U.S. locations of natural gas and oil production

Posted on: Tuesday, March 26, 2013

 

Have you ever wondered where natural gas and oil are produced in the U.S, and how much is produced by state? To help identify these U.S. locations and their production numbers, NBC News created an interactive map, giving users the ability to select a state and view its total energy production figures. Users can also make an energy sector selection from a drop-down menu and view state-specific production numbers pertaining to the energy sector chosen. Energy sector options include coal, natural gas, crude oil, nuclear energy, biofuels, other renewable energy, and fracking. 

Natural gas and our current standard of living

Posted on: Wednesday, February 27, 2013

When people think about natural gas, they usually think about their home water heater. In fact, most people know that approximately half of the electricity in Texas is generated by natural gas, but it is uncommonly known that natural gas is part of virtually everything we use, wear and eat.  

Energy Service Companies Switching to Natural Gas Vehicles and Pumps

Posted on: Tuesday, January 22, 2013

The shale gas boom, which started in the Barnett Shale, has produced so much natural gas that prices have remained low. While low natural gas prices are good for consumers, energy exploration and production companies have changed their focus from dry gas plays such as the Barnett Shale, to oil rich plays such as the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas.

The Economics of Natural Gas Exports

Posted on: Tuesday, January 22, 2013

The game-changing development of the Barnett Shale unleashed a torrent of natural gas supplies in the United States. Supplies increased so quickly as other gas shales were developed that natural gas supplies outpaced demand, causing prices to decline since mid-2008, and now becoming fairly stable for the last year or so.

Cinematic Propaganda

Posted on: Thursday, January 3, 2013

In 2010, a “documentary” about the evils of natural gas drilling, funded by the Park Foundation, an anti-drilling group, was shown at the Sundance Film Festival. The actor Robert Redford, an outspoken anti-drilling advocate, hosts the annual festival. The documentary film, named “Gasland,” went on to win an award at Sundance, was picked up by HBO, and was subsequently nominated for an Academy Award in the documentary category.

More firms and states converting vehicles to natural gas

Posted on: Monday, December 10, 2012

The shale energy revolution has led the energy industry to seek out new markets for its products, and energy companies are increasingly setting their sights on the transportation sector. Promoting natural gas as a cheaper, cleaner-burning alternative to gasoline and diesel, energy companies, public utilities and government officials are trying to boost demand for natural gas buses, taxis, shuttles, delivery trucks and heavy-duty work vehicles of all sorts, while simultaneously encouraging development of the fueling infrastructure that will be needed to keep them running.

Natural gas: a game changer

Posted on: Monday, December 10, 2012

When George Mitchell went on a quest to coax natural gas out of the Barnett Shale in the early 1980s, he was not trying to start an energy revolution. He just wanted to have enough natural gas to run his gas processing plant in Bridgeport, Texas. He achieved his goal but he also set into motion a series of events that has become a worldwide energy revolution. The first event was the development of the Barnett Shale. Other shale plays quickly followed and an energy revolution was born.

Switching from coal to natural gas for generating electricity saves water

Posted on: Wednesday, October 24, 2012

The Webber Energy Group recently released a study entitled “Can switching fuels save water? A life cycle quantification of freshwater consumption for Texas coal- and natural gas-fired electricity.” The study, led by Michael Webber, an associate professor at the University of Texas at Austin, concludes that Texas could save a significant amount of water by switching from coal to natural gas for power generation.

TCEQ Announces Grants for the Texas Natural Gas Vehicle Grants Program

Posted on: Tuesday, July 24, 2012

 

On July 9, 2012, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) announced that up to $18 million in grants are available to encourage an entity that owns and operates a heavy-duty or medium-duty motor vehicle (gasoline or diesel) to replace that vehicle with a natural gas vehicle. Or, alternatively, repower the vehicle with a natural gas engine.

Revisiting Documentary "Gasland" and False Claims

Posted on: Monday, June 18, 2012

In a 2010 documentary entitled “Gasland,” the process of hydraulic fracturing is portrayed as the catalyst for numerous problems across America. It is blamed for killing fish in rivers and for causing tap water contamination. But, is everything featured in the documentary "Gasland" accurate? The answer is no. In fact, "Gasland" promotes ideas about natural gas drilling that have been found to be false, inaccurate and misleading.
