Harm

After months of extolling the potential of the Utica Shale to bring jobs and revenue to Quebec, provincial officials on Friday changed course, warning that natural gas development may not be allowed to proceed.

The Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) on Thursday proposed rules that would allow natural gas development projects — with conditions — in affected areas of the Marcellus Shale.

With Hurricane Wilma firmly in the rear view mirror with no harm to Gulf of Mexico oil and gas infrastructure, November natural gas on Monday failed to push lower, leading some to believe the premium built into the market might already have been taken out. The prompt month ended up settling at $13.004, 13.2 cents higher on the day.

It will take two decades for supply development triggered by the Mackenzie Gas Project to disturb even 4% of the vast Northwest Territories, says a new study that highlights the scale of the frontier about to be opened up by the Canadian foray into Arctic industry.

California’s state regulators and proponents wanting to site a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Long Beach Harbor had what may be a concluding head-butt late last month when a final request for a rehearing by Sound Energy Solutions (SES) was denied, reiterating the California Public Utilities Commission’s order that SES file with the state authorities for permission to build its proposed 1 Bcf/d receiving facility.

Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA), in a recent letter to FERC Chief Administrative Law Judge Curtis L. Wagner, argued that any refund policy adopted by the Commission must not disadvantage utilities in the Pacific Northwest because of the contractual mechanisms that they have used to acquire power to serve their customers. She also asserted that Northwest entities that have been hurt by California’s energy crisis should be eligible for refunds.
