Protesting Natural Gas Usage to Get Cleaner Air. Huh?

The Clean Air Council is once again making the trek from Philadelphia to the Marcellus; this time to try to stop the distribution of natural gas to homes and businesses in Luzerne County.

The Clean Air Council (CAC) has been behind most, if not all, of the compressor station hearings in…

UPDATE: Central Ohio Transit Authority Ready for Transition to CNG Fleet

UPDATE (5/21/2013, 10:13pm ET): Earlier this month, the Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) released its first 30 CNG buses for use.  While they don’t look much different than the typical diesel-fuel bus, COTA will definitely notice the difference in cost.  They pay about $3.20 for a gallon of diesel fuel, but will pay only about 80 cents for a gallon equivalent of natural gas.  All told, COTA could save $28,800 a year in fuel…

NY Families Face Crisis without a Little Help from Their Friends

As women living in the Marcellus Shale region of the United States, it is important to understand what natural gas means to our families. Having seen the film Women of the Marcellus, I decided to look into what it is like to try to raise a family in an economically deprived area with an abundant natural resource under our feet.

Raising a family isn’t easy. Between picking the perfect school systems, to making sure kids have what they need as far as food and clothing, being a parent is…

DEP to Clean Air Council: Compressor Station Emissions Model Doesn’t Reflect Actual Data

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) recently responded to a report put out by the Clean Air Council (CAC) of Philadelphia, which had alleged high emissions from the Barto compressor station in Penn Township, Lycoming County. Real data, however, show emission levels far below federal…

Digging Deeper on the Times Water Contamination Story

Author: John Krohn, Energy In Depth

The Scranton Times Tribune published an investigative article with the inflammatory headline “Drilling Killing Water.”  Of course, a review of the article itself and the data underlying it show a much different set of circumstances than the Times-Tribune headline would lead you to believe.

Over the weekend the Scranton Times-Tribune ran…

Ohio State Medical Association Debunks Public Comments About Disclosure

Energy In Depth's Mike:

One of the most pervasive claims made about shale development has to do with disclosure — namely, that the industry is withholding information from medical professionals about additives used during hydraulic fracturing. This has been advanced by the likes of Ohio Citizens Action, a vocal anti-development group, as well as a handful of other…

Ohio’s Production Numbers Don’t Tell All

Dr. Robert W. Chase, Chair and Professor at Marietta College, gives background on Ohio production data:

"After at least an extra month of guarded anticipation, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (DNR) finally released oil and gas production data on 86 wells producing from the Utica shale during 2012.  Oddly enough, an article from Reuters appearing in Friday’s papers dismisses the Utica play as a bust.  To quote the…

Fracking Fear-Mongering

A recent incident in Franklin Forks, Pennsylvania, demonstrates just how easily the record can be distorted on natural gas development by special interests determined to exploit accusations, assertions and speculation as if they were facts.

Some folks reading the title ”Guilty until Proven Innocent” might not catch the error in this statement.

Public opinion has become the new justice system as a mob mentality seems to have taken over. Too often, though, the opinion,…

The Incredible World of Natural Gas Opposition

Credible means “offering reasonable grounds to be believed.” Consider whether the word “credible” applies to any of the dire predictions made on the first Earth Day in 1970. Ecologist Ken Watt said, “By the year 2000…there won’t be any more crude oil.” Biologist Barry Commoner said, “We are in an environmental crisis which threatens the survival of this nation and the world as a suitable place of human habitation.” Harvard biologist George Wald said, “Civilization will end within 15 or 30…

Poll Shows Broad MI and PA Support for Natural Gas

A recent story in State Impact focused on the results of one poorly phrased and misleading question out of several in a poll that ended up showing broad public support for natural gas development. That one question suggested citizens of both Michigan and Pennsylvania desired moratoriums on hydraulic fracturing but other survey results contrasted sharply with this conclusion.

When polling results don’t fit the template, some media sources try bending the polling curve to suit their…

Critics’ Concerns Over Pipelines Are Largely Unfounded

Energy In Depth's Shawn responds to the Columbus Dispatch article making unfounded claims about Ohio pipeline development:

"As many of us in eastern Ohio have seen, there has been a tremendous amount of pipeline work happening in this portion of the state.  The pipelines are necessary due to the liquids-rich gas that the Utica Shale/Point Pleasant provides– liquids that include valuable products like butane, propane, ethane and pentane. These components are what make the Utica Shale…

V&M Anchors Economic Revival of Route 422

Energy In Depth's Mike talks about the revival of the stretch of Route 422 in Youngstown that is seeing an economic revival and helping the city get back on track:

"Call it the comeback of the century.  Thanks in large part to Utica shale development, the blue-collar, hard-working, never-say-die Youngstown is making steel again. Folks have heard this over the last two years, but what some might not know is that while the $1.1 billion V&M Star plant is huge, the facility could…

Update: James Well

The drilling rig has been dismantled.

What happens now?

What is the time frame of this well starting to produce royalties?

How can we find out if they have drilled both of the lines they got permits for?  Both permits were for lines South of the well, parallel to the Tennessee Gas Pipelines, which they have already tied into.

Has anyone heard anything?
