The Venango Campus of Clarion University in Oil City, PA, is offering a new degree program to prepare students for careers in the Marcellus Shale and other areas of the natural gas industry.

Potential risks of hydraulic fracturing (hydrofracking) well stimulation — particularly in natural gas shale plays — remain on the minds of activist energy company investors, some of whom are seeking more information on the practice and measures that could reduce associated risks.

Liquids-rich unconventional gas plays, particularly shales, are continuing to drive midstream spending as evidenced by two announcements last week out of the Eagle Ford Shale as well as the Cana-Woodford Shale and Granite Wash plays.

With the cold weather that had buoyed cash prices for most of the week due to get more severe, particularly in the East, toward the end of the weekend, the market was showing more weakness Friday than it had since last Tuesday, but flat to rising points still outnumbered falling ones by about two-to-one.

Growing natural gas liquids (NGL) production — particularly that of ethane — is a positive story for the petrochemical industry as well as oil and gas producers. However, talk of an NGL glut is growing louder as the industry continues to grow production and build out infrastructure. Opinions vary on what is to come.

Houston-based Cabot Oil & Gas Corp., whose onshore operations are focused on three shale plays — the Marcellus, Eagle Ford and Haynesville/Bossier — said Tuesday it smashed quarterly production records in 3Q2010, with output hitting 36 Bcfe, which was a 41% jump year/year. Sequential production also rose 18%, exceeding guidance targets.
