By -
From a press release:
Ariel Corporation, Industrial Piping Specialists and Emerson Process Management among the vendors for the natural gas pipeline project 
DALLAS, JULY 13, 2015– Rover Pipeline, LLC is pleased to announce it will spend more than an estimated $85 million with Ohio-based companies for goods and services related to the construction of the natural gas pipeline. The project will primarily serve domestic consumers by transporting natural gas from the rapidly expanding Marcellus and Utica shale production areas to U.S. markets in the Midwest, Great Lakes and Gulf Coast regions of the United States. 
Rover is currently placing orders for key components needed for the construction of the 711-mile pipeline from Ohio-based companies including Ariel Corporation, Industrial Piping Specialists and Emerson Process Management. These orders include parts used for piping, compression, steel, and bearings, along with construction contractors, and pipeline workers. 
"We are pleased to be a part of the Rover Pipeline project and to be able to provide jobs for Ohio citizens who will be responsible for the design, manufacture, and support of the compression equipment Rover needs for the project," said Robert Drews, Director of Marketing for Ariel Corporation, Mt. Vernon, Ohio. "We are committed to supporting Ohio’s natural gas infrastructure, and local economies in Ohio.” 
In addition to the supplies Rover will purchase from Ohio-based companies, construction of the pipeline will help others throughout the state. The project is estimated to create approximately 6,500 construction jobs in Ohio. The spending power of these individuals at local restaurants, laundromats, grocery and convenience stores, pharmacies, etc., creates tremendous economic benefit to the cities and towns along the route. Rover also estimates that more than $90 million will be paid directly to landowners for easements in Ohio, and approximately $135 million in ad valorem taxes in Ohio the first year the pipeline is in service. Ad valorem taxes are paid annually. 
The current list of Ohio-based vendors is below, and further information about each vendor can be found on their websites. Additional vendors will be announced in the coming months. 
Ariel Corporation (Mt. Vernon, OH)
$34.7 million Ariel frames and cylinders for compressors
Industrial Piping Specialists (Struthers, OH) & Warren Group/Allied Fitting(Fairfield, OH)

Gough, President and CEO of the Ohio Council of Retail Merchants. “Furthermore, there is a strong secondary benefit for Ohio retailers, with increased visits from current customers and new customers.”

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...
