Regulators vs. Roughnecks: Scott Sheffield’s War with the FTC

  • Resumen

  • Scott Sheffield—oil industry legend or convenient scapegoat? The FTC sure has opinions, and so does Russell Gold. Chuck sits down with the Texas Monthly senior editor to unpack the wild allegations that Sheffield was secretly cozying up to OPEC. Was the guy who helped turn the Permian into an oil superpower really playing both sides, or is this just another case of regulators picking a high-profile target? They dig into Sheffield’s legacy at Pioneer, the politics of energy regulation, and why industry leaders always seem to end up in the hot seat. Plus, a look at how Texas Monthly is helping bring the oil world to Hollywood with Taylor Sheridan’s new series, *Landman.*
