EQT Production Co. v. Opatkiewicz et al. - Decision
•
0 likes•1,189 views
The Court of Common Pleas of the State of Pennsylvania, County of Allegheny decision in favor of EQT (shale driller) allowing them to drill horizontally under properties they already have leased that are contiguous. The landowners, under old leases, objected saying EQT would have to drill on each property individually. The court upheld a newer PA law, SB 259, saying the law does not abridge existing rights or create new rights and allows EQT to drill the way it wants to.

A so-called research paper by Cornell professor Robert Howarth who attempts to prop up his wild theories that methane is worse for the earth than burning coal by reviewing other people's research and issuing so-called reports in so-called "peer reviewed" (and obscure) online journals. The original is published here: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ese3.35/fullOOGA's DeBrosse Memorial Report: 2013 Oil & Gas Activity in Ohio
The annual report issued by the Ohio Oil & Gas Association (OOGA) each year. The most recent report (released in March 2014 at OOGA's annual winter meeting) shows the pickup in 2013 of Utica Shale drilling. The report contains a number of very useful maps and stats about recent permitting and drilling in the Ohio Utica Shale.
Natural Gas Health Effects Survey - Wheeling, WV
A survey being sponsored by the Wheeling-Ohio County Health Department that supposedly will determine if natural gas drilling in that part of WV is having an impact on so-called public health. The survey asks questions about common ailments suffered by everyone at one time or another, and then will compare the results to see if people living near drilling have an increase in those symptoms. The fatal problem with the survey is that it's completely self-reported. People lie and will do so on this survey. Therefore, the results will be null and void.
JLCNY Lawsuit Against DEC "Memorandum of Law" - Precedents & Applicatory Law
In legalese, this is the "Memorandum of Law in Support of Petitioners-Plaintiffs' Verified Petition and Complaint," part of the Article 78 lawsuit brought by the Joint Landowners Coalition of New York against Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Dept. of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Joe Martens, and State Health Commissioner Nirav Shah, requesting the court to force them to release the draft SGEIS shale drilling or "fracking" regulations. This document lays out the various state laws involved in the case--laws that have a bearing. It also lays out previous case law and decisions being used by the JLCNY's attorneys as justification for their complaint/request to the court. The judge will use this to evaluate the legal arguments brought forth by the JLCNY.
WV House Bill 4411 Allowing Shale Drill Cuttings in Special Landfills
West Virginia House Bill (HB) 4411 was passed by a special session of the WV legislature on Friday, March 14. The bill removes caps from landfills on receiving drill cuttings. However, it also establishes in law strict requirements that landfills accepting drill cuttings (over a specified volume) must construct a special cell to store the cuttings, must monitor the leachate coming from the landfill, and must install radiation detectors at the landfill. The bill now goes to WV Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin who is expected to sign it.
Quarterly legislative action update: Marcellus and Utica shale region (4Q16)
A quarterly update from the legal beagles at global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright. A quarterly legislative action update for the second quarter of 2016 looking at previously laws acted upon, and new laws introduced, affecting the oil and gas industry in Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia.
Five facts about shale: it’s coming back, and coming back strong
The document summarizes five key facts about the recovery of US shale oil production:
1) Rig counts have increased by 90% since bottoming out in May 2016 and are up 30% year-over-year, signaling increased drilling and production capacity.
2) While decline rates remain steep, production profiles have increased substantially due to technological advances, meaning aggregate supply will be stronger.
3) Preliminary data shows that net new shale supply turned positive in December 2016 for the first time since March 2015, recovering just 7 months after rig counts increased.
4) Increased drilling activity is supported by a large stock of drilled but uncompleted wells, demonstrating the recovery and expansion of the shale sector.

A letter from Rover Pipeline to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission requesting the agency issue the final certificate that will allow Rover to begin tree-clearing and construction of the 511-mile pipeline through Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio and Michigan. If the certificate is delayed beyond the end of 2016, it will delay the project an extra year due to tree-clearing restrictions (to accommodate federally-protected bats).
DOE Order Granting Elba Island LNG Right to Export to Non-FTA Countries
An order issued by the U.S. Dept. of Energy that allows the Elba Island LNG export facility to export LNG to countries with no free trade agreement with the U.S. Countries like Japan and India have no FTA with our country (i.e. friendly countries)--so this is good news indeed. Although the facility would have operated by sending LNG to FTA countries, this order opens the market much wider.
LSE Study: Fracking is Revitalizing U.S. Manufacturing
A study released in December 2016 by the London School of Economics, titled "On the Comparative Advantage of U.S. Manufacturing: Evidence from the Shale Gas Revolution." While America has enough shale gas to export plenty of it, exporting it is not as economic as exporting oil due to the elaborate processes to liquefy and regassify natural gas--therefore a lot of the gas stays right here at home, making the U.S. one of (if not the) cheapest places on the planet to establish manufacturing plants, especially for manufacturers that use natural gas and NGLs (natural gas liquids). Therefore, manufacturing, especially in the petrochemical sector, is ramping back up in the U.S. For every two jobs created by fracking, another one job is created in the manufacturing sector.

The letter asks Trump to dump the CPP on Day One when he takes office, and asks Congress to adopt legislation to prevent the EPA from such an egregious overreach ever again.Report: New U.S. Power Costs: by County, with Environmental Externalities
Natural gas and wind are the lowest-cost technology options for new electricity generation across much of the U.S. when cost, public health impacts and environmental effects are considered. So says this new research paper released by The University of Texas at Austin. Researchers assessed multiple generation technologies including coal, natural gas, solar, wind and nuclear. Their findings are depicted in a series of maps illustrating the cost of each generation technology on a county-by-county basis throughout the U.S.
U.S. Crude Oil and Natural Gas Proved Reserves, Year-end 2015
Annual report issued by the U.S. Energy Information Administration showing oil and natural gas proved reserves, in this case for 2015. These reports are issued almost a year after the period for which they report. This report shows proved reserves for natural gas dropped by 64.5 trillion cubic feet (Tcf), or 16.6%. U.S. crude oil and lease condensate proved reserves also decreased--from 39.9 billion barrels to 35.2 billion barrels (down 11.8%) in 2015. Proved reserves are calculated on a number of factors, including price.
U.S. EIA's Drilling Productivity Report - December 2015
The document is a report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration analyzing oil and gas production from seven regions in the U.S. It includes charts and tables showing historical and projected production levels of oil and gas from each region from 2008 to 2017, as well as metrics like the average production per rig. The regions - Bakken, Eagle Ford, Haynesville, Marcellus, Niobrara, Permian, and Utica - accounted for 92% of domestic oil production growth and all domestic natural gas production growth from 2011-2014.
Velocys Plan to "Build the Business" - Gas-to-Liquids Plants

Onerous new regulations for the Pennsylvania Marcellus Shale industry proposed by the state Dept. of Environmental Protection. The new regs will, according to the DEP, help PA reduce so-called fugitive methane emissions and some types of air pollution (VOCs). This is liberal Gov. Tom Wolf's way of addressing mythical man-made global warming.
US EIA's December 2016 Short-Term Energy Outlook
The monthly Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO) from the U.S. Energy Information Administration for December 2016. This issue makes a couple of key points re natural gas: (1) EIA predicts that natural gas production in the U.S. for 2016 will see a healthy decline over 2015 levels--1.3 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) less in 2016. That's the first annual production decline since 2005! (2) The EIA predicts the average price for natural gas at the benchmark Henry Hub will climb from $2.49/Mcf (thousand cubic feet) in 2016 to a whopping $3.27/Mcf in 2017. Why the jump? Growing domestic natural gas consumption, along with higher pipeline exports to Mexico and liquefied natural gas exports.
Northeast Gas Association's 2016 Statistical Guide
This document provides an overview of the natural gas market in the Northeast United States, including New England, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. It details statistics on gas customers, consumption, infrastructure like pipelines and storage, and production. A key point is that the development of the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania has significantly increased domestic gas production in the region and reduced its reliance on other supply basins and imports.
PA PUC Responses to Auditor General's Act 13 Impact Fee Audit
The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission responded to each point raised in a draft copy of the PA Auditor General's audit of how Act 13 impact fee money, raised from Marcellus Shale drillers, gets spent by local municipalities. The PUC says it's not their job to monitor how the money gets spent, only in how much is raised and distributed.

A biased look at how 60% of impact fees raised from PA's shale drilling are spent, by the anti-drilling PA Auditor General. He chose to ignore an audit of 40% of the impact fees, which go to Harrisburg and disappear into the black hole of Harrisburg spending. The Auditor General claims, without basis in fact, that up to 24% of the funds are spent on items not allowed under the Act 13 law.Clyde Mine Discharge/Tenmile Creek Water Quality Final Report
The final report from the Pennsylvania Dept. of Environmental Protection that finds, after several years of testing, no elevated levels of radiation from acid mine drainage coming from the Clyde Mine, flowing into Ten Mile Creek. Radical anti-drillers tried to smear the Marcellus industry with false claims of illegal wastewater dumping into the mine, with further claims of elevated radiation levels in the creek. After years of testing, the DEP found those allegations to be false.
FERC Order Denying Stay of Kinder Morgan's Broad Run Expansion Project
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission denied a request to stay the authorization of Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company's Broad Run Expansion Project. The Commission found that the intervenors requesting the stay did not demonstrate they would suffer irreparable harm if the project proceeded. Specifically, the Commission determined that the environmental impacts to forest and a nearby animal rehabilitation center would be insignificant. Additionally, conditioning authorization on future permits did not improperly encroach on state authority. Therefore, justice did not require granting a stay.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
