Last Friday, Joementia announced he is putting “a temporary pause on pending decisions of Liquefied Natural Gas exports.” The reason? The so-called “climate crisis” is “the existential threat of our time.” It’s all rubbish. The real reason is that he bowed to radical leftists in his own party. He needs them if he has a…
Read More...The mayor of Chester, PA (a suburb of Philadelphia), Sefan Roots, boldly proclaimed over the weekend that an LNG export project planned for his community called Penn LNG is “dead in the water.” He bases his claim on Joe Biden’s recent declaration that all LNG export projects are “on pause” (see White House Makes it…
Read More...The White House has made official what we warned you about yesterday (see Biden Attacks NatGas by Blocking 17 U.S. LNG Export Terminals). This morning, the Biden administration announced it has put “a temporary pause on pending decisions of Liquefied Natural Gas exports.” The reason? The so-called “climate crisis” is “the existential threat of our…
Read More...Two weeks ago, MDN warned you that the Bidenistas were conducting a secret “review,” being led by the Department of Energy (DOE), to evaluate whether regulators should consider mythical “climate change” when deciding whether a proposed natural gas export project meets “the national interest” (see Bidenistas Look to Block Authorization of New LNG Export Projects)….
Read More...Dominion Energy wants to build a liquified natural gas (LNG) storage facility in Person County, North Carolina, to enhance natural gas service reliability for residential and business customers in the growing region (see NC Residents Freak Out Over Proposed Dominion LNG Storage Tank). Dominion studied several potential sites and collected a boatload of data during…
Read More...According to Reuters, the amount of natural gas flowing to U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) export plants (called feedgas) dropped to a one-year low this week as an Arctic freeze caused some energy firms to divert fuel to the domestic market, and as Freeport LNG’s facility in Texas experienced mechanical problems. Yep, another outage at…
Read More...An unfortunate incident to report. Yesterday morning, a compressed natural gas (CNG) tractor trailer registered to and owned by Xpress Natural Gas (XNG), based in Montrose, Pennsylvania, hit a patch of snow, lost control, struck a barrier, bounced off, and struck the median barrier, causing the trailer to detach. The trailer landed on the rear…
Read More...Here’s a story we became aware of several weeks ago but have not shared until now because we could not (still cannot) confirm some of the details. A tractor trailer hauling compressed natural gas (CNG) “from Pennsylvania” crashed into a low bridge in Glenville (Schenectady County), NY, near Albany, on Thursday, Dec. 21. The driver…
Read More...Even though separately (and together) Chesapeake Energy and Southwestern Energy own MORE assets in the Marcellus/Utica than in the Haynesville shale play, the main driver to do a merger between the two companies is the Haynesville and that play’s close proximity to LNG export facilities along the Gulf Coast. That is the conclusion of most…
Read More...Somewhat lost in yesterday’s big news of the Chesapeake/Southwestern merger (which sucked up most of the news oxygen) was an announcement by EQT Corporation, the current largest natural gas producer in the U.S. EQT unveiled a new 15-year deal with Glenfarne Energy’s Texas LNG export facility to liquefy 0.5 million tons per annum (MTPA) for…
Read More...A press release out of Oslo, Norway, caught our attention. It was issued by Hexagon Agility, a business of Hexagon Composites. Hexagon said it had received an order from REV LNG for its TITAN Mobile Pipeline® modules — compressed natural gas (CNG) containers that get stacked on a trailer and hauled from point A to…
Read More...Yesterday, MDN told you that Constellation Energy, the owner and operator of the Everett LNG terminal, is actively trying to find new contracted customers so it can keep the import terminal open (see Boston LNG Import Terminal Still Looking for Customers to Stay Open). Today, we have another story about the Everett terminal and why…
Read More...In early December, MDN updated you on the very real possibility that Everett LNG import terminal (Boston area), which accepts and regasifies foreign-sourced natural gas, may shut down this May following the closure of New England’s biggest natural gas-fired power plant, the Mystic Generating Station in Everett, MA (see Constellation May Have to Close Boston…
Read More...EQT CEO Toby Rice appeared on CNBC’s ‘Money Movers’ program last Friday to discuss what he expects for natural gas prices this year, what lower natural gas production means for EQT, and more. It was an interesting segment (watch it below; it is just four minutes long). Rice said, among other things, that a key…
Read More...Wow! That was fast! On Dec. 27, pipeline giant Williams issued a press release to announce a deal to buy six underground natural gas storage facilities located in Louisiana and Mississippi with a total capacity of 115 billion cubic feet (Bcf), as well as 230 miles of gas transmission pipeline and 30 pipeline interconnects, for…
