*UPDATE III* The Latest RUMA

Energy In Depth's Mike Chadsey reports on a recent Road Usage Maintenance Agreement (RUMA) from PDC Energy:

"UPDATE III (4/19/13, 2:55 pm ET)

For over a year, Energy in Depth has updated our readers about RUMAs, which are agreements between a producer and a county that cover road repairs, upgrades and bonding. The idea behind the RUMA is simple: Leave it better than you found it. Perhaps even more important is that the agreement stipulates designated travel…

Natural Gas Heat - The Ithaca Commons Thread

The Ithaca Commons, one of those struggling pedestrian mall projects from a couple of generations back, is undergoing an upgrade and part of the project is an expansion of natural gas service, right there in Planet Ithaca. Our readers will recall a series of posts we did called “There Ought To Be A Law.” We did a playful return to the era of that famous cartoon strip by the same name and noted how many natural gas opponents lived or worked in places that relied upon natural gas for heat. We…

Bloomberg Misses the Mark on Utica Development

Energy In Depth's Shawn debunks Bloomberg's claims about Ohio's Utica Shale:

"In its recent coverage of the Ohio shale industry, Bloomberg News suggested that the oil and gas industry is leaving Ohio in droves. It’s fitting that baseball season is underway, because the report was an unequivocal swing and miss.

The central problem with Bloomberg’s narrative is that…

Labor, Business, Government Agree on Ohio Shale

This week, Energy In Depth attended an event in Canton that would have seemed highly unlikely just one year ago.  Labor groups, oil and gas industry representatives, local elected officials from both parties, and multiple chambers of commerce all came together to talk about Utica Shale development, the Keystone XL, and why both are important to Ohioans.  The event was aptly titled, “Investing in America: Building Ohio Jobs,” and was hosted by the newly formed…

Renewables Advocates Missing An Opportunity

A continuing education program on natural gas development took place in Heritage Hills, N.Y., last night, and it was an opportunity lost for the promotion of renewable energy. The opposition to natural gas looks at a clean-burning fuel and sees only a threat to renewables, when in fact it should see tremendous potential.

Last night I took a drive over to Heritage Hills in Westchester County, N.Y., to make a presentation to a community association as part of a continuing education…

EPA Should Have Stuck to the Facts in Natural Gas Debate

by Keith Mauck

Facts are essential in today’s debate over energy policy. It is a fact, for example, that the United States is producing more of its own oil and natural gas due to advances in technology. It’s also a fact that anti-oil critics are using fear tactics to fight the American drilling renaissance because the facts are not on their side.

Such political games are not unusual in America, but when a federal agency like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),…

Flaming water more common than fair news coverage

Accurate unbiased news reporting, in the case of natural gas development, is too often harder to find than flaming water.  A recent story from Pittsburgh, which had nothing to do with natural gas development, somehow turned into an indictment of the industry, illustrating the power of imagery over facts in the hands of reporters with preconceived ideas that are just plain wrong.



I’ve always held Pittsburgh to a higher standard. Like my hometown of Buffalo, it was a rust belt city…

Deal or No Deal in NY?

The debate over natural gas development nationwide is all about New York State and the debate in New York State is all about the Natural Resources Defense Council and its goals.  Those goals are contrary to the interests of landowners and ordinary New Yorkers.



We got a fair amount of reaction to our post on Cuomo’s Choice: Blue Collars or Blue Bloods and the consolidated version in the New York Post.  Kate Sinding, one of the three senior NRDC attorneys mentioned in the post, even…

Tomorrow’s Leaders Seek and Find Opportunites In Shale

Energy In Depth's Mike reports on 3 growing groups of young people in Ohio working to educate the public and engage themselves with the industry:

"The discussion about workforce development occurs frequently in boardrooms and classrooms all over Ohio, and in particular the eastern part of our state. One of the biggest questions is, How do we replace our aging workforce? Ohio’s growing shale oil and gas industry — which continues to grow — is no different.

Of course, one of the…
