Gulfport Energy’s CEO And President Announces New Fund

By -

Cambridge, OH – The Guernsey County Foundation Trustees gathered this morning to celebrate their work and to meet with CEO and President of Gulfport Energy Mike Moore.  Moore joined the Guernsey County Foundation during their breakfast to learn more about the community and build awareness for a new resource, the Gulfport Energy Fund.
Moore, who announced the opening of the new Gulfport Energy office in Saint Clairsville on Wednesday, spoke about the creation of the Gulfport Energy Fund at the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio and shared Gulfport’s long-term outlook on philanthropy and investing in the regions where they do business.
“I was so impressed by the work happening in Guernsey County,” said Moore. “The Trustees leading the Guernsey County Foundation are dedicated to making a difference across the county and that is exactly what we plan to support through the Gulfport Energy Fund. Gulfport looks forward to helping nonprofit, educational, and community leaders by supporting their good work.”
The Gulfport Energy Fund will support projects to enrich quality of life in Ohio counties where Gulfport is active, including Belmont, Guernsey, Harrison, and Monroe counties. More information on the Fund and the grant application process can be found on the Gulfport Energy Fund webpage.
During the meeting, Moore explained that Gulfport believes today’s resources can do a lot for future generations by supporting the efforts of current leaders while growing the philanthropic resources in the region. Moore then presented Cara Dingus Brook, president and CEO of the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio, with a check for $400,000 to support the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio’s work over the next four years and create the Gulfport Energy Fund.
“Guernsey County has shown such foresight and leadership in growing the Guernsey County Foundation,” said Brook. “They have a mission of creating opportunities for generations of Guernsey County citizens and so does the Gulfport Energy Fund. I look forward to seeing what becomes possible with the support of these two resources for the community.”
Maribeth Wright of the Guernsey County Foundation echoed Brook’s thoughts about this new opportunity.
“The Guernsey County Foundation is happy to see another resource for our county in the Gulfport Energy Fund,” said Wright. “With growing philanthropic resources to support our community and the leaders of the many nonprofits and initiatives here, the future is bright.”

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

       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...
