Phenomenon

Low prices have made dry gas from shales a producers’ problem and an end-user’s dream. But interests at both ends of the market do agree that the right gas price — the equilibrium price — would make shale gas a boon for the country.

A La Nina weather phenomenon, which contributed to extreme weather around the globe in the first six months of this year, has reemerged in the tropical Pacific Ocean and is forecast to gradually strengthen and continue into winter, the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said Thursday.

Residents of Fort Worth, TX, saw the sun rise on the shale gas phenomenon as producers targeted the Barnett Shale play far beneath their neighborhoods. Now — following years of midstream development, and a deadly pipeline blast in California — some in the state’s fifth largest city are calling for a reset on gas pipeline policy.

Putting to bed the notion that ozone production is just a hot summer day in the city phenomenon, a new study by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has discovered that “health-threatening” levels have been found during the winter near the remote Jonah Field and Pinedale Anticline natural gas formation in northwestern Wyoming. More alarmingly, data points to the problem being global.

The January sales phenomenon — high volumes moved for reduced prices — spread to the natural gas trade between Canada and the United States this year, as shown by the latest records kept on the traffic by the National Energy Board (NEB).
