| Will Low Prices Cause Gas Wells to Be Shut-In? Posted: 29 Oct 2010 10:52 PM PDT Will natural gas companies shut-in some of their wells in response to low gas prices? A Reuters article reports that Exxon does not plan to shut in the former XTO Energy wells but ConocoPhillips has shut-in some wells. There are a number of reasons why some companies do not shut-in wells. These include: the possibility of even lower prices in the future, difficulty restarting the well and obtaining original production levels, long-term supply agreements and more. For more details see the “Industry and Market Structure” page of NaturalGas.org (fifth paragraph from the bottom). |
| Objections to the NPRA Resource Reductions Posted: 29 Oct 2010 10:34 PM PDT Kevin Banks, Director of the Alaska Division of Oil and Gas objects to the recent USGS reduction of oil and natural gas resources in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. |
| Did the Kasatochi Volcanic Eruption Boost Salmon Populations? Posted: 29 Oct 2010 10:21 PM PDT When Kasatochi Volcano erupted in 2008 ash fertilized the ocean and triggered a heavy phytoplankton bloom in the Gulf of Alaska. This produced an abundance of food for young salmon in the Gulf and may have given a strong boost to their population. |
| Geothermal Heat Pumps in US Homes Posted: 29 Oct 2010 10:15 PM PDT Geothermal heat pumps are installed in about 1 out of every 38 new homes in the United States. An article on the Reuters website surveys geothermal heating and cooling for US homes. |
| Posted: 29 Oct 2010 10:12 PM PDT The Energy Information Administration has a really nice map of the Eagle Ford Shale Play. The map has thickness contours, subsea structural contours, outcrops, oil and gas well sites, and windows for oil, wet gas/condensate and dry gas. A really nice map of the Eagle Ford in Texas. |
| Natural Gas Liquids: An Eagle Ford Bonus Posted: 29 Oct 2010 10:04 PM PDT A well with some natural gas liquids production can be worth a lot more than a well that simply produces gas. An article in the WinnipegFreePress website explores natural gas liquids increasing the value of Eagle Ford properties. |
| Controlled Landslide on the Pacific Coast Highway Posted: 29 Oct 2010 10:02 PM PDT A crane was used to bludgeon unstable soil left after a recent natural landslide damaged a hillside near Capistrano Beach that overlooks the Pacific Coast Highway. |
