Philadelphia-based Econsult Solutions, Inc. today released an economic impact study that finds the Sunoco Logistics (NYSE: SXL) Mariner East projects are expected to add up to $4.2 billion to Pennsylvania’s economy, supporting more than 30,000 jobs during the construction period and approximately 300-400 permanent jobs.

Marcellus-Utica Midstream Conference – Barone Notes


Last week’s MUM conference was pick up for everyone who attended.  The conference presented a realistic look at the oil and gas price declines compared to other downturns and it does not seem as bad.  Additionally, it was a midstream conference and midstream work is continuing unabated.  My notes from conference. o Kudos to Hart Energy for a superb conference which saw record attendance in the range of 2200 attendees.  I credit the record breaking attendance to the industry’s need to get the latest information.  As we see the oil and gas industry is very dynamic, and literally, situations change overnight.  I encourage vendors to the industry to attend as many information events as you can in order to stay current with the status of drilling or midstream activity. o Thank you to Barry Davis, EnLink’s President and Chief Executive Officer, for calming the concern over falling prices.  His presentation illustrated the price declines since the mid 1980’s.  The price dec

Predicted Shale Oil Impacts on Global Markets


A projected eight million barrels of liquid natural gas and oil were added from tight plays in North America between years 2010 and 2020. Obviously, there are numerous global implications across the fields of academia, environmental advocacy, and oil advocacy. In general, the consensus from different groups is that oil prices will gradually decline due to domestic shale mining, and more information from ongoing research and development initiatives will simultaneously mitigate concerns about safety and environmental impact. Where the U.S. Is Today Currently, the tight liquids production rate in North America is approaching and passing 4 million barrels per day, including liquid natural gas. Approximately 50 percent of growth is currently attributed to Eagle Ford, and other notable growth is shared between Bakken and Permian Midland. North Dakota Bakken oil production may exceed expectations later this year depending on weather conditions. Shale Oil Could Be Exactly What the Global Econ
