    INR & NOG Close on Purchase of Antero’s Ohio Utica Assets for $1.2B

    February 24, 2026February 24, 2026

    In December, Antero Resources announced a deal to sell its Ohio Utica assets to a partnership of Northern Oil & Gas (NOG) and Infinity Natural Resources (INR) for $1.2 billion in cash (see NOG & INR Partner to Buy Antero Resources’ Ohio Utica for $1.2B). The deal includes 71,000 net acres concentrated in Ohio’s Guernsey, Belmont, and Harrison counties, producing 133 MMcfe/d (81% gas, 19% liquids) from 255 laterals. The midstream (pipeline) part of the deal includes approximately 141 miles of wholly owned midstream gathering lines and approximately 90 miles of water lines. As of yesterday, the deal closed. INR now operates those assets. Read More “INR & NOG Close on Purchase of Antero’s Ohio Utica Assets for $1.2B”

    OH Local, State Leaders Blindsided by Trump’s Big Gas-Fired Plant

    February 24, 2026February 24, 2026

    This seems kind of….odd. We’ve been tracking and reporting on what will be the country’s (and possibly the world’s) largest gas-fired power plant, coming to Portsmouth (Scioto County), Ohio. Last week, President Trump unveiled the first projects under a $550 billion trade deal with Japan, including a $36 billion investment in U.S. energy and minerals (see Trump Announces Largest-Ever U.S. Gas-Fired Plant Coming to Ohio). In exchange for reduced tariffs on imports, Tokyo committed to fund initiatives in Texas, Ohio, and Georgia. The centerpiece is a record-breaking 9.4-gigawatt, $33 billion natural gas power plant in Portsmouth, operated by SoftBank’s SB Energy (Japanese company). However, nobody told local officials in Portsmouth, nor county officials, nor even the Ohio governor. Prior to the announcement, none of them knew a thing about this “biggest ever” project.

    Tiny Expansion of Algonquin Pipe in R.I. Fires Up the Enviro Left

    February 24, 2026February 24, 2026

    The environmental left in Rhode Island is all hot and bothered over a plan to replace or add a total of 12.3 miles of pipeline for the Algonquin natural gas pipeline network. Enbridge Inc. is proposing a $300 million expansion of the Algonquin natural gas pipeline (the Algonquin Reliable Affordable Resilient Enhancement project), scheduled for 2029, that involves replacing and extending small segments across Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Radical antis in Rhode Island argue the expansion contradicts Rhode Island’s “Act on Climate” goals and promotes reliance on fossil fuels. They have, in our humble opinion, gone clinically insane over the continued use of fossil energy—including clean-burning natural gas. It’s bizarre. Read More “Tiny Expansion of Algonquin Pipe in R.I.

    Enhanced Geothermal Systems Use Fracking for Carbon-Free Energy

    February 24, 2026May 5, 2026

    The United States is developing its first large-scale commercial Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) in Utah, set for 2026. Unlike conventional geothermal energy, restricted to rare natural reservoirs, EGS uses fracking and horizontal drilling to create man-made hydrothermal wells anywhere. That’s right. Fracking provides reliable, “carbon-free,” weather-independent power anywhere via EGS. And nutty environmentalists are eating it up! If you sprinkle EGS dust over a conversation, magically gone are all of the claims that fracking contaminates the water table. That nasty chemicals are used to frack. That fracking is loud. That it uses too many trucks. That is uses way too much water. That fracking carves up forests and habitats. That it is literally destroying the earth. All of those arguments (lies) are magically gone with EGS dust sprinkled on them, revealing the hypocrisy of the environmental left.
