Treats

Natural gas midstream operator Energy Transfer Partners LP (ETP) is partnering with a company that treats produced water to develop transportation and treatment solutions for discharged waters generated by hydraulic fracturing used to stimulate natural gas wells in the Marcellus and Haynesville shale plays.

Weeks after Halloween’s tricks and treats were gone, natural gas futures traders felt tricked anew Thursday on news of an upward revision in natural gas storage figures by the Energy Information Administration (EIA). News of more gas in storage than first expected along with Thursday’s report of a 16 Bcf build for the week ended Nov. 14 gave the bears the upper hand in morning trade as December futures pushed lower, ultimately settling at $6.316, down 42.7 cents on the day.
