For Old-Timer, Barnett Shale Still Getting it Done

Range to Jettison Barnett Stake to Focus on ‘Liquids-Rich’ Marcellus

BP CEO: ‘Little Evidence’ of Energy Demand Growth
BP plc’s quarterly profits fell by half from the same period a year ago, but the company is surpassing its cost-cutting targets and increasing output, CEO Tony Hayward told reporters Tuesday.

Devon Energy Corp.’s North American quarterly natural gas output jumped nearly 10% from a year ago after surpassing production records in the Barnett Shale in Texas and the Powder River Basin in Wyoming, the company said Wednesday.

Gas Demand from Power Generation Still Running Strong
The Energy Information Administration has confirmed that gas demand from power generation posted a new record in July of 923.7 Bcf (29.8 Bcf/d), far surpassing the old record set in August 2005 of 780.9 Bcf. In a significant revision to its prior estimates, EIA sharply raised its demand estimate for July by about 138 Bcf. Furthermore, Denver-based consulting firm Bentek Energy said in several reports Wednesday that gas demand from generation remains well above levels last year, in part due to more nuclear maintenance outages in the shoulder months.
