Exclusive: Rextag Reports on Massive Gas Pipeline Leak
06/12/2024
Rextag Exclusive: According to the latest data analysis from Rextag Energy DataLink, a substantial natural gas emission event was identified on April 9, 2024. Using satellite technology provided by Carbon Mapper, the data indicates an emission rate of approximately 37,000 kg per hour, equivalent to 1,8 MMCF per hour. While the complete duration of the event is undetermined, assuming it lasted for only an hour, the leaked natural gas is so massive that it’s worth putting into perspective.
Rextag consistently monitors and compiles data on Natural Gas. Discover detailed insights in our exclusive ‘American Gas Data & Map Book’.
The emission originated from the Gazprom-operated Krasnodar Krai-Serpukhov Gas Pipeline near the Krasnodar and Rostov border in Russia, at a small facility installed as part of an expansion project completed in early 2015 that appears to be a small metering or pipeline servicing station. This pipeline segment is part of a multiple line right-of-way that serves the TurkStream and Blue Stream pipelines, both of which export Russian gas to Turkey.
As of the time of this writing, Rextag has not received any comments from Gazprom regarding the nature and extent of this event. Due to the ongoing conflict in the region, conducting further investigations to clarify the causes of this incident is challenging. Although there is no evidence to suggest that the leak is a result of damage from the conflict, whose front line is approximately 100 miles away, it is important to note that this area, being a conflict zone, is at a high risk of infrastructure damage.

Look At The Future Of American And Appalachian Gas Production
The crux of the matter is rather simple: productivity gains of local energy operators have been stable not only because they are drilling better acreage, but also because players finally realized capital efficiency gains. And even if some new obstacles impede Appalachia's growth at the same rate as the Permian or Haynesville, it does not detract from the value of the Marcellus and Utica basins. The Appalachians will still be the top producers at a very competitive pace as long as commercial inventory exists. After all, as long as there is commercial inventory, somebody will have to drill.
US Natural Gas May Update: Current Trends and Market Outlook
According to the latest report from the EIA, working natural gas stocks in the United States saw a substantial increase. Stocks rose by 79 billion cubic feet (Bcf), bringing the total to 2,563 Bcf. This marks a significant year-over-year increase of 444 Bcf. Current stockpiles are considerably above the five-year average, having grown by 640 Bcf compared to the average of 1,923 Bcf.
Agrivoltaics: Merging Solar Power and Farming Across the USA – Promise, Problems, and the Path Ahead
Agrivoltaics, a combination of agriculture and solar power generation on the same land, is quickly gaining traction across the United States as a solution to balancing the demand for renewable energy and the need to preserve farmland. As the country pushes toward its goal of achieving net-zero emissions, solar power is expected to play a significant role in this transition. However, concerns about the loss of agricultural land have led to the rise of agrivoltaics, where farming and solar energy production coexist.
The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season has hit Florida hard, with Hurricanes Helene and Milton exposing the vulnerabilities in the state's energy infrastructure. As Florida grapples with the aftermath of these back-to-back storms, the damage to oil, gas, and energy supplies has created severe disruptions, leaving residents and industries struggling to recover.
California has long been at the forefront of renewable energy in the United States, from its vast solar farms to its growing battery storage capacities. But beneath the headlines of a "clean energy revolution" lies a complex reality—one shaped by ambitious targets, grid challenges, and the everyday experiences of Californians grappling with rising energy costs and increasing grid instability. As California pushes towards its 100% clean energy goal, the road is full of both promise and pitfalls.
