Joint Ventures Ramp Up Activity
Good news from the nation’s midstream sector is a welcome respite in this uncertain time, and joint ventures between operators who offer individual strengths and share common growth strategies just make sense, maybe now more than ever. Here’s a shoutout to the JVs currently making some positive noise in the midstream space.
Taking the Plunge Never Sounded So Good
History proves that times of crisis and turmoil inspire ingenious ideas, amazing inventions, and bold leaps of faith despite the odds that would otherwise subvert them. When the Bubonic plague struck England in 1665 forcing the closure of Cambridge University, mathematics professor Isaac Newton returned home where his brain went into overdrive upon witnessing an apple fall from a tree. A heady example to be sure, but we’re living in a brave new world now where a number of upstream and midstream businesses are biting the bullet and taking those leaps even as the industry reconstructs itself.

A New Era Ahead for Pipelines?

DOE Sets Aside $33 Million to Rehab Old Gas Pipelines
At least 10 of the nation’s natural gas utilities are about to receive a long overdue overhaul of its pipeline distribution systems. The Dept. of Energy announced last February that it had earmarked funds to rehabilitate natural gas pipelines originally constructed in the 1800s with cast iron, and later in the 1930s with wrought iron—both of which have become a contentious source of leaks and failures.

With the West Coast heating up to triple-digit temps amid “firenados” and peak electricity demand soaring, the first rolling blackouts since the 2001 energy crisis have unfurled, leaving residents face-melting and a governor declaring a state of emergency.

The Operators: Palisade Pipeline
Lubbock-based Palisade Pipeline scored its first victory as a startup little more than a year ago with a timely idea to build an infrastructure system that could pipe reclaimed water to the Permian’s oilfields. Reliance on fresh water by producers in the desert-like environs of West Texas and N.M., had already become a growing, hot-button issue with an average use in 2019 of 33.6 million gallons a day for fracking operations. So, Palisade approached the city of Lubbock and offered to buy up to 6 million gallons per day of wastewater, which then would be resold to Permian oil and gas producers.

U.S. LNG Export Leaders Hold on Tight, Move Forward in a World of Recovery
Despite—or even in spite of—a pandemic that’s ravaged oil and gas demand across the globe, the U.S. remains on course to become the largest exporter of LNG in as little as five years. True, the world’s four LNG heavyweight suppliers (Qatar, Australia, the U.S., and Russia) all have reduced shipments due to decline in demand. This “ouch” period after more than two years of record growth, especially in the U.S. According to the EIA, the U.S. hit an all-time high in January of 8.1 BCFD LNG exported just before COVID-19 slammed the industry into a cliff.
