Lone Star Stories

• Delek has excessive gas.

Well, well, well, it seems Delek US Holdings had a bit of a hiccup at its Big Spring refinery in Texas.

Apparently, equipment issues and excessive gas emissions were reported.

The 73,000-barrel-a-day refinery is located in west Texas, 44 miles east of Midland.

Let's hope they get things sorted out soon, because excessive gas is never good.

• Texas lawmakers passed a bill that will help fossil fuels and hurt renewable energy.

The Texas Senate passed a package of bills that would cut support from wind and solar power and force renewable electricity companies to subsidize the construction of new fossil fuel plants.

• Citgo had a little incident over the weekend, which forced them to talk to everyones best friend, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

The issue was caused by a equipment malfunction in the Sulfur Recovery Unit.

• MIT PhD says that data science and machine learning are the future of oil and gas.

While many industries have already integrated the wave of nerds wielding virtually unlimited number crunching power, the oil and gas industry has yet to catch up.
