    Epsilon 3Q: Production Falls, Revenue Doubles, Lawsuit Continues

    November 12, 2021November 12, 2021

    Epsilon Energy concentrates most of its effort on the Marcellus in Susquehanna County, PA. Epsilon doesn’t typically do its own drilling. The company joint venture partners with (gives money to) other companies, like Chesapeake Energy, and the other company typically does the drilling. Epsilon issued its third quarter update on Wednesday. The company’s Marcellus net gas production was 2.6 Bcf (billion cubic feet) in total for 3Q21, compared to 3.0 Bcf of net gas production in 3Q20 (a 13% decrease). However, revenues were $13.1 million in 3Q21, compared to $5.8 million in 3Q20 (more than doubled). In addition to the 3Q numbers, we have an update on Epsilon’s lawsuit against its partner Chesapeake Energy.

    U.S. and Marcellus/Utica NatGas Production Hit Fresh 19-Mo. Highs

    November 12, 2021April 20, 2022

    S&P Global Platts and their crack analytics unit say U.S. natural gas production continues to “surge” this month, hitting fresh 19-month highs. The surge is propelled by gains in output across Appalachia, the Haynesville Shale, and the Permian Basin. The Marcellus/Utica (i.e. Appalachia) hit a brand new record record-high of 34.7 Bcf/d (billion cubic feet per day) earlier this month. Awesome! Around the same time the M-U’s chief competitor (for investment dollars), the Louisiana/Texas Haynesville, also hit an all-time record high of 14.1 Bcf/d. The Permian came close to its all-time record of 14.0 Bcf/d, set back in June.

    Leftwing Media Continues to Blame the Victim – Spire STL Pipe

    November 12, 2021November 12, 2021

    We are stupified watching how the biased, leftwing mainstream media is treating utility company Spire (located in St. Louis) over the company’s recent statements warning natural gas customers their gas may run out if the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) does not act to extend an emergency certificate authorizing the operation of a pipeline that’s been up and running for the past two years–Spire STL. Yesterday we told you about vicious attacks against Spire for simply speaking the truth (see Spire Exercises Free Speech by Sending Warning Email re Pipe Closure). Those attacks continue…

    Judge Certifies Class Action Against FirstEnergy re Nuke Bailout

    November 12, 2021November 12, 2021

    Ohio’s House Bill (HB) 6 law granted billions (plural) of dollars to FirstEnergy in an attempt to prop up the company’s economically failing nuclear power plants. FirstEnergy bribed state legislators to pass, and keep passed, HB 6 by paying out $61 million to a small group of insiders, including the now-former Speaker of the House (see FirstEnergy Involved in Bribery Scheme to Pass $1B Nuke Bailout Law). It is the biggest bribery scandal in Ohio history. HB 6 empowered FirstEnergy to add a new charge to the electric bills for all ratepayers, on the theory subsidizing nuke plants was a good thing because nukes don’t create carbon dioxide emissions (that extra charge has since been overturned). A group of FirstEnergy ratepayers sued after the scandal broke, and a federal judge has just certified a class action against the company.

    Natural Gas Coalition ONE Future Beats Methane Intensity Goal by 58%

    November 12, 2021November 12, 2021

    A coalition of upstream (drilling), midstream (pipeline), and downstream (utility) companies formed an industry group called ONE Future back in 2014. The aim of the group is to lower methane emissions across all aspects of the natural gas infrastructure system nationwide and to emit (lose into the atmosphere) no more than 1% by 2025. A number of Marcellus/Utica companies have joined (see our previous ONE Future stories here). ONE Future issued its fourth annual methane intensity numbers yesterday. Great news! The coalition registered a 2020 methane intensity number of 0.424% (versus the 2025 goal of 1.0%), beating its one percent goal by 58% some five years early!

    ESG Movement Bodes Ill for Electricity Market and Supply Chains

    November 12, 2021November 12, 2021

    In September MDN brought you a fantastic column by Paul Driessen, a senior policy advisor for CFACT (Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow, a Washington, D.C. think tank), taking aim at so-called ESG, or environment, social, and governance programs, that are all the rage these days (see The ESG Emperor has No Clothes – Will Anyone Else Say So?). We have another terrific column from CFACT about ESG, this time written by Ronald Stein, author, engineer, and energy expert. Stein writes that ESG programs are forcing underinvestment in energy infrastructure, and that underinvestment is helping to create the current energy crisis and the crisis in our supply chains.
