Increased US natural gas exports accelerating economy – API study
Increased LNG exports estimated to have minimal effect on natural gas price API has released a new study showing that increased exports of U.S. natural gas (in the form of liquefied natural gas or LNG) could support between 220,000 and 452,000 additional American jobs and add up to $73 billion to the U.S. economy by 2040. The […]

USGS study adds to overwhelming evidence fracking not significant threat to water
Data indicate UOG plays were not important sources of methane in sampled wells By Seth Whitehead, EnergyInDepth The United States Geological Survey (USGS) released a study Wednesday that echoes the topline conclusions of an already overwhelming list of peer-reviewed papers concluding hydraulic fracturing is not a major threat to drinking water. After randomly sampling 116 […]
NOAA study suggests research on Obama-era Methane Rules has inflated data
NOAA study timely as EPA issued 90-day stay on Obama-era fugitive methane emissions rules by Seth Whitehead, EnergyInDepth A new peer-reviewed National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) study suggests emission estimates reported in a series of studies used to justify federal methane regulations may have been significantly exaggerated. The latter research garnered considerable media coverage based […]
New EPA study indicates agency exaggerating methane emissions
Reported methane emissions from pneumatic controllers more than doubled in 2016 Ry Seth Whitehead, EnergyInDepth A new U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) study released last week indicates the agency may be greatly exaggerating oil and natural gas system methane emissions. By using a combination of extractive air sampling and remote optical gas imaging (OGI) tools […]
Not building pipelines in northeast United States would be ‘devastating’
By Nicole Jacobs, EnergyInDepth The U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Institute for 21st Energy recently released the fifth instalment of its Energy Accountability series: What if pipelines aren’t built into the Northeast?
