With the Lower 48 taking care of itself with gas from shale plays, it’s looking more like Alaska might be on its own to develop an in-state gasline to meet its own needs rather than a mega project that would cost tens of billions of dollars and move about 4.5 Bcf/d to Canada and the rest of the United States.

Haynesville Drilling Doubles Louisiana’s Production
Drilling in the Haynesville Shale helped Louisiana more than double its natural gas production in April from two years ago, and production in the Lower 48 states increased 10.6% (6.66 Bcf/d) to 69.05 Bcf/d during the same time period, according to the Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) monthly natural gas report.

Industry Brief
An emergency order that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued against Range Resources Corp. late last year for alleged contamination of water wells in North Texas was allowed to stand by a federal judge in Dallas pending the outcome of an appeals court case in New Orleans in which Range is seeking dismissal of the EPA order. A stay was issued in the Dallas federal court case, and the judge there also declined to impose fines on Range that had been sought by EPA. Earlier this year Range was cleared of fouling the water wells by the Railroad Commission of Texas, which had objected to EPA’s involvement in the case (see Shale Daily, March 23).
Chuck Watson: Shale Revolution is Global
Seeds from the North American shale gas revolution have been carried around the globe and planted, and it’s only a matter of time before many countries have their own where natural gas is concerned, longtime energy industry executive Chuck Watson told a Houston audience last week.
New Ohio Shale Coalition Taking Shape
In the wake of oil and gas drilling becoming permissible on state-owned land throughout Ohio, industry supporters are forming the Ohio Shale Coalition (OSC) to tout the economic benefits of developing the Marcellus and Utica shales while also countering the claims of detractors.

Low Shale Gas Prices Aiding Power Market
Due to the expanding shale gas development that has lowered prices, gas-fired generation has become increasingly competitive with coal-fired generation in some eastern U.S. markets, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) said Tuesday.
