North America’s strong natural gas supply outlook is thanks to what has taken place below ground: horizontal drilling with long laterals and hydraulic fracturing well stimulation. However, what is happening above ground may determine to what extent these efforts will benefit the country’s energy security.

Quicksilver Resources Inc. has taken initial steps to create a separate midstream natural gas entity to support its 130,000 net-acre project in the Horn River Basin of northeastern British Columbia (BC).

EOG Resources Inc. has taken its Marcellus Shale leasehold off the market because it’s a “core holding” and big plans are on the table to develop it once natural gas prices recover, CEO Mark Papa said Tuesday.

Water samples taken from seven Pennsylvania rivers showed levels of radioactivity at or below “background levels,” according to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).

The Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission (AOGC) planned to hold an emergency meeting Friday (March 4) to consider a staff request that injection of natural gas drilling waste be halted at two disposal wells while a potential connection to earthquakes in the region is considered.

Bills that would change West Virginia’s regulation of Marcellus Shale drilling — stripped of forced pooling language and proposing smaller increases to horizontal permitting fees than previously considered — were passed Thursday by House and Senate committees in the state’s legislature in Charleston.

The Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission (AOGC) has extended a moratorium on the drilling of new disposal wells in the Fayetteville Shale by six months while it collects data to determine whether disposal activities contributed to hundreds of small earthquakes in the area.
