Southern Natural Gas Co. LLC has asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for the green light to make modifications to three compressor stations on its mainline system: the DeArmanville Compressor Station and its Auburn and Selma stations.

Natural gas for use in the fleet transportation sector continues to make inroads, as evidenced by the recent news out of Ford Motor Co. that sales of Ford trucks with engines prepped for compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) catapulted more than 350% from 2009 to 2012.

Projections calling for below-normal water levels in the Pacific Northwest create the prospect for higher natural gas loads this year to make up for the smaller amounts of hydropower expected in the region, according to a Barclays report on the region’s prospects.

Unconventional oil and gas activities and production continued to make their significance felt in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in the oil and gas sector last year, with much of the new domestic investment coming from foreign companies, according to Deloitte.

Make no mistake, the shale boom is a great thing for the country, but anyone expecting it to yield energy independence is in need of a reality check, according to Fitch Ratings.

When natural gas markets make a comeback, an extended foray into horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing shows British Columbia (BC) will be ready to fulfill expectations of taking over Alberta’s fading role as Canada’s top source of supply growth.
