LSU Center for Energy Studies, or CES, Assistant Professor Gregory B. Upton, Jr., is one of three candidates nominated by the Louisiana Board of Regents, or BOR, for the Louisiana Revenue Estimating Conference, or REC. Members of the REC will choose one person from the three BOR nominees to replace LSU Professor Jim Richardson, the current economist, who will step down in June of this year after 30 years of REC service.
"This is a great honor to be considered for such an important role. I look forward to the opportunity to serve my state in this capacity if chosen among the three highly qualified candidates." said Upton.
Upton joined the CES faculty in 2014 and since that time has researched a wide-range of Louisiana-specific energy issues, including the impact of the oil price collapse on Louisiana's budgetary challenges, solar tax credits and net metering policies in the state, and the implications of lifting the federal crude oil export ban. In 2018, he authored the chapter "Mineral Revenues in Louisiana," published in Exploring Long-Term Solutions for Louisiana's Tax System, a byproduct of more than a year's worth of Upton's extensive research on how upstream oil and gas impacts Louisiana public revenues and the Louisiana economy.
Upton has presented his research to more than 80 industry, governmental, and academic audiences, and has been cited more than 50 times in local and national media. He has co-authored a number of studies examining the economic impact of various energy infrastructure development projects on the Louisiana economy. He holds a Ph.D. in economics from Louisiana State University, where he also received both an M.A. in economics and a B.S. in economics with a concentration in empirical analysis.
The REC has constitutional authority and responsibility to provide official revenue estimates for the state. Its four principal members are the governor or designee, President of the Senate, Speaker of the House, and a faculty member with revenue forecasting expertise from a Louisiana university or college.
The REC prepares estimates of money to be received by the state general fund and dedicated funds for the current and upcoming fiscal years that are available for appropriation, and it designates whether money in the estimates will be recurring or nonrecurring. All REC decisions on whether to adopt the estimates must be unanimous.
Louisiana Geological Survey and Center for Energy Studies faculty will present two events during the week of Spring Break: April 15-17, 2019: The 13th Annual La. Water Conference and the Oil & Gas Symposium. Join us for one or both events, which address important natural resource, water, and energy issues for Louisiana and the Gulf Coast. Continuing education for professional geoscientists (PG), professional engineers, and attorneys may be available.
The Louisiana Water Conference aims to disseminate the latest water-related research and activities within and around Louisiana, promote education and public awareness of Louisiana's valuable freshwater resources, and promote engagement of water-use sectors.
This symposium will bring together scientists, engineers, and policy makers from across a range of disciplines to discuss the current state of the oil and gas industry in Louisiana, and its interaction with our ecosystem. John E. Johnston III of the Louisiana Geological Survey and Greg Upton of the LSU Center for Energy studies will serve as the symposium chairs.
In June of 2016, the Louisiana Board of Regents provided support as part of its Industrial Ties Research Subprogram (ITRS) to study how solar could be incorporated into the electric grid and whether the incorporation of battery storage could enhance the scalability of this resource in an economical way. Industry partner Southwestern Electric Power Company (SWEPCO) also provided data and support including technical engineering data on its distribution grid. This collaborative effort between the LSU Center for Energy Studies, the Louisiana Board of Regents, and SWEPCO has resulted in a report that assesses both the technical and economic implications of the solar industry in Louisiana.
The degree to which solar growth can cause challenges to the distribution grid that electric utilities are responsible for maintaining in order to provide safe, reliable and affordable electricity to Louisiana's residents.
The economics of behind-the-meter solar in light of both reduced solar tax credits and rate design changes.
In the 2018 second extraordinary session, Senate Concurrent Resolution (SCR) 4 was passed asking Dr. Jim Richardson and Dr. Greg Upton to make specific recommendations to the legislature regarding mineral taxes in Louisiana. The motivation for this request was based on work conducted by the Task Force on Structural Change in Budget & Tax Policy and a recently published book chapter on the topic. SCR 4 can be found here.
Preserve or improve the competitiveness of the oil and gas extraction sector in Louisiana.
Decrease or remove the difference in tax rates for oil and gas.
Create an equitable system of severance tax exemptions on all wells, not just horizontal wells.
Hold constant or increase mineral revenues for the state.
Explore other reasons why oil and gas production is fluctuating in the state of Louisiana and any changes that need to be made to increase production.
This document serves as the preliminary status report highlighting the work conducted in the first year of a three-year study process.

Send Flowers for Sergio
Sergio Jesus Figueroa
July 4, 1951 ~ October 7, 2021 (age 70)
Sergio J. Figueroa, age 70, passed away peacefully on October 7, 2021, in his home surrounded by his wife and children.
Sergio is survived by his loving wife Corliss Figueroa; his son Sergio and daughter-in-law Veronica; his daughter Sarah and soon-to-be son-in-law Jeffery Bowers; his sister Carolina Figueroa; his brother Edmundo Figueroa; and his four beautiful granddaughters Josephine, Victoria, Alexandra, and Isabella Figueroa.
Sergio was born on July 4, 1951, in Mexico City, and graduated with his Masters degree in Engineering. In Mexico, he met his wife, Corliss, who was studying abroad. Sergio and Corliss moved back to the U.S. to Pittsburgh, PA after they were married, but soon moved to Florida to escape the harsh winters--per Sergio's request.
Sergio has been a Conway resident since 1984. He worked as an engineer for the Florida Department of Transportation for 30 years where he was responsible for constructing multiple roadways and bridges throughout the Orlando area. He enjoyed watching and attending ALL sporting events but particularly found joy in watching his children excel at baseball (Sergio) and gymnastics (Sarah). He loved listening to rock music on a daily basis. Many did not know, but he was a talented electric guitarist in a band called Rubber Soul in his college years. Any opportunity Sergio got, he and Corliss grabbed their beach chairs and headed to the beach. He truly cherished every moment spent with his family. He especially loved his granddaughters who enjoyed using "Papi" as their own personal jungle gym.
Sergio, "Serge," "Dad," "Papi," "Pops" will be greatly missed by his entire family, numerous friends, and the many people who experienced his extraordinary kindness, his humor, and his dependability.
A memorial service will be held at Blessed Trinity Catholic Church (4545 Anderson Road, Orlando, Florida, 32812) at 1:00 pm on Monday, October 11th, 2021, with a gathering to follow at the residence of Sergio and Corliss Figueroa
