DRBC Revised Draft Natural Gas Development Regulations - Nov 2011
The final version of drilling regulations that will allow shale gas drilling on land protected by the Delaware River Basin Commission. These rules are the culimination of several years of research and hearings by the DRBC.
EPA New Rules Governing Air Pollution Standards for Hydraulic Fracturing
New rules (40 CFR Part 63) issued by the Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday, April 18 that will govern air pollution standards at oil and gas drilling operations, in particular at well sites using hydraulic fracturing (fracking). The EPA claims that the new standards will mean drillers will capture more gas that currently "leaks" into the atmosphere during drilling completions, and that the extra gas can be sold to offset the cost of new equipment and procedures required under the regulations.
PennEnvironment: Marcellus Shale Gas Drilling Violiations in PA 2008-2011
This document analyzes environmental violations by Marcellus Shale gas drilling companies in Pennsylvania between 2008-2011. It found a total of 3,355 violations by 64 companies, with over 2,300 posing a direct environmental threat. The top violations related to erosion/sedimentation plans and pollution prevention. The companies with the most violations were Cabot Oil & Gas Corp, Chesapeake Appalachia LLC, and Chief Oil & Gas LLC. Stricter penalties, bonding requirements, and increased funding for enforcement are recommended to curb violations.

Penn State professor Dr. Terry Engelder peer reviewed a new study by Duke University on the possible migration of brine (salty water) from thousands of feet below the surface into surface water aquifers. The implication is that drilling fluids may also find their way to the surface along the same pathways. Engelder says in his objections that important issues are not addressed in this study and therefore it does not deserve peer reviewed publication in PNAS.Economic Assessment Report for the NY SGEIS

The Potential for Earthquakes in the Quebec Utica Shale
A presentation titled "The Stability of Fault Systems in the South Shore of the St. Lawrence Lowlands of Quebec - Implications for Shale Gas Development, presented members of the Society of Petroleum Engineers. This is a technical presentation that makes the case that while hydraulic fracturing does indeed cause small seismic events -- "earthquakes" -- those earthquakes are tiny and not detectable on the surface and cause no damage to underground or above ground structures.
Recent Pennsylvania Job Trends: Effects of Shale?
An economic analysis and forecast of job trends in Pennsylvania by Wells Fargo Securities' Economics Group. The analysis shows that Marcellus Shale drilling has led to a dramatic growth in jobs in not only counties where drilling is occuring, but also in all of the counties throughout the state--because of shale gas drilling.
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.

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.

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

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.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.
