Demand for natural gas in Northeast and pipeline capacity out of Appalachia are poised to grow in the coming years, but will production follow suit? Even if market conditions improve, it’s not a done deal. Today, we look at which producers are best positioned to grow if conditions warrant.
The U.S. energy industry is continuously evolving. Unlike the previous era of unconventional supply growth, demand is increasingly determining where capital will be deployed, reshaping investment priorities. That’s today’s subject and the focus of our upcoming School of Energy: Foundations.
There are several approaches hyperscalers can take to mitigate the climate-related impacts of their increasing gas consumption for data centers. These include buying and retiring environmental credits; capturing and sequestering gas-plant CO2; and developing more renewables and nuclear capacity.
Efforts to develop a new LNG export terminal along the Delaware River near Philadelphia appeared to be going nowhere. But now it seems that Penn America Energy’s moribund plan for such a project has gained new life with a new company name and a new site — in Eddystone Borough, PA.
The WTI crude-to-gas ratio has declined for three straight months, falling to 21.40 in July to date and moving to within 5% of year-ago levels.
A number of states have been early movers in the data center world, but several in the Northeast — while not yet major data center hubs — are laying the groundwork for a much bigger role. Today, we examine the plans of several states and how they could impact the region’s natural gas market.
Many hyperscalers now acknowledge that they will rely heavily on natural gas-fired generation to power their new data centers, at least for the near term. But that conflicts with “net zero” goals, so many AI giants are moving to mitigate the environmental impact of their fast-rising gas use.
It’s been quite a year already, with energy markets roiled by the Iran war. To survive such swings, you need a deep understanding of market fundamentals so that you can anticipate their effects. That’s today’s subject and the focus of our upcoming School of Energy: Foundations.
This morning Pembina Pipeline Corporation announced a positive Final Investment Decision (FID) on the Greenlight Electricity Centre (GLEC), a 932 MW gas-fired combined cycle power generation facility to be located within Alberta’s Industrial Heartland in Sturgeon County near Edmonton.
Liquids pipelines operate quite differently from their gas-pipeline cousins. They are regulated under a different law than gas pipelines, plus they face broader competition. As a result, they enjoy more flexibility in some respects but less in others than gas systems.
