Seneca Gets “A” Grade Certification for 100% of Its M-U Production
Another noteworthy achievement for Seneca Resources, the wholly-owned shale drilling subsidiary of National Fuel Gas Company (NFG). All of Seneca’s natural gas production, approximately 1 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day (Bcf/d), has received an “A” letter grade under Equitable Origin’s EO100™ Standard for Responsible Energy Development certification. In August 2022, Seneca’s production received a “A” grade under the MiQ Standard for Methane Emissions Performance (see MiQ Certifies 100% of Seneca Resources’ 1 Bcf/d of M-U Production). The Seneca “student” is getting straight A’s!

For years, anti-fossil fuel haters have made the same false claims: Drilling and fracking will destroy the environment, contaminate your water, make you sick, and create death and destruction everywhere it’s tried. Then, a responsible driller, like Olympus Energy, comes along and drills wells not far from the lefties in Pittsburgh, and none of those things happen. The air is fine, the water is fine, and nothing gets polluted or contaminated. In other words, the left’s wild claims are exposed as outright lies. But that doesn’t stop the left, funded by shadowy sources, from continuing to sue and challenge time and again — even AFTER shale wells are already drilled and online!
It’s hard to underestimate the influence and role of Pennsylvania on the world’s energy sector, especially over the past 19 years with the rise of the Marcellus Shale. However, advocates for fossil energy (like the American Petroleum Institute) are expressing concerns that PA’s dominant role may change to one with far less influence. Why? Lack of pipelines to transport PA’s production to other regions (or to export plants). Their concerns are valid (see

Interest in and speculation about a potential mega-merger between Chesapeake Energy (CHK) and Southwestern Energy (SWN) continues to build. On Monday, MDN told you about a story in the Wall Street Journal citing sources who say a merger is close and could be announced this week (see 
Yes, we’ve noticed. The Henry Hub NYMEX futures price for natural gas soared yesterday. It has been on an upward trend for the last six trading days in a row. Yesterday, the NYMEX price jumped $0.21 (6.6%) to close at $3.19 per MMBtu. Spot (physical) prices have also moved higher. What’s causing it? And will the futures price now stay above $3?
Last October, MDN told you that American Energy Partners, Inc. (AEPT), based in Allentown, PA, with its fingers in several different pies, including subsidiaries in drilling, remediation, water, and more, changed its name to American Environmental Partners, Inc. (see 
In October, Pennsylvania Secretary of the Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP) Rich Negrin suddenly resigned after being on the job for less than a year (see 
A press release out of Oslo, Norway, caught our attention. It was issued by Hexagon Agility, a business of Hexagon Composites. Hexagon said it had received an order from REV LNG for its TITAN Mobile Pipeline® modules — compressed natural gas (CNG) containers that get stacked on a trailer and hauled from point A to point B. REV LNG is a full-service supplier of liquid natural gas (LNG), compressed natural gas (CNG) and renewable natural gas (RNG) specializing in development, production, supply, transportation, and distribution solutions. REV is headquartered in Mendon, NY, with major operations in Ulysses, PA.
The Bidenistas are conducting a secret “review,” being led by the Department of Energy, to evaluate whether regulators should consider mythical “climate change” when deciding whether a proposed natural gas export project meets the national interest. It is a prelude to introducing new guidelines that will almost certainly block the approval of ANY new LNG export project. Yet another attack by the Bidenistas against fossil fuels in general and natural gas in particular. Surprised? We aren’t.
The research arm of Enverus (formerly Drillinginfo), one of the most trusted, energy-dedicated SaaS platforms, offering real-time access to analytics, insights and benchmark cost and revenue data, has just released its 2024 Outlook that includes a series of reports discussing topics the organization believes will shape the energy sector this year. Enverus says, “With a tumultuous year behind us marked by escalating inflation and interest rates, the challenge of navigating the Inflation Reduction Act, and the outbreak of multiple wars, the energy industry is grappling with an atmosphere of deep uncertainty. Enverus has compiled these insights from its intelligence research division into one encompassing 2024 Outlook that includes Enverus Intelligence Research’s (EIR) key energy trends to watch.” Anything Enverus has to say is worth listening to.
Yesterday, MDN told you that Constellation Energy, the owner and operator of the Everett LNG terminal, is actively trying to find new contracted customers so it can keep the import terminal open (see 
Have you ever been around the kind of irritating person who says “No!” to everything? Someone who is perennially unhappy and loves to share that unhappiness with everyone around him or her? Someone who, when you offer valid solution after valid solution to a given “problem,” the person shoots each one down, unwilling to try anything? Such people are toxic. On an organizational level, we have a perfect example of such toxicness — the
