Certifiers Tell M-U Drillers: No RSG Cert, You Won’t Sell Gas

Last week MDN told you about two smaller, privately-owned Marcellus/Utica drillers (both with their own pipeline gathering operations) that have contracted with certification authorities to certify their natural gas as responsibly produced (see Olympus Using Proj Canary to Monitor Drilling & Pipes for Methane and Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Using Project Canary for RSG Cert in WV). At last week's DUG East event in Pittsburgh, one of the organizations that perform RSG (responsibly sourced gas) certifications tried to sell the line that if all drillers don't fall into line with certification, they may not be able to sell their gas.
