In April 2022, MDN reported that the top brass at Kinder Morgan, the owner and operator of the Elba Island LNG export facility (also known as Southern LNG), was considering an expansion of its modestly-sized facility (see Kinder Morgan Considers Expanding Marcellus-fed Elba Island LNG). Little did we know, but KM submitted an application to

The mayor of Chester, PA (a suburb of Philadelphia), Sefan Roots, boldly proclaimed over the weekend that an LNG export project planned for his community called Penn LNG is "dead in the water." He bases his claim on Joe Biden's recent declaration that all LNG export projects are "on pause" (see White House Makes it

The White House has made official what we warned you about yesterday (see Biden Attacks NatGas by Blocking 17 U.S. LNG Export Terminals). This morning, the Biden administration announced it has put "a temporary pause on pending decisions of Liquefied Natural Gas exports." The reason? The so-called "climate crisis" is "the existential threat of our

Two weeks ago, MDN warned you that the Bidenistas were conducting a secret “review,” being led by the Department of Energy (DOE), to evaluate whether regulators should consider mythical “climate change” when deciding whether a proposed natural gas export project meets "the national interest" (see Bidenistas Look to Block Authorization of New LNG Export Projects).

The Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF) is a group of natural gas exporting countries, including Qatar, Russia, Iran, and Venezuela --- terrorist-supporting countries led by thugs and dictators. Whoops! A little too much honesty there? We don't normally track the actions and statements of the GECF. However, the group holds more than two-thirds of the

According to Reuters, the amount of natural gas flowing to U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) export plants (called feedgas) dropped to a one-year low this week as an Arctic freeze caused some energy firms to divert fuel to the domestic market, and as Freeport LNG's facility in Texas experienced mechanical problems. Yep, another outage at

QatarEnergy, the world's second-largest exporter of liquefied natural gas, has stopped sending tankers via the Red Sea, although production continues. Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi group has, since November, attacked vessels in the Red Sea, part of a route that accounts for about 12% of the world's shipping traffic. The terrorists are using Israel's justified war in

In what is a laughable defense, Venture Global LNG told the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) that it cannot meet contractual obligations to provide liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargoes to several major customers because its export plant is not yet ready to meet three criteria found in the contracts. Venture Global continues its charade that

Somewhat lost in yesterday's big news of the Chesapeake/Southwestern merger (which sucked up most of the news oxygen) was an announcement by EQT Corporation, the current largest natural gas producer in the U.S. EQT unveiled a new 15-year deal with Glenfarne Energy's Texas LNG export facility to liquefy 0.5 million tons per annum (MTPA) for

Even though separately (and together) Chesapeake Energy and Southwestern Energy own MORE assets in the Marcellus/Utica than in the Haynesville shale play, the main driver to do a merger between the two companies is the Haynesville and that play's close proximity to LNG export facilities along the Gulf Coast. That is the conclusion of most
