What do high oil prices mean for the energy transition? Some may argue that high prices will incentivize investment in low-carbon technologies. It might, but likely not by the oil majors, and not at scale. More on this in my recent INSEAD Knowledge article: knowledge.insead.edu/economics-fi...

We find no evidence of substitution with patenting (little patenting in hydraulic fracturing as a baseline) or concealing of toxic behavior (nearly all wells have multiple disclosed toxic ingredients, patterns do not change post-DTSA, and there's no increase in lawsuits).
We do find evidence of changing well designs.
Trade secrets are ubiquitous, but are hard to study. This is, to our knowledge, is the first large-sample project-level evidence on the drivers of their use and novelty. More work is needed to understand this form of IP.

and what kind of economic activity it may enable.
We also find that, on average, wells using trade secret ingredients exhibit higher productivity, though the DTSA itself shows limited additional productivity gains.
others can legally reverse-engineer or discover independently and use such information without constraints. This is why examining whether legal protections change trade secret use is important, because it informs our understanding for where protection is particularly valuable
