Still Plenty of Drilling & Pipeline Work Happening in PA Marcellus

Lately, we've written plenty of negative stories, things like the Pennsylvania rig count getting whacked with the lowest numbers in eight years (see PA Craters, Drops 2 Rigs, M-U @ 32; National Rig Count Adds 1 @ 586), companies like Coterra stopping all new Marcellus drilling (see Coterra Stops Drilling New Wells in Marcellus, Fracking Ends Soon), and production numbers going down each quarter (see IFO 2Q24 Report: New Wells Drilled, Production Both Down in Pa.). We don't want to leave you with the wrong impression. It's not all doom and gloom. A LOT of activity is still happening in the shale fields of PA. New pipelines are being built. Permits for existing (and new) compressors are being issued. New well pads are receiving permits, and permits for wastewater storage tanks are being issued. Yeah, maybe the pace of activity has slowed a bit, but there's still plenty of activity happening in the PA Marcellus. Keep your chin up!
