Donald Trump’s tariff “chaos” and quest to drive down vitality costs are a menace to US oil output and can undermine the president’s “drill, baby drill” agenda, shale executives have warned.

The US president has pledged to usher in a brand new period of American fossil gas dominance and cheaper oil, saying a fall in vitality costs will assist beat again client inflation.

However shale executives informed a survey by the Federal Reserve Financial institution of Dallas that the president’s commerce insurance policies and rhetoric had been now threatening their drilling plans.

“The administration’s chaos is a disaster for the commodity markets. ‘Drill, baby, drill’ is nothing short of a myth and populist rallying cry,” one shale producer wrote in a submission to the Dallas Fed. “Tariff policy is impossible for us to predict and doesn’t have a clear goal. We want more stability.”

The quarterly Dallas Fed survey is a carefully watched gauge of drilling exercise within the south-west — together with Texas — the US’s most essential oil-producing area and a bedrock of assist for Trump throughout final 12 months’s presidential election.

“The threat of $50 oil prices by the administration has caused our firm to reduce its 2025 and 2026 capital expenditures,” reported one respondent. “‘Drill, baby, drill’ does not work with $50 per barrel oil,” wrote one producer.

“The rhetoric from the current administration is not helpful. If the oil price continues to drop, we will shut in production,” wrote one other producer.

“I have never felt more uncertainty about our business in my entire 40-plus-year career,” wrote one producer within the survey.
