Our good friend Charlie Schliebs, managing director of Stone Pier Capital, recently circulated a PowerPoint presentation/report from James Knobloch Petroleum Consultants that does an expert job at compiling current data and other valuable information on the status and trends for the oil and gas industry in the Appalachian Basin. Some of the juicy tidbits from the slide deck and accompanying commentary from Charlie: Drilling activity in the Marcellus/Utica *is* slowing down at the moment, but this downturn is different than previous downturns. Also, rumors are swirling about EQT. And, worries about competition coming from the Permian.
