    Seneca Resources Changes e-Fracking Vendor to Evolution Well

    June 23, 2026June 24, 2026

    Seneca Resources, National Fuel Gas Company’s exploration and production arm, and Evolution Well Services announced a three-year strategic agreement to deploy electric hydraulic fracturing technology (e-fracking) across Seneca’s Appalachian Basin operations, including the Marcellus and Utica shales. The companies said Evolution’s electric frac systems, in-house power generation and field-gas conditioning will use Seneca’s own responsibly sourced natural gas to power completions. This isn’t the first time Seneca has used e-fracking.

    6/24/26 UPDATE: Seneca responded to our questions about how many frac fleets it operates, and why it chose Evolution, below.

    Boardwalk Offers Temporary Capacity Along Pipeline to Southeast

    June 23, 2026June 23, 2026

    In early April, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the Kosciusko Junction Pipeline Project in Mississippi (see FERC Issues DEIS for Boardwalk Pipe to Carry M-U Gas to Southeast). The project belongs to the Gulf South Pipeline Company, LLC (a subsidiary of Boardwalk Pipelines) and involves constructing approximately 110 miles of 36-inch natural gas pipeline. It will carry molecules from several shale plays, including the Marcellus/Utica, to markets in the Southeast. The original in-service date was supposed to be April 28, 2028. That date has been somewhat modified. Read More “Boardwalk Offers Temporary Capacity Along Pipeline to Southeast”

    Homer City Economic Boom Now Under Way from Data Center Project

    June 23, 2026June 23, 2026

    Earlier this month, Homer City Generation announced the early completion of demolition and excavation work at its Indiana County, Pennsylvania, site, marking a major milestone in transforming the former coal-fired power plant into a gas-fired power plant and AI data center complex (see PA’s Homer City Gas-Fired Project Completes Site Demolition Early). Some 1,300 skilled workers are currently on site building what will become North America’s largest energy campus of its kind. The number of workers may grow to 10,000! All of those workers in a relatively rural area like Homer City/Indiana County equals growing pains. Read More “Homer City Economic Boom Now Under Way from Data Center Project”

    Freeport LNG Returns to Full Output Following Another Outage

    June 23, 2026June 23, 2026

    Freeport LNG has become something of a punchline for its frequent outages. Except it’s no laughing matter. Outages at Freeport have happened so frequently that we’ve lost count (see our Freeport outage stories here). According to gas flow data, one of Freeport’s three “trains” was (once again) out of commission last Friday and Saturday, but came back online over the weekend. Freeport is fed, in part, with molecules from the Marcellus/Utica. Antero Resources sells some of its molecules to the Freeport facility (see Antero 4Q: Sending Gas for LNG Exports to Gulf Coast & Cove Point). We suspect other M-U drillers also sell molecules to Freeport. Hence, our ongoing interest in this facility and its somewhat regular outages.

    Coalition Asks Congress to Halt Foreign-Funded Energy Lawsuits

    June 23, 2026June 23, 2026

    Honestly, this story is likely to spike your blood pressure the way it did ours. Breathe in, breathe out. Find your calm, center space. OK. Now you’re ready to hear about it. Foreign companies and billionaires are funneling money to American NGOs and law firms that use the money to attack (in court) fossil energy companies. If a lawsuit prevails and either a settlement or a judgment is entered, the foreigners who helped finance it receive a cut of the “profits” from the settlement. And they don’t pay taxes on their so-called profits! IT IS DISGUSTING and an outright attack on our country. AND IT MUST STOP. NOW. A group of 21 energy-related organizations has sent a letter to both the U.S. House and Senate, outlining a loophole in our laws that allows this immoral practice and urging them to fix it. Pronto.
