SPEAKER_20 "We've traded those barrels. We have released a barrel now because we have short-term interruptions in flows, and to date, on average, we're getting back 1.28 barrels for every barrel we release. So ultimately, we will release 172 million barrels, and we will get well over 200 million barrels of oil back that will start coming back early next year. So we'll end out with the Strategic Petroleum Reserve more full than we started this conflict while still mitigating the price impacts of this conflict and the flow and mitigating the interruption in the flow of oil. So it has been used"

HOEVEN, JOHN "Right now we have a $157 million large demonstration project partnership between Department of Energy, State of North Dakota, and private enterprise to basically develop taking CO2 from our coal-fired electric plants and using it for enhanced oil recovery. And this is a project at scale to demonstrate that we can do that. The whole point is to increase oil production from our oil fields. Right now we produce 1.1 million barrels a day, and unfortunately that's put us a little bit behind the state of New Mexico. We're also behind Texas, so we're third, but we may not be able to catch Texas, but..."

CHRIS WRIGHT "California produces less electricity today than it did five and eight years ago. California's done everything it can to raise the price of electricity and shrink the production of I think in our original round, we sold 42 million barrels, and we just had another one that sold like 26. So we've probably sold about 70 of the 172 million barrels that will be sold. Sorry, Congressman, if I can correct myself, we're not selling the barrels, we're trading the barrels. We're putting barrels into the marketplace now because the marketplaces need them, and all these deals are structured as"

HOEVEN, JOHN "Secretary, thanks for being here and appreciate your service very much. The shale play has helped take this country from domestic production of oil from about 5 million barrels a day to about almost 14 million barrels a day. We all know how important that is. When I started as governor in 2000, we started a real push to crack the code on the Bakken shale play, to produce oil from the Bakken"

HOEVEN, JOHN "We believe, I believe, that this project will double the life of our coal-fired electric industry, double the life, and probably more than double the amount of oil and gas we produce. So far we've produced about 6 billion barrels of oil, you know very well, having been governor there. And we're generating about 1.1 million barrels a day, but that number's going down. So the whole point here is that we need to use enhanced oil recovery to start increasing that number from 1.1 million barrels a day back towards the 1.5 million we were producing, So the whole point here is that we need to use..."

HOEVEN, JOHN "Assistant Secretary of House Flight, in 2000, North Dakota produced about 100,000 barrels of oil a day, and it was going down. We went to work, we cracked the code on the shale play, we drove it up to 1.5 million barrels a day, and now we're back down, now it's starting to decline down. We're at about 1.1 million barrels of oil a day. We're at about 1.1 million barrels of oil a"

ROSEN, JACKY "I want to talk a little bit more about Venezuela, because the Trump administration has reportedly overseen the sale of nearly 100 million barrels of Venezuelan oil, worth an estimated $8 billion. Yet Congress and the American people still have no idea what agreements actually govern these sales, how much revenue has actually been collected, who controls the money, or what safeguards are in place or should be in place to prevent corruption or money"

CASTOR, KATHY "there is a lot of economic pain out in the world. And I think this committee should schedule a hearing on how the President's war in Iran is taking the cost of gasoline to sky-high levels, and the fact that the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve is approaching its lowest levels in decades, with inventories expected to fall to roughly 300 million barrels, the lowest since the 1980s. Notwithstanding all that, some of the bills before this committee today can move us in the right direction. I appreciate the Chairman including my"

SCOTT BESSENT "as are we the treasury was able to create the more than 250 million barrels on the water. And the way to think about this is, as I came in today, the oil prices are at"

GEN. JOHN "JACK" M. KEANE "China is obviously buying their oil at discounted prices. And we've never, we were, if my numbers are correct, we had them down to something like 200,000 barrels, and then they got up to millions now under loosening up the sanctions on the Iranians. There is ample opportunity economically to suppress them. We know that gets their"

SPEAKER_07 "Our cemeteries have received 12 federal grants since 2002, totaling $43.8 million. Each of the five state cemeteries received grant funding for initial construction, and in just the past four years, Kentucky has three expansion grants for approximately $3 million to build new columbarium walls for cremations and pre-placed out-of-barrel containers for casket interments at our two oldest and busiest cemeteries. Commonwealth of Kentucky also has a great relationship with NCA. We follow their guidelines, rules, regulations, because it requires all veteran cemeteries to meet the same high..."
