Controversy Erupts Over TGP’s Responsible Gas Pooling Service
In December, Tennessee Gas Pipeline (TGP), a subsidiary of Kinder Morgan, filed a proposal with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to implement a “responsibly sourced natural gas (RSG) supply aggregation pooling service” at select locations across the TGP system (see Tennessee Gas Pipeline Announces Responsible Gas Pooling Service). Utilities and other buyers will be able to buy RSG-certified natural gas for their customers, costing them more money. The TGP proposal at FERC is getting serious pushback from both Big Oil companies and some smaller independents.

Tennessee Gas Pipeline’s (TGP) plan to flow more Marcellus gas to Westchester and New York City is called the East 300 Upgrade Project. The project involves upgrades at two existing compressor stations (in Pennsylvania), along with building a brand new compressor station in West Milford (Passaic County), just across the border and not far from Westchester County, NY. For a second time this year, Passaic County commissioners have refused to vote in favor of a resolution opposing the project.
In an effort to flow more Marcellus natural gas to a gas-starved New York City, Kinder Morgan cut a deal with utility company Consolidated Edison in 2019 to beef up capacity along its Tennessee Gas Pipeline (TGP) that feeds NYC, allowing Con Ed to avoid cutting customers off from natgas hookups (see

Antis and leftwing environmentalists in New Jersey continue their mission to block more natural gas from flowing to New York City, threatening the residents of the city, by attacking two compressor stations in the NJ suburbs. The latest conscripts to the holy mission of defeating “fossil fuels” can be found among the weaklings who sit on the Vernon Township (NJ) Council, who voted 4-1 to oppose a proposed expansion of Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company’s compressor station in Wantage (Sussex County).
We find it kind of amusing that anti-fossil fuelers dead set against a plan by Kinder Morgan to build a new compressor station in Passaic County, NJ, and dead set against upgrading an existing compressor station in neighboring Sussex County, NJ, were all worked up to attend a Sussex County Board of Commissioners meeting where a Tennessee Gas Pipeline representative was supposed to make a presentation, but the rep didn’t show. He had (ahem) “car trouble” and couldn’t make the meeting in person. Antis were all dressed up with nowhere to go.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), now firmly under the jackboots of Chairman Richard “Dick” Glick, has just struck a major blow to five natural gas pipeline projects, four of them either located in the Marcellus/Utica or located elsewhere but will flow significant amounts of our gas. Just coming to light now is the fact that last Thursday functionaries inside the bowels of FERC issued notices to five pipeline projects that FERC has hit the pause button on finishing up final approvals so the agency can take the next six months to complete full environmental impact statements (EIS’s), gauging whether or not these projects will cause too much mythical, man-made global warming. We’d be really angry about this except our anger quotient is already exhausted with this bunch of leftist nuts.

An important issue we don’t often think about is pipeline maintenance. Natural gas pipelines have to be inspected and sometimes repaired. When that happens, it takes a portion of the pipeline out of service. When pipelines are taken out of service, natural gas doesn’t have a way to get to the same markets it was flowing to, meaning it begins to pile up in the location where it’s extracted. Further meaning too much supply in a given location, which leads to lower prices. That’s what appears to be happening in northeastern Pennsylvania right now.
The experts at RBN Energy continue their series of blog posts about pipelines that flow Marcellus/Utica gas to other regions with a look at two pipelines that connect directly to Canada: Tennessee Gas Pipeline and Empire Pipeline. In this post we learn that natural gas flows from the M-U over this past weekend hit a new record high of 17.3 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d). We also learn M-U pipelines flowed an average of 16.7 Bcf/d in April–an all-time high for any month! The problem is we’re now maxed out and need more pipelines.
