It's Tricky - Chevron's Diminished Role in Venezuela Complicates Plans for U.S. Refiners Seeking Heavy Crude

4 days ago | rbnenergy.com | Lisa Shidler

Exports of Venezuelan crude to the U.S. have moved lower in recent months, a trend that seems likely to continue with the May 27 expiration of Chevron’s permit to operate there. But while a limited extension of that permit appears likely, if not yet official, the development adds new challenges for Gulf Coast refiners that process heavy crude.
I’m Back (Back in the LNG Groove), Encore Edition - How Woodside's FID on Louisiana LNG Shakes Things Up

1 week ago | rbnenergy.com | Lindsay Schneider

Woodside Energy’s final investment decision (FID) on the $17.5 billion Louisiana LNG terminal was a stunner. For one thing, only 1 million metric tons per annum (MMtpa) of the project’s 16.5 MMtpa (2.2 Bcf/d) of capacity is under contract — U.S. LNG export projects typically have commitments for two-thirds or more of their output before pulling the trigger.

I Want to Break Free - Gray Oak Expansion Helping to Ease Permian-to-Corpus Crude Oil Congestion

2 weeks ago | rbnenergy.com | Lisa Shidler

The pipelines carrying crude oil from the Permian Basin in West Texas to the Corpus Christi area have been as jammed as an urban highway on the Friday before Memorial Day weekend. The Gray Oak Pipeline, the largest from the Permian to Corpus, has just completed the 80-Mb/d first phase of a planned two-phase expansion that will add a total of 120 Mb/d of capacity. In today’s RBN blog, we’ll discuss what this project means for pipeline congestion and crude exports out of Corpus and nearby Ingleside.
Don’t Stop Believin' - Is the Marcellus/Utica Finally Poised for a Gas-Production Breakout?

2 weeks ago | rbnenergy.com | Housley Carr

The Marcellus/Utica region is by far the most prolific natural gas production area in the U.S., accounting for about one-third of the nation’s daily output. The shale play experienced phenomenal growth in the 2010s, its gas production rising from less than 2 Bcf/d to more than 33 Bcf/d over that decade. But the pace of growth has slowed dramatically in recent years, mostly due to takeaway constraints.
I Will Wait - Backlog for Natural Gas Turbines Expands on Surging Demand, Supply Constraints

2 weeks ago | rbnenergy.com | Lisa Shidler

There is tremendous buzz around natural-gas-fired turbines right now with backlogs reportedly stretching five years into the future due to supply-chain bottlenecks, labor shortages and a surge in demand. The power generation industry is poised for a major upswing as data center development and overall electricity demand continue to accelerate, driving an even greater need for gas turbines.
Waxy and I Know It - Predicting the Uinta Basin's Productivity and Long-Term Staying Power

3 weeks ago | rbnenergy.com | Housley Carr

There’s a lot to like about the Uinta Basin’s waxy crude, but ramping up its production and use in refinery feedstock slates will require multimillion-dollar investments in rail terminals, special rail cars, heated storage, refinery equipment and other midstream and downstream infrastructure. A natural concern for E&Ps, midstreamers, and refiners is whether the basin has sufficient long-term staying power to justify the upfront costs and commitments.
I Can See Clearly Now - As Hydrogen Market Evolves, Best Uses Will Focus on Cost, Sustainability

3 weeks ago | rbnenergy.com | Jason Lindquist

Hydrogen has a well-established, if limited, role in the modern economy. It has been used in refining and ammonia production for decades, but its potential has long been touted in various areas, including decarbonizing hard-to-abate industrial processes such as steelmaking, as well as in larger roles in heavy-duty transportation and energy storage.
Rhinestone Cowboy - Vaquero Midstream Breaks Into the Big Time With Delaware Basin Expansion

3 weeks ago | rbnenergy.com | Housley Carr

The Permian’s Midland and Delaware basins have seen their share of midstream success stories the past few years — many of them privately backed efforts to gain a foothold and then expand into the big time. Navitas Midstream Partners (later sold to Enterprise Products Partners) comes to mind; so do Oryx Midstream and Brazos Midstream. Now comes Vaquero Midstream — vaquero, of course, being Spanish for cowboy — the scrappy developer of a gas gathering and processing network in the Delaware.
Should've Been a Cowboy - E&Ps See Hope in Western Haynesville, But Success Is No Sure Thing

1 month ago | rbnenergy.com | Lisa Shidler

Much like a cowboy venturing into uncharted territory, E&Ps are roaming Northeast Texas and the far-western sections of the Haynesville Shale in search of more natural gas. It’s a challenging adventure, and while there’s a lot of hope and hype, the recent history of developments outside the Haynesville’s main producing areas shows that success is far from guaranteed.
