    Enverus Launches Free Online Tool to Track Mineral Rights, Royalties

    April 20, 2022April 20, 2022

    It’s not often a new product announcement catches our attention. Enverus, previously known as Drillinginfo, sent MDN a product announcement for the company’s first consumer-facing product. It’s called MineraliQ and if you are an individual landowner or mineral rights owner, you are going to love this. MineraliQ is an online service that provides everything you need to know about your minerals in one place, including payments, well locations, and important activity near your minerals that you should know about. The new service will even help you estimate how much your mineral rights are worth now and in the future. This is seriously cool stuff. And it’s free!

    National Grid Surrenders, Dumping Fossil Energy in NY-MA by 2050

    April 20, 2022April 20, 2022

    If you still live in New York or Massachusetts and National Grid is your utility company, now is the time to move. Preferably to another state. National Grid has finally waved the white flag of surrender to the leftist mob that demands the elimination of all fossil energy. National Grid will force its customers to quit using fuel oil and “non-renewable” natural gas by 2050 at the latest–forcing its customers to use electric heat pumps instead. By our estimates, National Grid customers can expect to pay 4-5X more than anyone else for their energy. Escape while you can!

    Williams Joins Cheniere, Others to Monitor & Report GHG Emissions

    April 20, 2022April 20, 2022

    Pipeline giant Williams announced yesterday that it will collaborate with Cheniere Energy, the largest LNG exporter in the U.S., as well as other natural gas midstream companies, methane detection technology providers, and several academic institutions to implement measuring and tracking of so-called greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at natural gas gathering, processing, transmission, and storage systems. Williams will include the mighty Transco pipeline system in this project, a 10,000-mile pipeline system that flows Marcellus/Utica gas to the Gulf Coast (to Cheniere’s LNG export facilities).

    Counting Frac Spreads Shows Drilling has Reached a Fevered Pace

    Two years ago this month MDN told you about “frac spreads”–what they are and why counting frac spreads is a more reliable measure of future production than just counting rigs (see Frac Spreads – What They Are and What They Portend for 2020). A frac spread is a combination of fracturing pumps (also referred to as frac pumpers and/or pumping units), data trucks, storage tanks, chemical additive and hydration units, blenders, and other equipment needed to perform a frac stimulation of a well. What do the latest frac spread numbers tell us?

    Russia Targets U.S. & Western LNG Plants with Computer Malware

    April 20, 2022April 20, 2022

    Last Wednesday four federal government agencies, including the Department of Energy (DOE), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the National Security Agency (NSA), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), issued a joint Cybersecurity Advisory (CSA) bulletin to warn about the discovery of a highly sophisticated and effective system to attack industrial facilities. The computer malware, called Pipedream, includes the ability to cause explosions at plants, specifically including (targeted at) LNG facilities. While the four agencies don’t finger a likely suspect for creating and propagating the malware, private security experts say it likely came from Russia.

    IEA Anti-Fossil Fuelers Renew Call to Dump Natural Gas

    April 20, 2022April 20, 2022

    The leftists who have taken over the International Energy Agency (IEA) told the world last year that new oil and gas exploration should immediately stop worldwide in order to save Planet Earth from Global Warming monsters (see Intl Energy Agency Says World Should Stop All New O&G Development). In March of this year, the IEA issued a 10-point plan world governments can use to force their citizens to drive cars less, fly less, and work from home in order to fix the current oil shortage being caused by Vlad Putin’s holocaust in Ukraine (see IEA Solution to Putin Oil Shortage – Force People to Drive/Fly Less). They’re baaaaack! In a quarterly report, the IEA says the world will use slightly less natgas this year, and oh, by the way, all countries should be kicking the fossil energy habit anyway, including natgas.

    14 New Shale Well Permits Issued for PA-OH-WV Apr 11-17

    April 20, 2022April 20, 2022

    Last week Pennsylvania issued 12 new shale well permits, down three from the prior week. Coterra Energy (formerly Cabot Oil & Gas) had the most permits with four, all on the same pad in Susquehanna County. Southwestern had three permits all on the same pad in Susquehanna County. Chesapeake Energy also had a permit in Susquehanna County, making that county the top spot for new permits with eight last week. Ohio had no new shale permits issued last week. Bummer. West Virginia had just two permits, one for Southwestern Energy in Ohio County, and one for Antero Resources in Tyler County.
