Weekly Shale Drilling Permits for PA, OH, WV: Jul 5-11
July 14, 2021July 14, 2021

Last week not a whole lot of permit action was goin’ on. Pennsylvania scored only a single (1) new permit. We can’t remember the last time that happened! The PA permit was for a well that will be drilled by EQT in Greene County. Ohio’s Utica got skunked with no new permits. West Virginia rode in to save the day, posting 5 new permits–4 of them for Tug Hill and 1 for Antero Resources.

More M-U Cos. Join ONE Future Low Methane Emissions Group
June 1, 2021June 1, 2021

A coalition of upstream (drilling), midstream (pipeline), and downstream (utility) companies formed an industry group called ONE Future back in 2014. The aim of the group is to lower methane emissions across all aspects of the natural gas infrastructure system nationwide and to emit (lose into the atmosphere) no more than 1% by 2025. A number of Marcellus/Utica companies have joined (see our previous ONE Future stories here). Since March, nine more companies have joined, including Blue Racer Midstream, Tug Hill Operating, and Banpu. It’s a stampede!

Which M-U Drillers are Likely Next Targets for Acquisition?
May 21, 2021May 21, 2021

M&A, or mergers & acquisitions, is on everyone’s mind in the oil and gas industry. Particularly in the Marcellus/Utica region. EQT, under the leadership of Toby Rice, already the largest natural gas producer in the country, has been on the prowl. In the past eight months EQT has picked up all of Chevron’s M-U assets (see EQT Buys Chevron M-U Assets for $735M, Floats $350M in New Stock) and most recently, EQT picked up all of Alta Resources’ M-U assets (see EQT Buys Alta Res. PA Assets for $2.9B in “Transformative” Deal). EQT is still in the hunt (see Even After Chevron, EQT Still in Hunt to Buy CNX, Other Producers). Who’s next on the list to get acquired? We have some possibilities.

An unusual situation for permits to drill new wells for last week. Pennsylvania only had 5 new permits while West Virginia had 12 new permits. It’s typically the other way around. Could this be the beginning of the effects from PA raising the permit fee from $5,000 to $12,500 per well? Maybe! Ohio had no new Utica permits issued last week. Drilling seems to have slowed in the Buckeye State.
