    Haughty John Kerry Puts NatGas “on Notice” – 10 Years & You’re Done

    April 22, 2022April 22, 2022

    In a new attack from the Bidenistas, the haughty John F. Kerry (the definition of a D.C. swamp dweller) threatened the entire natural gas industry in an interview yesterday with his fellow lefties at Bloomberg. The uber-arrogant Kerry put the natural gas industry “on notice” that it has a maximum of 10 years to figure out how to trap every last molecule of escaping methane and every last molecule of carbon dioxide post-combustion–or the industry will suffer a total and sudden death. The political intelligentsia will demand the execution of natgas (maybe even those who extract and flow it) no later than 10 years from now. According to Kerry, this is how it works in Amerika, land of the enslaved and home of the coward.

    Kinder Morgan Considers Expanding Marcellus-fed Elba Island LNG

    April 22, 2022April 22, 2022
    Elba Island LNG terminal

    It’s very early days, but Kinder Morgan’s top brass said earlier this week it is considering the possibility of expanding its Elba Island, Georgia LNG export operation. Possibly. Maybe. During the company’s quarterly update on Wednesday, an analyst asked Kinder CEO Steve Kean whether he might consider either expanding Elba Island’s output, or potentially selling the facility altogether. Here was the response…

    Electric Generator Company Signs Deal to Buy EQT Certified NatGas

    April 22, 2022April 22, 2022

    Bloom Energy, a provider of fuel cells that convert natural gas (or biogas, or hydrogen) into electricity without combustion, meaning no carbon dioxide emissions, has signed a two-year deal to buy all of its natural gas to power fuel cells at some 700 locations from EQT. But it’s not just any natural gas Bloom is buying–it’s EQT’s certified responsible natural gas. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

    Conf. Tackles Question of How to Attract $2B Hydrogen Hub to M-U

    April 22, 2022April 22, 2022

    Yesterday MDN friend Joe Barone from ShaleDirectories.com hosted the Appalachian Hydrogen & Carbon Capture Conference in Canonsburg, PA. By all accounts, it was a terrific event. One of the panels caught our eye. Speakers from Shell, Equinor, and U.S. Steel addressed the issue of attracting one of the four $2 billion hydrogen hubs promised as part of the infrastructure law to the Marcellus/Utica region. We were happy to see what they said about those efforts.

    It’s Worship the Earth Day 2022! Today We Celebrate Fossil Fuels

    April 22, 2022April 22, 2022

    Today is the annual day when environmental wackos demand fealty to Mother Earth. You WILL bow down and worship the creation (instead of the Creator), or risk being excommunicated from polite company. We thumb our noses at Earth Day worshipers and declare our love for the miracle of fossil energy on this Earth Day. We invite you to join us in celebrating the greatest invention of mankind–fossil fuels.

    Partial Marcellus Flows Begin on Adelphia Gateway Pipe Near Philly

    April 21, 2022April 21, 2022

    New Jersey Resources’ Adelphia Gateway project converts an old oil pipeline stretching from Northampton County, PA through Bucks, Montgomery, and Chester counties, terminating in Delaware County at Marcus Hook, into a natural gas pipeline. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued final approval for the project in December 2019 (see FERC Issues Final OK for Southeast PA Adelphia Gateway Pipeline). The project converts 50 miles of an existing 84-mile pipeline from oil to natural gas. The northern 34 miles of the pipeline were previously converted to deliver natural gas in 1996. Portions of the final section began to flow Marcellus gas on Monday.

    KeyState Plans Second NatGas-to-Hydrogen Plant in OH or WV

    April 21, 2022April 21, 2022

    KeyState LLC is developing 7,000 acres of natural gas fields and geological storage in West Keating Township, Clinton County in the middle of coal and iron country in central Pennsylvania (see Innovative Clinton County, PA Petchem Plant Gets More Investors). KeyState to Zero, as it’s called, is a $400 million petrochemical project that will use carbon capture and storage to produce blue hydrogen, blue ammonia, nitrogen fertilizer, and exhaust treatment for power plants and diesel engines. Yesterday at a conference in Washington, PA, Perry Babb, CEO of KeyState LLC, told the attendees that he is working on a plan to build a second, similar facility–but this time not in Pennsylvania.

    Adding Hydrogen to Interstate NatGas Pipelines Opens a Can of Worms

    April 21, 2022April 21, 2022

    Getting hydrogen from point A to point B by mixing it with and flowing it through existing interstate natural gas pipelines sounds easy. Just hook up to a handy source of hydrogen and let the molecules flow and mingle with methane molecules, right? However, adding hydrogen (H2) to existing methane (CH4) pipelines is NOT a simple thing. There are major roadblocks to flowing H2 through CH4 pipes.

    U.S. on Track to Become World’s Largest LNG Exporter in 2022

    April 21, 2022April 21, 2022

    When we say “natural gas exports,” what do you think about? Likely big LNG cargo ships and big LNG liquefaction plants that sit along our coastlines, right? Did you know that until roughly 2020, more natural gas was exported from the United States via pipelines than by LNG cargo ships? LNG exports are a relatively new phenomenon for the U.S. Yet in a short span of time LNG exports have eclipsed pipeline exports and will continue to do so, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), for the foreseeable future.

    Contrary to Words of Support, Biden Uses NEPA to Block New O&G

    April 21, 2022April 21, 2022

    In January 2020, President Trump announced a list of proposed changes to the 50-year-old National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in an effort to strip away some of the governmental red tape that has built up over the years like plaque in an artery, preventing important infrastructure projects like pipelines, dams, bridges, and roads from getting built (see Trump Seeks to Speed Up Pipeline Projects by Tweaking NEPA Law). Over the past 20 years or so the left has become expert in their use of NEPA to block new projects, claiming environmental harms. Trump reversed that trend when his tweaks to NEPA went into effect in 2020 (see Trump Admin Releases Updates to National Environmental Policy Act). Joe Biden has just reversed it all and has, once again, proven he is an enemy of oil and gas development.

    Of Canada’s 5 East Coast LNG Export Projects, Will Any Get Built?

    April 21, 2022April 21, 2022

    In early March MDN brought you information from the Toronto Financial Post that said the Ukrainian crisis has put East Coast Canada LNG export facilities “back on the map” (see Ukraine Crisis Injects New Life into East Coast Canada LNG Exports). That post talked about two potential LNG export facilities–Pieridae Energy’s Goldboro LNG project, located in Nova Scotia, and Repsol’s St. John LNG project in St. John, New Brunswick. However, there are actually five proposed LNG export facilities announced for the Canadian East Coast. Which one(s), if any, stand a chance of getting a final investment decision (FID) and getting built?

    National Grid Surrenders, Dumping Fossil Energy in NY-MA by 2050

    April 20, 2022April 20, 2022

    If you still live in New York or Massachusetts and National Grid is your utility company, now is the time to move. Preferably to another state. National Grid has finally waved the white flag of surrender to the leftist mob that demands the elimination of all fossil energy. National Grid will force its customers to quit using fuel oil and “non-renewable” natural gas by 2050 at the latest–forcing its customers to use electric heat pumps instead. By our estimates, National Grid customers can expect to pay 4-5X more than anyone else for their energy. Escape while you can!
