Northeast in Need For Gas. Lacking Pipeline Investment
05/29/2017
We have some extra info on this Rextag map for you.
Power generators and distributors in New York and New England are chomping at the bit for more natural gas, not just volumes but new and expanded delivery lines. They are also frustrated by the political, structural, and economic impediments to increased transmission infrastructure.
Much of the blame for lack of gas supply is laid at the feet of the state authorities to put new pipelines in New York state.
The challenges of getting gas into the region goes beyond alleged intransigence in Albany, but New York state’s geography is stark: gas in pipelines from the Marcellus, the Utica, indeed from anywhere else in the U.S., goes through New York state to get to New England.
Even if New England gets behind new infrastructure, we’ve got New York that says ‘hell no,’ warned van Welie at Daymark. It is a very complicated problem especially as on-call capacity is being shut. I wish that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission could be given the same jurisdiction over pipelines as it has over electrical transmission systems. That would be the way to address the need for pipeline infrastructure.

Northeast Pipeline Expansion Pre-Filing Application Withdrawn
![$data['article']['post_image_alt']](https://images2.rextag.com/public/HEMDS_SiteSupportFiles/BlogImages/New_Engl_Fuel_Map.png)
The expansion would have added about 1 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of capacity to the pipeline, which has capacity of about 3.1 Bcf/d.
Crude oil pipelines in North America: a current perspective
![$data['article']['post_image_alt']](https://images2.rextag.com/public/blog/74blog__Crude_oil_pipelines_in_North_America_a_current_perspective.png)
Being the main means of transferring crude oil around the world, pipelines rapidly route oil and its derivative products (gasoline, jet fuel, diesel fuel, heating oil, and heavier fuel oils) to refineries and empower other businesses. The U.S. and Canada solely make North America a major oil hub for more than 90,000 miles of crude oil and petroleum product pipelines, which are connected to more than 140 refineries daily processing about 20 million barrels of oil. Compared to 2010, U.S. crude oil production has increased more than twice: from 5.4 to 11.5 million barrels a day. Therefore, newly produced oil obliged energy companies to expand their pipeline networks, but it has only increased by 56%. According to the latest data, Plains manages the largest pipeline network across the U.S. and Canada (its diameter is at least 10 inches) which is the 14,919-mile network that spans from the northwestern tip of Alberta down to the southern coasts of Texas and Louisiana. The place where all these various spreading pipeline networks carry crude oil is refineries, where it is transformed into different petroleum products. Gulf Coast (PADD 3) possesses several refineries with the largest throughput in North America that process more than 500,000 barrels per day. Not only does the development of new pipelines give a plethora of opportunities for economic growth but also it remains a contentious issue in Canada and the U.S., with the cancellation of the KeystoneXL pipeline emblematic of growing anti-pipeline sentiment. In 2021, only 14 petroleum liquids pipeline construction plans were completed in the U.S., which is considered the lowest amount of new pipelines and expansions ever since 2013. Anti-pipeline sentiment did not come out unexpectedly as leaks and spills in just the last decade have resulted in billions of dollars of damages. From 2010 to 2020, the Pipelineand Hazardous Materials Safety Administration reported 983 incidents that resulted in 149,000 spilled and unrecovered barrels of oil, even five fatalities, 27 injuries, and more than $2.5B in damages.

Shell overturned a landmark court order demanding it cut emissions by nearly half. Is this a victory for Big Oil or just a delay in the climate accountability movement?

Before it was Expand Energy, the largest natural gas-weighted exploration and production company in the U.S., it was Chesapeake Energy. This company faced and survived nearly every extreme the energy industry could throw, including bankruptcy. With its recent $7.4 billion merger with Southwestern Energy, Expand Energy has achieved a new milestone: it’s the largest natural gas producer in the U.S., powered by substantial reserves and resources across crucial shale regions.

Oil companies across the Gulf of Mexico are springing into action as Tropical Storm Rafael bears down, marking yet another disruption in a storm-laden season. BP, Chevron, Equinor, and Shell are evacuating offshore staff and preparing for potential impacts on their platforms, an all-too-familiar ritual for Gulf operators this year.
