ETP Acknowledges That Rover Pipeline Won't Be Done on Schedule by End of 1st Quarter

By -
From Seeking Alpha's transcript of Energy Transfer Partner's 4th quarter results earnings call:
Well, the newly approved, you got things that we're working on like Enable. We've got – we actually have some projects approved by our board that are not public yet and there's reasons for that around some tax abatements and things like that. But we've got a handful that we're in the process of completing. In that mix, just in the second quarter as everybody knows we're moving quickly on Red Bluff. We're finalizing Rebel II, bringing on next quarter. We're bringing on the Enable project out of Fort Worth Basin in the second quarter also. We're ramping up volumes and a little bit of cost around PE3. And then in the third quarter, we've got Frac V coming online. So there's just a lot of new projects that are in the works that are going to hit as we keep saying, they're all coming on kind of at the same time. We have – we're set up for a tremendous second quarter with those projects along with Rover fully on and along with Mariner fully on. We couldn't be more excited about getting to the end of the second quarter and bringing all these projects on.

ETP had been hoping, of course, to get the Rover project completed by the end of the 1st quarter.  It's not surprising with the delays from drilling being blocked by the FERC on multiple occasions and the continued pressure from the Ohio EPA that the end date has now been pushed back.

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...
