    Trump calls the Venezuela concession the biggest oil deal in world history, so Chuck Yates and Kirk Coburn pull it apart with Mark Meyer out of the room. Whether heavy Venezuelan crude can ever land in the SPR, why a hundred year lease looks a lot like the concession that became BP, and what PDVSA has to be paid to cooperate. Plus Druckenmiller calling out his old Soros desk mate Scott Bessent on Treasury buybacks, ranking the super majors, and 40 trillion in debt. Click here to watch a video of this episode.

    Diesel Cracks Hit $102, Hormuz Day 176 & Token Burn Is Just AI Flaring | BDE 08.24.26

    Diesel cracks just hit 102 dollars a barrel while the Treasury Secretary says he does not understand why oil spiked, which tells you everything about a products led market. Hormuz sits at day 176 with transits down 86 percent, Buc-ee's makes more on beaver nuggets than it does on diesel, and the SPR is now a strategic suggestion. Then there is AI flaring, the case that token burn on drifting bots is the same waste as burning gas you already paid to produce. Click here to watch a video of this episode.

    Hormuz Deadline Expires, Diesel Crack Tops $102, Meta Wants 10 Gas Plants | BDE 08.18.26

    The sixty day clock on the Islamabad MOU ran out and nobody blinked, so Hormuz is still a coin flip and the diesel crack just printed 102 dollars, bigger than the price of crude itself. Kirk, Chuck, and Mark get into why nobody will build a refinery, how FedEx surcharges quietly lock in higher prices, and whether Meta and Entergy are about to hand Louisiana ratepayers a very long bill.

    Amazon Builds a 7.6GW Gas Grid, EOG Strikes UAE Shale | BDE 08.14.26

    EOG drilled two wells in the UAE that look suspiciously like the Eagle Ford, and Chuck has a theory about why. From there it's Amazon dropping a 7.6 gigawatt private gas plant on a West Texas ranch, Vivek Ramaswamy flipping the script on Ohio data centers, and a cattle rancher whose herd is spooked by the noise. Power demand is rewriting land use and politics at the same time, and we are here for it. Click here to watch a video of this episode.

    Trump Steals Warren's Windfall Tax, Chevron Becomes Microsoft's Landlord | BDE 08.04.26

    Trump wants the oil majors to hand their profits back to the public, and the crew has opinions. From taco trade whiplash in the Strait of Hormuz to Chevron reinventing itself as an infrastructure landlord through the Microsoft Kilby deal, this Collide roundtable unpacks windfall tax theater, BP fleeing a 78 percent North Sea tax bill, and the hidden demand destruction quietly showing up at Applebee's.

    Every Gas Shortage Call Has Been Wrong, PE Dumps Assets & SLB Chases GPUs | BDE 07.28.26

    Somebody spent 18 months modeling every well, pipe, and storage facility in the US gas system and came out calling for a shortage by 2028. Collide is not buying it, and the receipts go all the way back to Greenspan. Then it is deal season, with Magnolia grabbing Wildfire and Matador stacking up two more, all cash and no leverage. Plus SLB is quietly building a billion dollar data center business with Liberty, and somebody deserves a raise for selling that one. Click here to watch a video of this episode.
