    OH Court Signals Dismissal of Lawsuit Against 2 Injection Wells

    April 24, 2026April 24, 2026

    Last November, the Buckeye Environmental Network, backed by lawyers from the controversial Earthjustice, sued the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) over permitting two new shale wastewater injection wells in the Marietta area, claiming the standard used to evaluate the wells was old and out-of-date (see Antis Sue ODNR for Approving 2 Injection Wells Near Marietta, OH). The court involved, the Franklin County Court of Appeals, recently signaled it intends to dismiss Buckeye’s frivolous lawsuit.

    Inaugural Cargo Departs Golden Pass LNG, Heading to Belgium

    April 24, 2026April 24, 2026

    The Golden Pass LNG terminal is a liquefied natural gas terminal and regasification facility in Sabine Pass (Port Arthur), Texas. It is among the largest LNG facilities in the world. It can accommodate up to 15.6 million metric tons (MT) of LNG per year, the equivalent of approximately 2 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day (Bcf/d). Earlier this week, MDN told you that the facility’s very first official cargo carrier had arrived to “fill ‘er up” (see LNG Tanker Arrives at Golden Pass LNG to Export Inaugural Cargo). The Al Qaiyyah LNG tanker, which arrived at the facility on Monday, is owned by QatarEnergy (which owns 70% of the facility). Yesterday, the Al Qaiyyah left with its load and is heading, according to S&P Global, to Belgium’s Zeebrugge LNG import terminal.

    Oil & Gas Turns to AI to Reduce Costs, Unlock New Shale Growth

    April 24, 2026April 24, 2026
    AI comes to the shale field

    According to research by powerhouse consulting firm Deloitte, the U.S. shale industry has significantly reduced breakeven costs since 2015, driven by two waves of innovation in drilling and completion, and by financial discipline, making it more resilient to price volatility. A third, digital-led wave of innovation is emerging, focused on infrastructure activation, system optimization, and workforce amplification, aiming to further cut costs, enhance competitiveness, and bridge the breakeven gap with global counterparts. These efforts involve leveraging AI and analytics for exploration, integrating midstream infrastructure, optimizing value chains, implementing smart operations, and digitally transforming field-first tasks to improve efficiency and productivity.
