Oil & Gas Awards Summits, Looking Back & Looking Forward [Video]

December 4, 2014December 4, 2014

In October, MDN editor Jim Willis had the pleasure of once again participating in two regional Oil & Gas Award Summits–this time in Dallas, TX and in Oklahoma City, OK. Yes, a little bit out of the Marcellus/Utica orbit, but the event organizers asked nicely. 🙂 It was a blast meeting and talking with oil and gas people in other regions of the country. What a breath of fresh air to visit states like Texas and Oklahoma–where the average resident actually likes the O&G industry! Jim was there to moderate two panel sessions at each event (links to videos to view all four sessions below). Once again the O&G Awards are coming to Pittsburgh, in March 2015. Jim previously sent an email to MDN subscribers, but we also want to post a notice here. There’s a fast-approaching deadline of Dec. 11, 2014 to submit your company for consideration for an award. We have the details…

MDN Quote on Obama EPA/BLM Featured in National Publication

October 21, 2014October 21, 2014

hat tip A hat tip and big thank you to national conservative news/blog site The Daily Caller–a major source of news both inside and outside the Washington, DC beltway. MDN was reading a story on a topic of interest to us in The DC–about President Obama’s EPA and Bureau of Land Management waiting until after the election until they unveil more onerous new regulations on the oil and gas industry–when early in the story we spotted this quote from/reference to MDN…

MDN Research: $58B in NE Infrastructure Projects, List of Top 5

October 14, 2014October 14, 2014

2014 Databook Vol. 2 cover Marcellus Drilling News collaborates with the excellent ShaleNavigator service to publish a series of research reports called the Marcellus and Utica Shale Databook. MDN editor Jim Willis is very excited to announce that Volume 2 for the 2014 Databook series has just been released–and it is, without question, our best-ever. Among the pearls in this newest edition: Jim completely updated a comprehensive list of Marcellus/Utica Shale midstream and infrastructure projects (pipelines and processing plants) that first appeared in Vol. 2 of last year’s series. At that time, in 2013, projects either under construction or planned added up to a staggering $40 billion of investment coming to the northeast. This year? It’s even more mind-blowing. Infrastructure projects planned for the northeast now tally $58 billion–a 45% increase! Read on for the list of the top 5 big-money projects planned for the Marcellus/Utica…

Come Meet MDN at O&G Awards in Dallas & OKC in October

October 13, 2014October 13, 2014

MDN editor Jim Willis is pleased to participate in a series of Oil & Gas Awards events later this month. Jim has been asked to moderate two panel discussions at both the Southwest Oil & Gas Awards event being held in Dallas, TX on Oct. 23, and two panel discussions at the Midcontinent Oil & Gas Awards event in Oklahoma City, OK on Oct. 29.

Attend the one-day conference at either event (or at the third event in Bakersfield, CA on Oct. 21) for FREE. This is a golden opportunity for me to get to meet you, and for you to hear industry leaders from both the upstream and midstream discuss the most important regional issues affecting the oil and gas industry. Just head on over to this special page to register (seating is limited, register now): //www.oilandgasawards.com/mdn/. Here’s what you’ll hear at each event…

MDN @ Shale Insight

September 25, 2014

$frack on!$ MDN editor Jim Willis is attending Shale Insight this week. Today (Thursday) is the last day. Sadly, that means no stories posted today. But have no fear, MDN will be back tomorrow (Friday).

A teaser: Jim conducted an interview with PA Sec. of the Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP) Chris Abruzzo on Wednesday. It was a wide-ranging interview in which Jim asked the Secretary about the recent Range Resources fine of $4.15 million, the list of 243 cases of “water contamination” from fracking in PA, PA Attorney General Eugene DePasquale’s report knocking the DEP, and the challenges and delightful surprises he’s experienced since taking over the DEP in April of 2013. Look for that interview either Friday or Monday.

A special thank-you: Last night Jim helped host the NGI (Natural Gas Intelligence) Riverboat Cruise. We had a TERRIFIC time with NGI and MDN friends aboard. Thanks to everyone who turned up. It was a great pleasure getting to know you better. Congrats to those who won the NGI raffle of a Kindle Fire, Nexus tablet and Apple iPad Mini.

Until tomorrow, frack on!
