Although the announcement does not mean the company is committed to its plans for a “world-scale” facility just yet, it ends months of speculation about where Shell would locate the facility and the competition among the three states in the running (see Shale Daily, Dec. 5, 2011; Sept. 7, 2011; June 7, 2011).

Report: Legacy Lawsuits Cripple Louisiana Drilling
North Louisiana’s Haynesville Shale boom has been a starring player in the country’s natural gas renaissance. However, conventional drilling in the southern part of the state has been stymied by the threat of litigation over things that occurred decades ago, producers have argued and a new study asserts.

Shell Eyes Marcellus Meet-Up for Ethylene, Markets
Now that the shale-driven natural gas supply renaissance has spread to natural gas liquids, namely ethane, multiple companies have announced ideas for doing something with it. Royal Dutch Shell plc has set its sites on the Marcellus Shale region for the possible construction of a world-class ethane cracker.
Chevron CEO: U.S. Poised for ‘Energy Renaissance’
The United States is poised for an “energy renaissance” that would give it independence from foreign energy supplies and create thousands of jobs, but it won’t happen without federal policies that expand domestic access to resources and give companies more regulatory clarity, Chevron Corp. CEO John Watson said last week.

Montney, Horn River Future Includes GTL, LNG, Analyst Says
Thanks to the Montney and Horn River shale plays, Western Canada can hold its own in the natural gas renaissance; however, production from these developing plays will not offset declines in the region’s conventional gas production, according to Ziff Energy Group’s Edward Kallio, director of gas consulting.

Researcher: Proppant Holds Hydrofracing Solution
Hydraulic fracturing (hydrofracing) is the key that unlocks gas shale plays — the bedrock of the industry’s supply renaissance. While growing environmental concern over the well stimulation technique has sent shivers through the gas patch, a researcher at Houston’s Rice University and a small start-up company think they have something that could all but eliminate the worries while simplifying the process and cutting producer costs.
