About this listen

In this February 2026 news roundup, we analyze how Winter Storm Ferne disrupted nearly 2 million barrels per day of U.S. oil production and sent natural gas prices to all-time highs, with spot prices hitting over $30/mmBtu. We explore what these dramatic price spikes mean for your royalty checks and why this recovery looks different from the 2021 Texas grid crisis. We also examine the Trump administration's push to streamline oil and gas permitting on federal forest lands, Greenland's emerging role as a strategic mineral hub, and what flat rig counts signal about the industry's cautious approach to increasing production despite recent price volatility.

As always, links to the articles discussed can be found in the show notes at mineralrightspodcast.com.
