“A pilot program like this one will help oil and gas companies focus on the routes, drivers and vehicles in their fleets that are ready to be fully electric.” – CEO Glen Stancil.

MERGE Electric Fleet Solutions launched a pilot program for Permian Basin oil and natural gas operators and oilfield services companies curious about fleet electrification to try out fully electric pickup trucks. The pilot program is the first of its kind for the region and will enable companies to try electric and determine how EVs will meet drivers’ needs to allow the oilfield to confidently electrify. Beginning in October 2022, qualified companies in the Permian Basin will be able to sign up for two F-150 Lightnings for a 31-day rental, which includes access to charging locations in the Midland-Odessa area.

Dan Pickering from Pickering Energy Partners says the oil market remains highly headline-driven and that the equity markets may be too complacent about the timeline for oil supply to normalize.

Dan Pickering, Founder and CIO of Pickering Energy Partners, says that Iran is loathe to give up its leverage on the Strait of Hormuz, and that until loaded ships move out of the Strait and empty ships move in, any solution remains temporary.
