This week on The Rundown, Rachel Griffith is joined by Jay Young, Founder & CEO of King Operating, Mark Ayers, EVP of Geology, and Ian Crane, Senior Reservoir Engineer for a fast-paced look at what’s happening across the oil and gas industry.

We break down three major energy stories making headlines: rising U.S. diesel prices and discussion around a potential export ban, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve falling to its lowest level since 1982, and U.S.–China talks that could potentially reopen a major market for American LNG.

Then we head From the Field for updates on Bivins and Mid-Continent activity, explain well spacing and horizontal well interference in Oil & Gas 101, and discuss why investors may want to start thinking about Q4 tax planning before year-end.

We’ll also cover what’s happening inside King Operating, upcoming drilling plans, KOP III updates, and two upcoming webinars:
