Amid the prolific output of gas shales, the lumpiness of liquefied natural gas (LNG) deliveries and the peakiness of gas-fired power generation demand lies the home of numerous high-deliverability gas storage projects coming on-line now and in the coming years. Storage developers in the Gulf Coast region are betting that their services will be in high demand as the market juggles the volatility of the emerging supply-demand landscape.

Desperate to produce some kind of energy legislation to take home to constituents during the August recess, Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives made another run at passage of a retreaded “use it or lose it” bill to restrict leasing on public lands Thursday, and lost.

In the wake of an Aug. 21, 2004 gas explosion in Sandy Township, PA, that destroyed a home and left two residents dead, the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) Thursday modified a previous $80,000 settlement with National Fuel Gas Distribution Corp. (NFG), bumping it up to $150,000.

As the winter heating season gets closer, the AccuWeather.com long-range center continues to drive home the point that a very warm winter is on the way for much of the nation, especially east of the Rockies. If the forecast is confirmed, the natural gas and power markets could be in for lower prices as demand for both commodities lays off.

Looking to increase its natural gas and oil exploration and production operations in its home state, Dallas-based Pioneer Natural Resources Co. on Tuesday announced two separate Texas acquisitions in the Barnett Shale and Spraberry field totaling 118,000 gross acres for approximately $240 million.

The Pinedale Anticline in southwestern Wyoming, home to the prolific Jonah Field, covers only about 90 square miles on about 150,000 acres, but the natural gas output from the fairway’s tight sands has been nothing short of remarkable. Now testing is under way to determine whether gas shale development could make the Anticline and neighboring basins even more remarkable.

Producers now are conducting tests that could make output from the play even more remarkable — because of the unknown potential of the region’s gas shale.
