Did you know the Haynesville Shale was an unconventional gas source (unconventional meaning a gas that is more difficult to extract)? You had better know this by now. lol. In fact the Haynesville is 1 of 10 shale plays predicted to become mega-fields with ultimate production of at least 30 Tcf each. This is the subject of the DUG 2009 Conference and GHS Site member Austin Eudaly will be covering this conference for GHS. Be sure to touch base…

The EnergyBiz Leadrship Forum was put together well. The focus of the conference tackled the effects of the Obama stimulus package on the power industry, as well as the short- and long-term consequences of the energy and economic crises. As I mentioned in a previous post, I was a little disappointed that CNG was not directly tackled in depth. It seemed that every other energy aspect was covered except CNG. This absence is probably explained when one looks at the current…

I'm sure those of us connected to the NG Industry won't mind the arctic blast heading our way. This was bound to happen...stay warm up there...and turn that heat up (that sounds bad doesn't it?).
