    Williams Launched REAE Aug. 1; Completed Marcellus South Gathering

    August 7, 2024August 7, 2024

    Pipeline giant Williams, with major assets in the Marcellus/Utica and the owner of the mighty Transco pipeline that flows huge quantities of M-U gas south and southwest, issued its second quarter 2024 update yesterday. CEO Alan Armstrong called attention to the “crisp execution of key projects” that will benefit the company. Among those projects was the BIG news that the company’s Transco Regional Energy Access Expansion (REAE) project went fully online on August 1st. Also prominently mentioned was the completion of the company’s Marcellus South gathering expansion project.

    3 Conv. Drillers Sue Multiple OH Injection Wells for Contamination

    August 7, 2024August 7, 2024

    In April, the Ohio Oil and Gas Commission upheld a regulatory order from the Ohio Dept. of Natural Resources (ODNR) suspending operations of three wastewater injection wells located in Torch (Athens County), OH, owned by K&H Partners, a subsidiary of Tallgrass Energy (see Ohio O&G Commission Votes to Shut Down 3 Athens Injection Wells). K&H subsequently applied to plug and abandon the wells (see Owner of 3 Athens, OH Injection Wells Applies to Permanently Plug). It appears that the situation has resulted in a flood of lawsuits by conventional drillers in the region, not only against K&H but also against a number of other injection wells and their owners.

    WV Landowner Lawsuit Against EQT, Diversified re Old Wells Continues

    August 7, 2024August 7, 2024

    In June 2018, MDN exclusively brought our readers the news that Diversified Gas & Oil (now called Diversified Energy) had purchased EQT Corporation’s Huron Shale assets, with a bunch of conventional wells, in Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia for $575 million (see Diversified Gas & Oil Adds to Conventional Assets in KY, VA, WV). A few months later, the West Virginia Surface Owners’ Rights Organization (WVSORO) accused EQT of selling off its conventional wells to avoid having to plug them (see WV Surface Owners Accuse EQT of Selling Wells Should be Plugged). Two years ago, in July 2022, Big Green groups used a couple of WV landowners in an attempt to launch a class action against EQT and Diversified (see Big Green Uses WV Landowners to Sue EQT, Diversified re Old Wells). There have been recent developments in the case.

    Hog Lick to Begin Work on ARCH2 Hydrogen Hub Depot

    August 7, 2024August 7, 2024

    Last November, MDN told you about Clean Fuel Services LLC, a subsidiary of Hog Lick Aggregates LLC, one of fourteen partner companies from West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania providing hydrogen production, offtake, and connective infrastructure for the Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub (ARCH2) project (see Clean Fuel Services to Build Hydrogen Depot in WV, Part of ARCH2). Clean Fuel’s role is to develop a hydrogen fuel depot in Fairmont (Marion County), WV, as part of ARCH2. The depot will provide a “one-stop-shop” for customers transitioning heavy-duty and medium-duty trucks, construction equipment, delivery vehicles, and bus fleets from diesel to hydrogen.

    The Story of Utica Oil Part 4: EOG Resources Joins the Party

    August 7, 2024August 9, 2024

    Writing for Hart Energy’s Oil and Gas Investor magazine, author Nissa Darbonne penned a fabulous overview of the Utica, bringing us the history of oil drilling in Ohio (in the 1800s) all the way up to the present day and Encino Energy’s dominance in oil drilling in the Utica. The article includes details about Encino and other companies, including Infinity Natural Resources and EOG Resources. Yesterday, we brought you the secrets of the fracking recipe in the Utica used by Encino and INR (see The Story of Utica Oil Part 3: The Secret Fracking Recipe). Today, we will tell you about oil and gas giant EOG Resources joining the Utica party.

    Freeport LNG to Expand Output… IF It Can Stay Online

    August 7, 2024August 7, 2024

    Here’s a bit of good news, possibly. The Freeport LNG export facility, located on Quintana Island, near Freeport, Texas, currently exports 15.3 million metric tons per annum (MTPA). That is when it’s up and running. The plant was most recently down for most of July following a visit by Hurricane Beryl (see Freeport LNG Returns to Full Production After Outage Since July 7). There have been too many ups and downs with the Freeport facility to count since it opened two years ago. The new news is that Freeport has been working on tweaks to the facility that will increase its export capacity by 8% to 16.5 MTPA.

    Bidenistas Appeal Court Decision, Seek to Continue LNG Approval Ban

    August 7, 2024August 7, 2024

    In January, Joementia announced he would “pause” any approvals for new LNG export plants (currently 17 requests in the pipeline) for at least one year while his people fart around pretending to figure out how to measure global warming as a new consideration for whether or not to approve such projects (see White House Makes it Official – Biden Declares War on LNG Exports). It was a purely political move aimed at currying favor with the radical left. In March, 16 state Attorneys General filed a lawsuit asking a federal judge to end the pause, which is causing their states economic harm (see 16 States Sue Biden Admin Over Pause in LNG Export Approvals). On July 1, a federal judge in Louisiana agreed with the states and ordered the Biden administration to resume issuing permits for new LNG export facilities (see Federal Judge Orders Biden DOE to Resume Issuing LNG Export Permits). Surprise! The Bidenistas have appealed the judge’s decision, hoping to continue blocking new LNG approvals.
