It verifies how little LNG is shipped from the U.S. to European compared to non-European countries.

Sure, shale gas has made LNG more affordable.  But that doesn't change or explain the fact that (much) more LNG is exported from the U.S. to China, South Korea, Japan, etc. than to European countries.

The EIA webpage includes Re-Exports.

OT,

In your opinion, how will increased LNG export activity, regardless of the destination, influence prices paid to those receiving royalties in the Marcellus Shale realm? Specifically, North central PA.

Thanks.

"New Recovery and Gas Line Replacement Efforts Launched for the Greater Lawrence Area" - Columbia Gas - Sep 21, 2018

"[Columbia Gas will] aim to have service restored to all homes and workplaces by November 19. ...

Starting Saturday morning, hundreds of the Massachusetts National Guard will assist Columbia Gas in providing nearly 7,000 self-contained hot plate units to customers who need them for cooking until natural gas service is restored. This will be followed by a similar distribution of space heaters next week. ...

Next week, teams of electricians, plumbers, and assessors will begin electrical assessments and installation of 24,000 space heaters in homes. Before installation, local fire chiefs and electricians must certify that a dwelling is safe for a space heater to operate without risk of fire hazards. For places that do not meet these criteria, the team is exploring alternative home heating options. ...

On Wednesday, September 26, teams will begin deployment to every impacted residence or business to do a full assessment and determine what appliances need to be replaced or repaired. ... Residents will receive a communication from Columbia Gas to confirm the assessment so they can plan to be home. ...

... the team is in the process of evaluating all 48 miles of pipeline that service approximately 8,600 meters ..."

So, how does one cook a turkey on a hot plate?

OH my God man! A major replacement of gas lines! Gonna be a lot of jobs and people put to work on this one. 48 miles? And what about all the service lines? Who is going to finance this replacement and is there going to be a shortage of pipe and other components needed to put all back in order again?

Columbia Gas-MA does have a, annual pipeline replacement program, so that part of the cost should be in the budget. If I had a forced hot air heating system, I'd be tempted to ask for a buy-out. Have a propane or fuel oil furnace and appropriate storage tank installed.  Be done with Columbia.

Hey OT,

Is pre-registration required to attend Shell's meeting?

Thanks again!
