The Shale Gas News, heard every Saturday at 10 AM on 94.3 FM, 1510 AM, 1600 AM, 104.1 FM and Sundays on YesFM, talked about Hydrogen Hubs, LNG export plants, fracking study and much more last week.
The Shale Gas News has grown again to the Williamsport area on stations WEJS 1600 AM & 104.1 FM. The Shale Gas News is now broadcasting in Bradford, Lackawanna, Lancaster, Lebanon, Luzerne, Lycoming, Pike, Sullivan, Susquehanna, Tioga and Wayne Counties, as well as in greater central PA and now the Williamsport area. The Shale Gas News is aired on Saturday or Sunday depending on the station.
Every Saturday Rusty Fender, Matt Henderson and I host a morning radio show to discuss all things shale gas. This week we replayed a couple of past interviews with Daniel B. Markind, Esq., Flaster Greenberg PC, Forbes contributor, MarcellusShaleUpdate.com from June 11, 2022 and Ty Yost , Assistant to the Executive Director for District Services at Luzerne Intermediate Unit 18 from July 2, 2022.
The Shale Gas News, typically, is broadcast live. On the October 22nd show (click above), we covered the following new natural gas territory (see news excerpts below):
- EQT, Williams, Dominion Back WV in Race to Get Hydrogen Hub. In something of a shocker, EQT Corporation, the largest natural gas producer in the country with its headquarters (and most major drilling operations) in Pennsylvania, is throwing its weight and support behind a coalition in West Virginia to attract one of the so-called regional hydrogen hubs (worth $1 billion or more in taxpayer investment) to the Mountain State, not to the Keystone State. EQT is one of the main players in forming a new coalition called the Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub (ARCH2). Other big energy companies supporting ARCH2 include Williams, Dominion Energy, CNX Resources, and New Fortress Energy (among many more).
- Special Edition: POGLA Presentation 2022. MDN Editor Jim Willis had the honor of presenting today at the Pennsylvania Oil & Gas Landowner Alliance (POGLA) annual meeting. Jim took on the topic of SWOT: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats for PA Shale Drilling. The aim was to inform landowners and rights owners about where we find ourselves today, what influences more (or less) drilling for hydrocarbons in the state, and how landowners and rights owners can potentially take advantage of our current status. Jim put in a lot of research and thinking into the presentation.
- A Closer Look at EQT’s $5.2B Purchase of Tug Hill’s THQ Appalachia. In September, EQT Corporation announced it is buying Tug Hill Operating’s West Virginia shale assets for $5.2 billion. The deal adds 90,000 acres and 800 MMcf/d (million cubic feet per day) of production to EQT’s existing, massive, portfolio. Although we shared many of the details about the transaction (as provided by EQT), RBN Energy has done a deeper dive into the deal, looking at what it means for EQT, and what it means for the entire region.
- Multiple New East Coast LNG Export Plants Under Consideration. Chesapeake Energy is interested in new LNG export projects–but not just LNG exported along the Gulf Coast near its new Haynesville assets. Chessy is jazzed about the possibilities of exporting LNG along the East Coast. The company has its eye on a project announced for the Philadelphia area, on the Delaware River. But here’s the new news: Chesapeake says, “There are a couple of companies that are trying to get [LNG] plants operational in Maryland” as well as on the Delaware River. Holy smokes! This is the first we’re hearing about potential new LNG plants along the Maryland coastline.
- First Signs Appear that Cancer/Fracking in Kids Study in Trouble. Nearly two years ago, Gov. Tom Wolf announced a $2.5 million contract had been awarded to the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health to “conduct research on the potential health effects of hydraulic fracturing in Pennsylvania”. As we pointed out from the beginning, to study a single potential cause for cancer (fracking) and not any other causes (like a nearby abandoned uranium dump), is not real science. We’ve been critical of Pitt researchers, but maybe they are attempting real science after all. Why? The typical tight coalition of Big Education and Big Green is beginning to break down. Pitt researchers will not participate in a meeting being organized by anti-fossil fuel zealots that supposedly would provide an update on the so-called fracking-causes-cancer study.
