\begin{frame}{Conclusion}
% The market for Bitcoin can create a new coproduct in oil production, acting like a subsidy. The revenue increase is sensitive to the price of bitcoin but is likely to persist even if the price of bitcoin drops.
The market for Bitcoin can create a new co-product in oil production, acting like a subsidy. The revenue increase is senteive to the price of bitcoin but is likley to persist even if the price of bitcoin becomes drops.
\newline
% There is spatial variation in the size of the subsidy to oil production. The effect is predicted to shift the location of wells generally north, to lower population and higher GOR states.
% Bitcoin mining is starting to be used to increase the profits of oil wells in remote areas. States like Wyoming could see an increase in oil production of \(\approx 1.4\%\) Thethe U.S. has a lower average effect.
Bitcoin miners are starting to use flared natural gas as an afforable source of electricity. This will have long run impact on the oil market.
\begin{itemize}
% \item{Bitcoin mining can become a coproduct to oil production}
\item{The price of Bitcoin affects the price paid for the natural gas}
\item{A subisdy effect will persist even when Bitcoin prices are low}
\item{The profitability depends on geology}
\item{Bitcoin mining will disproportionately effect states like Wyoming, and North Dakota}
\end{itemize}
There is spatial variation in the size of the subsidy to oil production. The effect is predicted to shift the location of wells genreally north, to lower population and higher GOR states.
\newline
Prelminary results show that state like Wyoming could see an increase in oil production of \(\approx 1.4\%\) due to the subisdy effect, while the US has a lower average effect
