DOE Order Granting Elba Island LNG Right to Export to Non-FTA CountriesMarcellus Drilling News
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.
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.

Report: New U.S. Power Costs: by County, with Environmental ExternalitiesMarcellus Drilling News
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.
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.
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.

Tom Wolf's way of addressing mythical man-made global warming.
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.
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.
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.
Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission Act 13/Impact Fees Audit by PA Auditor...Marcellus Drilling News
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.
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 ProjectMarcellus Drilling News
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.

Mountaineer XPress Project - Open Season & Project Information
1. 1
Mountaineer XPress Project
Binding Open Season
March 27, 2015, through April 23, 2015
Providing firm transportation outlets for growing Marcellus and Utica Shale
production across Ohio, Southwestern Pennsylvania and West Virginia to higher
value and liquidity markets across Columbia Pipeline Group’s footprint
NOTICE OF BINDING OPEN SEASON: Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC (“TCO”), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Columbia Pipeline Group (“CPG”), is pleased to announce a binding open season for the
Mountaineer XPress Project (“MXP”) on TCO’s system. The MXP binding open season will commence at
9:00 AM CDT on March 27, 2015, and close at 4:00 PM CDT on April 23, 2015 (“Open Season”). TCO
previously held a non-binding open season for MXP that concluded on September 30, 2014, resulting in
binding commitments for most of the Project’s (defined below) design capacity.
PROJECT BACKGROUND: CPG’s TCO system continues to experience unprecedented Appalachian
production growth across its footprint in West Virginia, Southwestern Pennsylvania and Ohio. TCO’s
average day supply and market for 2014 was approximately 3.7 Bcf per day and is projected to grow to
approximately 8.0 Bcf per day by 2019. TCO has approximately 4.3 Bcf per day of projected post-2014
net supply growth, which is offset and balanced through CPG’s recently announced West Side, East Side,
Leach XPress and Rayne XPress, WB XPress, and Gulf XPress expansion projects that, in the aggregate,
will transport approximately 4.3 Bcf per day out of the Appalachian region to markets in western Ohio,
the mid-Atlantic, and Gulf Coast via related expansion projects on CPG’s Columbia Gulf Transmission
(“CGT”) system.
PROJECT OVERVIEW AND MAP: MXP will provide up to approximately 2.7 Bcf per day of firm
transportation capacity from existing or future points of receipt along or near TCO’s system, including
Clarington, Ohio, as well as very close proximity to most of the region’s third party processing plants
throughout Ohio, Southwestern Pennsylvania and West Virginia (see map below), with deliveries to the
TCO Pool; Leach, Kentucky, at an existing point of interconnection between TCO and CGT; and other
mutually agreeable points (e.g., Clarington pipeline interconnects). MXP facilities will include an
approximately 150 mile greenfield high pressure pipeline from TCO’s existing system at or near the
MarkWest Majorsville processing facility, continuing to at or near the MarkWest Sherwood processing
facility, and further to TCO’s existing SM System located between Broad Run and Leach, Kentucky,
including looping along TCO’s existing systems for approximately 2.2 Bcf per day; and various
modifications along TCO’s existing WB Line for approximately 500,000 Dth per day (collectively, the
“Project”).
2. 2
TCO has executed binding precedent agreements with anchor and non-anchor shippers that collectively
provide TCO sufficient support to move forward with the Project. The purpose of this Open Season is to
provide all interested parties the opportunity to bid on approximately 500,000 Dth per day of Project
capacity. The anticipated MXP in-service date is November 1, 2018, with potential interim service
beginning as early as the first half of 2018 for receipts along TCO’s WB Line.
ANCHOR SHIPPERS: MXP’s anchor shippers may enjoy certain benefits such as limited proration
exposure (consistently applied among the Anchor Shippers), favorable cost sharing terms, contract
extension rights, rights to pro-rated quantities of any interim service that may become available, and
other benefits negotiated on a not unduly discriminatory basis. A bidder in this Open Season may
qualify as an Anchor Shipper (defined below) by submitting a bid that includes the following minimum
terms:
• Ten year contract term for capacity from point(s) of receipt along TCO’s WB Line (“WB
Capacity”), provided however, that bidder’s aggregate requested capacity includes non-WB Line
point(s) of receipt equal to at least two times its WB Capacity, otherwise bidder’s term must be
at least fifteen years to obtain Anchor Shipper status; AND
• Minimum quantity of 300,000 Dth per day, regardless of whether the term is ten or fifteen
years.
3. 3
CONTRACT TERM: TCO reserves the right to reject any bids that provide a contract term of less than (i)
ten years, subject to the same receipt point(s) criteria reflected in the “Anchor Shippers” section above,
otherwise (ii) fifteen years.
PARTICIPATION IN THE OPEN SEASON: Interested parties wishing to submit a binding bid pursuant to
the terms and conditions of this Open Season must complete and sign a Service Request Form
(attached) before the close of the Open Season. Upon receipt of a bidder’s conforming and signed
Service Request Form, TCO will provide bidder with a precedent agreement and credit support
agreement that must be executed by bidder within thirty days of the close of the Open Season. If a
bidder does not execute a precedent agreement and credit support agreement by such deadline, TCO
reserves the right to reject bidder’s Service Request Form, cease negotiations with bidder, and
reallocate the associated capacity.
Bidders are responsible for securing their own transportation arrangements on pipeline or processing
facilities upstream and downstream of the designated receipt and delivery point(s), including ensuring
upstream connections are able to deliver gas to TCO at TCO’s prevailing line pressure, in accordance
with TCO’s FERC Gas Tariff.
By submitting and signing a Service Request Form, a bidder is committing to proceed in good faith to
negotiate and execute a binding precedent agreement with TCO, within thirty days of the close of the
Open Season, that incorporates the terms set forth in the bidder’s Service Request Form to the extent
such terms are acceptable to TCO.
AWARDING OF CAPACITY: CPG will accommodate shipper requests for capacity on each the MXP and
GXP1
projects by evaluating bids for the two projects together for the purposes of minimizing facility
costs, optimizing the combined use of capacity, and evaluating economics on a not unduly
discriminatory basis. Accordingly, while not required to participate on both MXP and GXP, bidders
desiring capacity on both MXP and GXP must submit a valid bid response in each respective open
season. After the close of this Open Season, TCO will allocate the Project’s capacity, and prorate, as
applicable, first to bidders who qualify as Anchor Shippers and then, if capacity is still available, to
bidders that did not qualify as Anchor Shippers. All bidders will be notified by TCO, no later than five
business days from the close of the Open Season, of their capacity allocation quantities, if any, and will
be required to execute a binding precedent agreement no later than thirty days after the close of the
Open Season. A bidder’s status as an Anchor Shipper will continue to apply even if the bidder’s capacity
falls below the minimum applicable quantity required to qualify as an Anchor Shipper due to any pro
rata allocation resulting from this Open Season.

Gulf XPress Project (“GXP”).
4. 4
PROJECT RATES: Estimated recourse rates will be determined at the conclusion of the Open Season
based on the facilities required to satisfy the firm service requests from bidders who have executed
binding precedent agreements. The indicative negotiated daily reservation rates for incremental
capacity from various receipt point locations to the Project’s delivery points are as follows:
Rates reflected on per Dth per day basis Deliveries to:
TCO Pool
Leach
KentuckyReceipts from :
Receipt Area 1 $ 0.450 $ 0.650
Receipt Area 2 - Majorsville $ 0.365 $ 0.565
Receipt Area 2 - Non-Majorsville $ 0.350 $ 0.550
Receipt Area 3 $ 0.250 $ 0.550
COMMODITY, FUEL AND SURCHARGES: In addition to the negotiated daily reservation rates above,
shippers will pay all applicable demand and commodity surcharges and fuel retainage under Rate
Schedule FTS as provided in TCO’s then effective FERC Gas Tariff, except for the Capital Cost Recovery
Mechanism surcharge that shippers will not pay. Deliveries to the TCO Pool will not incur any
commodity charges, commodity surcharges, or fuel.
CONSTRUCTION COST RISK SHARING: The Project’s precedent agreements will contain a mechanism
for each shipper to share in a portion of the Project’s risk of construction costs overruns or savings with
Anchor Shippers receiving more favorable cost sharing terms vs. non-Anchor Shippers on a not unduly
discriminatory basis.
RESERVATIONS OF RIGHTS: TCO reserves the right to reject any Service Request Form that (i) is not
received by the close of the Open Season, (ii) is not complete and conforming, (iii) contains delayed in-
service dates, partial year terms, or other contingencies, (iv) could adversely affect the economics or
operational viability of the Project, or (v) contains terms unacceptable to TCO. TCO also reserves the
right to immediately negotiate and enter into binding precedent agreements with bidders that have
previously bid in the non-binding open season or submitted a signed, complete and conforming Service
Request Form. Further, and without limiting their scope in any way, TCO explicitly reserves the right to
(i) conduct additional open seasons/reverse open seasons, (ii) determine or re-determine the size,
scope, and cost of the Project, (iii) not consider bids that do not provide a sufficient level of detail to aid
in the development of the Project, (iv) not consider bids that do not present CPG with sufficient
economic value, and (v) reject or accept bids or material it received after the close of this Open Season.
TCO’s decision to proceed with the Project is subject to the Project remaining economically viable
pursuant to the terms and conditions of the binding precedent agreements.
5. 5
SOLICITATION OF TURNBACK CAPACITY (REVERSE OPEN SEASON): Existing shippers on TCO desiring to
turn back capacity they believe may be used as a substitute to constructing new facilities are invited to
complete a Service Request Form and advise TCO of their desire to turn back capacity by checking the
appropriate space on the form. Such proposals must be completed and received by TCO no later than
ten business days after the commencement of the Open Season. TCO will evaluate proposals from
shippers to turn back firm transportation capacity under existing service agreements that may reduce
the amount of facilities otherwise required for the Project. However, in TCO’s sole discretion, any
capacity turn back proposal has to be compatible, economically accretive and directly offset Project
facilities that MXP proposes to modify to satisfy the Project’s requested capacity.
