September natural gas is set to open 4 cents higher Tuesday morning at $3 as traders see an improved technical picture and attempt to rationalize unsupportive weather. Overnight oil markets were narrowly mixed.

A longtime operator of offshore towing vessels in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM), a unit of Harvey Gulf International Marine Inc. on Thursday opened North America’s first liquefied natural gas (LNG) marine fueling terminal in Port Fourchon, LA.

New Jersey Attorney General Peter Harvey last week petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to settle a boundary dispute with the state of Delaware involving the construction of an off-loading pier that would serve a proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal along the Delaware River in Logan Township, NJ.

FERC’s Stephen Harvey, along with the publishers of natural gas price indexes and other industry experts will participate on a panel discussing gas index pricing at a workshop session prior to the Minerals Management Services’ Industry Awards Program on April 26 in Houston, TX. The panelists will explore whether published gas price indexes in the U.S. have sufficient liquidity, transparency and accuracy to represent the value of gas commodities in the current marketplace. The program, which will begin at 8:30 a.m., will be held at the Houston InterContinental Hotel at 2222 West Loop South in Houston. There will be no cost to attend the panel discussion. Reservations for the awards luncheon can be made at www.mms.gov

SEC Chairman Harvey L. Pitt last Thursday proposed sweeping changes in corporate financial oversight. He said the failure of Enron and its auditor Arthur Andersen clearly exposes the defects in the country’s “vaunted system of disclosure, financial reporting, corporate governance and accounting practices,” and the need to develop an entirely new method of financial regulation “that will restore public confidence in the integrity of the accounting profession.”

Pitt outlined a Securities and Exchange Commission plan to form a new public entity that will be empowered to perform investigations, bring disciplinary proceedings, publicize results and restrict individuals and firms from auditing public companies.
