Neverending Story: More Work to be Done on Revolution Pipe in SWPA
June 7, 2021

Two and a half years after Energy Transfer’s (ET) 24-inch Revolution Pipeline entered service in western Pennsylvania and exploded following a landslide (in September 2018), the pipeline finally returned to service in March of this year (see PA DEP Finally Allows Revolution Pipe to Restart – After $125K Fine). Revolution Pipeline runs through Bulter, Beaver, Allegheny, and Washington counties. Even though the pipeline has been up and running since March, it’s still not completely, 100%, finished. There’s more work to be done in tidying up.

LOLA Energy’s Purchase of EdgeMarc Assets – The Backstory
March 25, 2021March 25, 2021

Yesterday we brought you the news that LOLA Energy continues to transform itself with the purchase of what was EdgeMarc Energy’s shale assets in Butler County, PA (see LOLA Energy Buys Former EdgeMarc Shale Assets in Butler County, PA). LOLA picked up 22,000 net acres of Marcellus/Utica leases, 48 producing shale wells, and 18 DUCs. Ace reporter Paul Gough from the Pittsburgh Business Times spoke with LOLA CEO Jim Crockard and got the backstory behind the deal. It seems Crockard had his eye on that part of the state “for a long time.” He even considered an offer to work for EdgeMarc years ago. Good thing he didn’t take the job.
