Good morning, here's what the OilPatch Team has for you today:

From Barrels to Chicken Coops: A Saudi Story
Saudis are switching from pumping oil to raising chickens.
It’s called diversification and it’s working a charm.
But if anyone thinks they’re going to “keep it in the ground”…
That’s not happening.

Food security for the win
Bloomberg wrote about the Saudi chicken story this month.
The report said the Saudis were expanding their chicken farming to ensure food security.
It’s a move that certainly makes sense.
The country imports as much as 80% of the food it consumes.
It’s like India and oil.
That’s an unacceptable degree of import dependency, obviously.
So, chickens in the desert it is.
And the reason it’s possible to raise chickens in the desert?
Yep. Oil.
The whole Saudi Vision 2030 program is made possible by its oil wealth.
The program aims to diversify the Saudi economy away from crude.
But, just like Norway funds EVs with oil money, the Saudis are funding their diversification with oil money.
They’re also investing in foreign poultry producers—again, thanks to the oil money.
Drinking oil
Green activists like to say “You can’t drink or eat oil.”
Clearly, they’re misinformed.
The Saudi chicken story demonstrates just that.
Sure, you can’t drink the stuff literally.
But you can use it to build a whole new industry to secure your food supply.
It won’t be surprising if the Saudis become chicken exporters in a few years.

Wall Street Set To Crush Trump’s Energy Dominance Vision
Trump wants oil drillers to drill more.
But bankers are not going to let that happen.
And it’s bankers who call the tune, so “Drill, baby, drill” is not happening.
Drill baby drill is nothing new. Biden drilled a lot too. Central banker gotta rethink his predictions 🇰🇪
