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.
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.

U.S. crude oil refining capacity experienced a notable boost this year, climbing 1.5% to reach 18.38 million barrels per day. The recent expansion includes Exxon Mobil's Beaumont, Texas, refinery, which underwent a significant increase of approximately 250,000 barrels per day. As of the start of 2023, there were 124 active oil refineries nationwide. After a two-year downturn due to decreased demand during the COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. refining capacity saw a significant rebound. In 2023 alone, capacity surged by over 100,000 barrels per day to reach 18.1 million, although this still trails the peak of 18.98 million barrels per day seen in 2019.
Eagle Ford Shale is a hotspot for international investment. While U.S. companies continue to focus heavily on the Permian Basin, the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas has become a magnet for international energy firms.
U.S. oil and gas output is leveling off after a period of intense activity. As of March 2024, crude oil production hovered around 13.2 million barrels per day, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. This marked a slight increase of less than half a million barrels per day from the previous year, indicating a slowdown from the rapid growth seen in the latter half of 2023.
