. Let’s hope it is a short-term assignment. #IStandWithEvan
Exxon Mobil is closing in on a deal to buy Pioneer Natural Resources, a blockbuster takeover that could be worth roughly $60 billion wsj.com/business/deals… via @laurenthomas @LCooperReports

@SecretaryPete is perhaps the most high profile person to head the @USDOT. In tandem with his tenure, more eyes are on the state of American infrastructure — and its pitfalls — than ever. I spoke with Buttigieg for @deseretmagazine. deseret.com/2023/11/15/239…
Five years at WSJ! Hard to believe. When I started, interest in power/utilities was somewhat limited (save for PG&E). Since then, it has exploded. We've got more folks than ever writing about the transition, and my inbox is full of smart questions from readers. More to come⚡️
