Finally....Someone Steps Forward to Promote Re-Fracking

So…You Want to Ban Fracking? Better Think Twice

It seems each year we come closer and closer to a ban on hydraulic fracturing. For the first time ever, we have a Presidential candidate who declared “No question, I am in favor of a national ban on…Continue

OPEC - Coming Soon to a Shale Development Near You

Most people are at least somewhat familiar with OPEC, their members and their purpose. The Organization of Petroleum Countries has been in existence since 1960 and was established to enable the cooperation of leading oil-producing and oil-dependent countries in order to collectively influence the global oil market and to maximize profits. Its first five members, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Venezuela were later joined by 7 other countries to shape what we view as OPEC today. These 12…See More

"The type of shale thickness and density figures into that equation also. They call multi laterals wine racking Western Tioga co. in PA is a good candidate. This is an exciting time for shale producers."

"Absolutely true paleface.  One of their stated goals is to acquire contiguous acreage which will facilitate longer laterals.  There's no telling where this industry is headed.  Shorter cluster stages for sure but are they…"

"Increasing the number of frac stages is a big step up but the older wells had shorter laterals which will limit new discoverd Ng and NgL's"

Finally....Someone Steps Forward to Promote Re-Fracking

Last summer I published an article lamenting the fact that few companies seemed anxious to invest in re-fracking. It seems the technology is available to support it, and the economics certainly make sense, so why is nobody interested in participating? Perhaps that pendulum has swung now, as BKV Corporation is leading the way, reporting with pride that they have now completed almost 400 re-fracks in the Barnett Shale. The results there have been so good that BKV is now evaluating M&A targets…See More

New Energy Source Described as Being "Mind-Blowing"

                                                   New Energy Source Described as Being “Mind-Blowing”There’s been so much news on the energy front recently, I couldn’t decide on this week’s subject. I’ve been off the grid for a month or so dealing with cataract surgery so I’ve compiled quite a list that I find interesting. However, when one is bold enough to not only use the phrase “mind-blowing” but to insert it into the title of the article, it gets my attention. Thanks to Rick Kramer @…See More

Will the Chevron Decision Reshape the Oil Industry?

Less than six months ago the US Supreme Court overruled over 18,000 judicial opinions, some as many as 40 years old. This landmark decision was rendered on June 28 in Loper Bright Enterprises vs. Raimodo. Later, on July 1, they held that the statute of limitations to challenge the actions of federal agencies under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) does not begin until a plaintiff actually suffers injury by means of final agency action.Liberals were not pleased.

Those Pesky Martians – Who Knew They Were Contributing to Climate Change Here on Earth?

It’s a little-known fact that Mars’ gravity pulls Earth closer to the sun, resulting in the warming of our climate. This fascinating and completely unexpected connection between the two planets has received little fanfare, and has been provided little discussion thus far. Truth is, significant geological evidence spanning over 65M years shows deep sea currents on Earth to undergo recurring cycles of strength every 2.4M years, an occurrence directly related to the influence that Mars hold over…See More

Surprise! Chesapeake Energy is Back on Top Again

Everybody knows the oil and gas business is a roller-coaster ride. I know of no other industry which has such highs and lows, of boom or bust. And perhaps no one single company over the past 35 years has had more ups and downs that Chesapeake. They have ridden Space Mountain so often they should have a free lifetime pass. They’ve been given up for dead more times than I can count and yet….The company was founded in 1989 by Aubrey McClendon and Tom L. Ward with an initial investment of just…See More

In researching this subject, I discovered an article featured in OilOnLine which provides an interesting twist on conventional fracking techniques. Virginia based PDN Mountaineer, LLC announced that they have partnered with Utah based Purestream Technology to incorporate their Trilogy system to treat and purify wastewater from their Marcellus operations. Purestream claims to be…

Can Pennsylvania Save the EV Industry?

                                                                       Can Pennsylvania Save the EV Industry?

First, let’s address the elephant in the room. Fossil fuel-based industries and the products they are used to create are not going away in our lifetimes. Not in our children’s lifetimes. Likely not ever. That is not to say, however, that their use cannot be curtailed. Environmentalists are working 24/7/365 to achieve this and, to a certain degree, are succeeding. This…

Dear, I picked interest on you after going through your page profile and demand it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here on gomarcellusshale.com because it is a public site. Could you please get back to me to my private email contact address ( josephmclaughlin500@gmail.com ) so that we can discuss privately. My regards,
