Midstream water management firm WaterBridge and E&P BPX Energy entered a long-term agreement for a Delaware Basin development of new produced water capacity, WaterBridge said Jan. 21.
In the basin’s Stateline region, WaterBridge will build and operate a network capable of handling 400,000 bbl/d of produced water over the next three years, with the potential to increase capacity to 600,000 bbl/d afterward. BPX is BP’s U.S. onshore oil and gas business.
Houston-based WaterBridge has an affiliate relationship with LandBridge Co., which owns more than 273,000 surface acres in the Delaware Basin. LandBridge plans to build a gathering and transport system over the acreage for transport to BPX’s developments in Reeves County, Texas.

The day after signing dozens of executive orders, the president revealed a joint venture with OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle to invest hundreds of billions in AI infrastructure in the US. Dubbed “Stargate,” the venture could inflate to as much as $500 billion over the next four years, CBS News reported. Stargate will reportedly start with a data center in Texas before expanding to other states. Tech companies are racing to build more data centers to power the increase in AI-related computing.

Netflix passed 300 million subscribers in record quarter. The entertainment giant and undisputed streaming wars winner reported 19 million new subscribers in Q4—the biggest addition in company history. That helped Netflix generate $10.25 billion in revenue for the quarter, above analysts’ expectations. Much of the smash quarter was owed to the platform going all-in on live sports: Netflix streamed NFL games for the first time and featured the much-hyped Tyson-Paul boxing match, which Netflix boasted was the most-streamed sporting event ever. This will be the last time the company publicly divulges subscriber figures as it pivots toward emphasizing profits instead.
Instagram is reportedly offering creators cash bonuses of up to $50,000 a month if they post exclusively to Reels in an apparent effort to capitalize on TikTok’s uncertain status in the US.

Oil Ends Lower as Trump’s Output and Tariffs Plans Fuel Supply Uncertainty

Oil futures ended lower on Tuesday as traders weighed prospects for crude supplies after President Donald Trump vowed to boost already record U.S. crude output, threatened to implement a steep tariff on Canadian imports and called for replenishing the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

The March contract which is now the front month, lost $1.56, or 2%, to $75.83 a barrel. WTI futures didn’t settle Monday due to the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday.

Dow gains over 500 points as stocks climb on first trading day of Trump's term

U.S. stocks finished higher on Tuesday as Wall Street wrapped up the first trading day of President Donald Trump's second term in office on a positive note.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose more than 500 points, or 1.2%, to end near 44,026, according to preliminary data from FactSet.
The S&P 500 was up 0.9%, to finish around 6,049.
The Nasdaq Composite surged 0.6%, ending around 19,756.
Investors on Tuesday welcomed Trump’s calmer-than-expected tone on tariffs. Trump said on Monday his administration "will tariff and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens,” but he didn’t appear set to follow through on an earlier threat to impose 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada, as well as an additional 10% tariff on imports from China.
Wall Street has feared that a swath of tariffs on U.S. imports could lead to a resurgence of inflation, which could harm the government-debt market and send interest rates higher again. Treasury yields ended mostly lower on Tuesday, with the 10-year rate finishing at its lowest since Dec. 30, according to FactSet data.
