Upstream PA 2015 Packs a Punch at Penn State --- Pipelines are Coming!

During Stouffer’s presentation, he provided some statistics from Bentek Energy’s Northeast Expansions Report. According to the Report, pipeline capacity expansions are coming online at a jaw-dropping pace.

Between 2010 and 2013, there were 36 pipeline projects brought online in the Northeast totaling 8.94 Bcf/d in capacity. Between 2014 and 2017, there are 52 pipeline projects – new-build and expansions – east of the Mississippi River slated to come online, totaling 35.82 Bcf/d in capacity.

Also, Williams has partnered with Cabot Oil & Gas, Piedmont Natural Gas, and WGL Holdings to develop a major transmission pipeline project to connect abundant Appalachian natural gas supplies in northern Pennsylvania with major northeastern markets. The approximate 124-mile Constitution Pipeline has been designed with a capacity to transport 650,000 dekatherms of natural gas per day, which is enough natural gas to serve approximately three million homes.

Let's not become too pollyanna.  There exist fractivist forces, to our east, making every possible effort to stop these pipelines . . . especially those which would help our gas reach critical New England markets.  Very recently even the despicable DRBC has inserted itself into this situation.  The DRBC is all but under fractivist control, and it is a very powerful organization.

Fractivists do not want natural gas development in Pennsylvania . . . or in WV or OH for that matter.  Their attitude, since being so far unable to stop our drilling and fracking in SRBC territory and further west, is that we can choke on our own natural gas as they will do everything they can to stem its flow eastward through new pipelines.  They figure if they can impede the essential pipelines it will have the impact of slowing PA NG development.

No Pennsylvanian should forget the DRBC has singlehandedly extinguished all drilling and fracking within its territory.  Pennsylvanians living in the Delaware River basin might as well be living in New York!  They are forbidden to develop their land.  But it is those same DRBC lands new pipelines must cross in order to reach critical eastern market regions.

Maybe we need some new pilictians.

With the pipelines flows greed, corruption, and bribery - the same forces which damaged land owners' rights in PA.  Those forces will infiltrate the ranks of the support or the frackavists.  Give it time.

Now that, Brian, is a worldly view ahead of its time. Your so right about corruption and greed within the ranks of those groups.

A pessimist is never disappointed.

what kind of royalties are being paid by the operators to the landowners, on a county basis?

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the numbers in the past were calculated on a twice a year basis.

Yeah, dealing with gas and oil companies has taught me a lot, most of it is not very cheerful stuff.
