The Shale Gas News, heard every Saturday at 10 AM on 94.3 FM, 1510 AM and Sundays on YesFM, talked about the New York frack ban, commercial shipping, shale growth and much more last week.

The Shale Gas News has grown again; welcome Gem 104 as our FOURTH station! Gem 104 helps to solidify the Shale Gas News coverage in an important Marcellus region, PA’s northern tier. The Shale Gas News is now broadcasting in Bradford, Lackawanna, Lancaster, Lebanon, Luzerne, Lycoming, Pike, Sullivan, Susquehanna, Tioga and Wayne Counties, as well as in greater central PA. The Shale Gas News is aired on Saturday or Sunday depending on the station.

Every Saturday Rusty Fender and I host a morning radio show to discuss all things natural gas. This week, as guests, we had Phillip McKeon, Vice President at Taylor Rental/ BX3 Supply and Chad Gorman and Shane O’Connor of GasSearch Drilling Services.

The Shale Gas News, typically, is broadcast live. On the April 28th show, we covered the following new territory:

• Frackers Preach Patience on Payoff From $70 Oil, Growth in Shale. The world’s biggest oilfield service companies have a message for investors: There’s a payoff for patience.

Halliburton Co., the fracking king, said it sees a return to the 20 percent profit margins last seen before the downturn. Their optimism comes as oil prices drive toward $70 a barrel in New York, a strong psychological signal of recovery, while Saudi Arabia has said it sees $80 oil in the foreseeable future.
