    April 8, 2020 The Honorable Wayne Christian The Honorable Christi Craddick The Honorable Ryan Sitton Railroad Commission of Texas P.O. Box 12967 Austin, Texas 78711-2967 Submitted via email to [email protected]. RE: Comments by Public Citizen on Verified complaint of Pioneer Natural Resources U.S.A. Inc. and Parsley Energy Inc to determine reasonable market demand for oil in the state of Texas Public Citizen appreciates the opportunity to provide these comments. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss our recommendations further. Please contact Texas office director Adrian Shelley at [email protected], 713-702-8063. I. Current Market Forces Demand A Cut in Production The Railroad Commission must act now to curtail production through proration. We join Environment Texas and others in calling for proration to occur based on company waste through flaring and other pollution emissions. Proration to curtail oil production in Texas is now necessary due to current market forces. Texas and the nation are experiencing historic surplus and low prices. Supply now exceeds demand and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. There are a number of reasons why. a. Global supply surplus There is a global supply surplus caused by an ongoing war for market share between Saudi Arabia and Russia. Railroad Commissioner Ryan Sitton estimates a global market surplus of 10 to 15 percent, roughly 10 to 15 million barrels/day.1 Petitioners assert that a production surplus could overwhelm the handling, processing, and storage industries. This risk to certain industry participants is one reason petitioners ask for proration.

    THE TIPRO TARGET March 5, 2020

    VOLUME 22, NO. 5 THE TIPRO TARGET March 5, 2020 Texas TEXAS’ 2020 PRIMARY ELECTION RESULTS IN Independent UNEXPECTED DEFEAT FOR RAILROAD COMMISSION INCUMBENT Producers and Royalty Owners Super Tuesday brought unexpected victories for some candidates in Texas, and big upsets for others. Association Political newcomer James “Jim” Wright defeated office incumbent Ryan Sitton for the Republican nomination to become Texas’ next Railroad Commissioner. Securing only 44 percent of the vote compared to Wright's 56 percent, late Tuesday Sitton conceded the race to Wright. “As I watched the primary results come in, I was shocked,” Sitton said in a message sent out to his supporters Wednesday. “I have to admit, I didn’t see it coming, and I am very disappointed,” he continued. “I have truly enjoyed serving you as your Texas Railroad Commissioner, and I was excited about the future. But this is how our election process works, and now someone else will be stepping in to represent the people of this state.” Before being elected in 2014 to the commission, Sitton and his wife Jennifer founded Pinnacle Advanced Reliability Technologies in 2006, an engineering and technology company focused on reliability and integrity programs for the oil, gas and petrochemical industries. Sitton now says he intends to return to the leadership team at Pinnacle once he completes his term at the end of the year at the Railroad Commission. In a post shared through social media platform Twitter, Wright said his win showed “Texans believe in integrity, leadership and innovation.” He added, “I look forward to bringing our message to all Texans and working with Wayne Christian and Christi Craddick in January 2021 to keep our state the top leader in natural resource production in the country.” Wright has campaigned on a platform of open communication between state regulators and stakeholders.

    Political Ad. Paid for by Wayne Christian for Texas

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 9, 2013 Contact: Luke Macias (210) 259-5053 ChristianForTexas.com CHRISTIAN ANNOUNCES CAMPAIGN FOR TEXAS RAILROAD COMMISSIONER Today former State Representative Wayne Christian announced his campaign for the Republican nomination for Railroad Commissioner. Christian was recognized during his time in the Texas House as a conservative champion, spending three years as President of the Texas Conservative Coalition. Christian was also consistently ranked as a top conservative from groups like Young Conservatives of Texas, Texans for Fiscal Responsibility, and Texas Eagle Forum. “Over the past few years the Federal Government has waged a war on oil and gas development,” said Christian. “Nowhere is that more apparent than in Texas. We’re blessed as a state with immense resources, and are fortunate to maintain a good business climate thanks to low taxation and appropriate regulation. If the Obama Administration has their way, however, Texas energy development will be suffocated by a wave of new regulations and bureaucratic red tape.” A citizen of deep East Texas, Christian has seen first-hand the tremendous economic benefits that oil and natural gas development can provide to once poor communities. “The benefits of Texas’ energy boom are far-reaching,” commented Christian. “Good paying jobs in oil and gas are putting food on the table for thousands of families, and are creating the need for more construction and infrastructure employment. Increased energy revenue means our schools can benefit from new learning materials, high-speed internet, and much needed repairs and renovations.” “I have fought the EPA from Al Gore to Obama, and bring true experience to the table as a former Vice Chairman of the Regulated Industries and a two-time member of the Energy Committee.
