    Southwestern Appeals Weirton, WV Zoning Rejection of Well Pad

    November 22, 2021November 22, 2021

    In early September the Weirton, WV Zoning Board of Appeals rejected a request by Southwestern Energy to build a well pad inside city limits (see Weirton, WV Rejects Southwestern’s Plan for Well Pad in City Limits). Southwestern is appealing that rejection through the Brooke County Circuit Court. Southwestern is also moving forward with a request for a required state-issued permit from the Dept. of Environmental Protection.

    2nd Circuit Drives Final Nail in NY Constitution Pipeline Project Coffin

    November 22, 2021November 22, 2021

    In February 2020 pipeline giant Williams officially confirmed it was ending its years-long bid to build the Constitution Pipeline, a $683 million, 124-mile pipeline from Susquehanna County, PA to Schoharie County, NY to move Marcellus gas into NY and New England (see Sad Day: Williams Declares Constitution Pipeline Project Dead). Even though Williams declared the project dead, virulent anti-fossil fuelers, afraid that the Constitution may rise again like Dracula from the dead, continued to sue in a bid to drive the very last nail in the coffin of the project, which happened last week.

    Antis Out of Options After Latest PUC Ruling re Mariner East Pipe

    November 22, 2021November 22, 2021

    Is the glass half empty, or half full? Last Friday MDN told you that the Pennsylvania State Public Utility Commission (PUC) issued a list of 14 new requirements for the Mariner East Pipeline projects, for all three pipelines–ME1, ME2, and ME2X (see PA PUC Continues to Dump on Mariner East Pipes – 14 New Todos). In essence, the PUC slapped yet more bureaucratic red tape on the project. At least that was our take. Call it the glass half empty view. We spotted a mainstream media article bemoaning the fact that with this latest PUC ruling anti-drilling zealots who have hounded the project for years are now pretty much out of options and resigned that the project will get completed in the next month or so. That’s a great big glass half full!

    OOGEEP Says Oil & Gas Makes Infrastructure Bill Possible

    November 22, 2021November 22, 2021

    Vice President Kamala Harris, the disappearing Vice President (her poll numbers are even worse than Biden’s) visited Columbus, Ohio last week to tout the newly-passed so-called $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill. Wait, you didn’t know she was in Columbus? We didn’t either. She’s virtually invisible these days. At any rate, Harris failed to mention the key role fossil fuels will play in making Biden’s infrastructure plan even remotely possible to implement. Don’t worry, the Ohio Oil and Gas Energy Education Program (OOGEEP) has a column in the Columbus Dispatch providing “the rest of the story” that Cackling Kamala left out of her talk…

    Rystad Says Oil & Gas Projects to See 10% Rise in Price Inflation

    November 22, 2021November 22, 2021
    Inflation

    According to Rystad Energy, an independent energy research and business intelligence company based in Norway, supply chain costs are set to increase for oil and gas projects in the US in the next few years. How much? Rystad says engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) will be hit with higher wage and material costs to the tune of a 10% increase by 2023, representing an extra $1.4 billion paid over what companies pay for the same thing today. Ouch.
