    Transco Expansion to Add 1.4 Bcf/d Capacity to Flow M-U Gas South

    November 21, 2023November 21, 2023

    Some exciting news to share. Earlier this month, midstream giant Williams gave a green light to proceed with a new Transco pipeline expansion project called the Southeast Supply Enhancement. The project will flow an extra 1.4 Bcf/d (billion cubic feet per day) of Marcellus/Utica molecules southward along the Transco pipeline system, to deliver those molecules to states in the southern U.S. Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) will flow an extra 2 Bcf/d of M-U molecules to southern Virginia. Williams’ Southeast Supply Enhancement promises to flow some of those molecules further south (and southwest). This is a major new pipeline initiative that snuck up on us.

    Corporate Raider Kimmeridge Likes a Chesapeake/Southwestern Merger

    November 21, 2023November 21, 2023

    A month ago, MDN shared the rumor that Chesapeake Energy Corporation is sniffing around Southwestern Energy, looking to buy out and merge in its closest O&G peer (see Chesapeake Energy Exploring a Merger with Southwestern Energy). One of Chesapeake’s largest investors, Kimmeridge Energy Management Co. — what the financial industry calls an “activist investor” (which we call by the old term “corporate raider”) — says a merger between the two would create one of the industry’s most sought-after stocks. Kimmeridge is pushing to make it happen.

    Lib Dems Try to Fool PA Unions to Accept Radical Enviro Policies

    November 21, 2023November 21, 2023

    The environmental left is on the march in Pennsylvania, and nothing, including building trade unions, is going to stop it. Both constituencies (environmentalists and trade unions) traditionally make their political home in the Democrat Party. The problem for PA’s Democrat politicians is how to balance the ever-wacko leftward tilt of environmentalism and its jobs-killing policies (“block all shale drilling” and “no new pipelines”) with the trade unions that support fossil infrastructure like new pipelines. It is a delicate balancing act, requiring Dem politicians to convince (lie to) union members to keep their support. We’re sorry to say the unions (largely the bosses) keep falling for the lies and electing Dems. Read More “Lib Dems Try to Fool PA Unions to Accept Radical Enviro Policies”

    LNG Vessels Transiting Panama Canal Must Use Auction for Time Slots

    November 21, 2023November 21, 2023

    Three weeks ago, MDN warned you about delays with LPG (propane) and LNG ships transiting the Panama Canal (see Drought Along Panama Canal Causing Delays in Propane, LNG Exports). According to the Panama Canal Authority (APC), water levels at Gatún Lake are the lowest since at least 1995 due to an extended dry season and lower-than-normal precipitation on the Panama Canal. Gatún Lake is the artificial lake that vessels pass through to transit between the Atlantic and Pacific locks, and it holds the water supply needed to operate the lock systems of the canal. The situation has grown even more dire in just the last three weeks…

    Big Green Says Indiana Utility Plan for Gas Peaker is “Backsliding”

    November 21, 2023November 21, 2023

    Have you ever noticed how the wacko leftists of the so-called environmental movement behave (and talk) as if they are members of a religion? They use religious language all the time to describe their holy mission of cleansing the earth of evil and sinful fossil energy. Check this out. Environuts say an Indiana utility company is “backsliding” on its clean energy goals with its plan to build a gas-fired peaker plant — a plant that makes unreliable renewables (like solar and wind) possible.

    14 Years After Gasland Debuted, None of Its Predictions Came True

    November 21, 2023November 21, 2023

    Nearly 14 years after the Gasland fake documentary was released, dozens of studies have contradicted its claims about fracking. Gasland’s dire predictions didn’t come to pass. The 2010 documentary, which was written and directed by Josh Fox, portrayed fracking operations as poisoning groundwater, killing wildlife, and making people sick while corrupt oil companies profited. Remember the famous scene where a Colorado man lights his tap water on fire? It turns out it was natural methane in his water, not methane from fracking. Just one of the lies exposed about the film.

    Argentina’s New President Promises to Unleash Shale Gas & Oil

    November 21, 2023November 21, 2023
    Javier Milei

    Watch out Marcellus/Utica, and Haynesville, and Permian, and Eagle Ford, and Bakken, and SCOOP/STACK, and other major U.S. shale plays. You may have a new competitor coming (way) south of the border. Argentina has just elected a new President, Javier Milei, who promises to unleash his country’s oil and gas industry. Argentina is reputed to have the world’s second-largest deposit of shale gas in the world (and the fourth-largest deposit of shale oil). If Milei follows through and is successful in unleashing shale energy, Argentina could become an LNG exporting powerhouse, competing with the U.S. Hey, maybe a little competition is what we need to overcome the cancer of leftist global warming flummery that holds back our own O&G industry.
