Energy in Depth Introduces Reorganized Website

By -
From an IPAA press release:
Key features of the new EID site include:
·One Stop News Source.As the EID program has expanded over the years, new regional planks have gradually been added to the platform – first in Pennsylvania and New York, then in Ohio and California. Previously, each of these satellite programs maintained its own website and social media presence separate and apart from EID’s national platform. With the launch of EID’s new web portal (www.energyindepth.org) today, all of these state and regional efforts will be consolidated under one program, with users now having the ability to filter and access content on the site in a way that’s tailored to their specific needs and interests – broken down specifically by state or region. The new EID site currently hosts state-specific tabs for Ohio, Calif., Illinois, Michigan and Texas, and regional pages for the Marcellus (Pa., N.Y., and W.Va.) and Mountain States (Colo., Nev., Mont., and Utah). Additional tabs are expected to be added in the coming months.
·Focus on Video Series.As part of today’s news, EID also announced the launch of new web-video series that will address and correct some of the most common and pervasive myths impacting the present debate over the development of oil and natural gas from shale. First up in the queue: a short video busting the myth of high radon content in the Marcellus Shale, a talking point that opponents of an important new pipeline project in New York frequently cite as a reason to stop development. Additional videos in a similar format will be released on the website every couple weeks.
“EID has always been known for great content,” added Eshelman. “But if we expect to reach and engage new audiences about the promise and potential of responsible resource development, we’re going to need more than just fact sheets and issue alerts. We’re going to need smart and compelling digital and multimedia content that can be shared across multiple platforms, and presented in a way that’s relevant, actionable and -- yes – even entertaining to the folks we’re trying to reach. The launch of this new web video series is a big step forward in that effort, and one we’re hoping will help us move the needle on these issues even more in the future.”

Anti-drilling blog "No Fracking Way" was quick to respond, calling the redesigned site the equivalent of putting "a pretty red bow on a pile of dog poop."  I don't know what more to say, except that you can read that entire post by clicking here.

Fracktivist in Dimock Releases Carefully Edited Video, Refuses to Release the Rest

From Energy in Depth: There is something very strange going on along Carter Road, in Dimock, Pennsylvania, and I’m not speaking of natural gas, methane migration, contamination, litigation or even the extensive water testing there by the EPA and others.  No, I’m talking about a new “Watergate” conspiracy, complete with 18 minutes of missing tape (well, video, actually). It seems the ever-present Green Party member and  naturist   Vera Scroggins  (a/k/a  Vera Duerga ) has posted a video of Craig Sautner meeting with the EPA.  Mysteriously, the video is but 14 seconds in length, cutting off conversation in what is obviously mid-stream.  It raises a question Craig Sautner, like  Ronald Reagan in Kings Row , might have asked, “Where’s the rest of me?’  Carter Road, isn’t Kings Row, of course, (at least not until you arrive at  the mansion Scott Ely, one of the Dimock litigants, is building with his royalty money ), but there appears to be...

The Second Largest Oil and Gas Merger - Cabot and Cimarex

By -

       Due to investor pressure, the U.S shale drillers are being pushed to improve financial and operational performance after a few years of poor returns. Even though the industry has improved its numbers, when compared to last year, investors still want more to be done for them to earn more money.      That's why two mid-tier shale drillers, Cabot and Climarex, have decided to merge in order to eliminate $100 million in annual costs, which means more money for the investors. This all-stock transaction is valued at about $7.4 billion, which is relatively high for the oil and gas sector.      The new entity will be renamed and the headquarters located in Houston, Texas. Cabot shareholders will own 49.5 percent of the new entity, and Climarex the rest.       The Cimarex-Cabot merger will address the investor's demand for a higher amount of returning cash. The initial plan is to pay a 50-cent-per-share special dividen...

Do You Know The History of Fracking?

By -

  In 2018, 59% of total oil production in the U.S came from hydraulic fracking, which means it accounted for more than two-thirds of domestically manufactured gas. By 2024, fracking will reach an astounding $68 billion market value! Of course, fracking is not a new drilling method as you can trace it back hundreds of years. That's why we want to consider the history of hydraulic fracturing (fracking). We will be stating historical facts about it and focusing on the major historical occurrences that have influenced modern-day fracking. Pre-Fracking Days The idea of fracking started back in 1862 when Edward A.L. Roberts (Civil War veteran) witnessed Confederate soldiers exploding artillery rounds into a canal that obstructed a battlefield. At the time, Edward A.L. Roberts called it superincumbent fluid tamping. On April 26th, 1865, Edward A.L. Roberts began experimenting with exploding torpedoes, which consisted of lowering a torpedo containing an amount of powder from fifteen to tw...
