U.S. Enters Winter Heating Season With Highest Level of Natural Gas Storage Since 2020: EIA
Natural gas storage stocks in the Lower 48 United States will commence the winter heating season with the highest level of gas in storage since 2020, according to a Dec.7 report published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The U.S. has five percent higher stocks entering the winter period compared to the previous five-year average…...
Associated Natural Gas Production Significantly Higher During 2023 In Top Three Permian Oil Plays: EIA
Associated natural gas production from the highest three yielding tight oil plays in the Permian region (Wolfcamp, Spraberry and Bone Spring) averaged a total of 13.7 billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d) during the first seven months of 2023, nearly triple the production level of 4.7 Bcf/d in 2018, according to a Dec. 6 report…...
Fifty Companies Sign Oil and Gas Decarbonization Charter Unveiled at UN Climate Summit
Fifty companies, representing over 40 percent of global oil production have committed to near-zero methane emissions and end routine flaring by 2030 under the Oil and Gas Decarbonization Charter (OGDC) launched at the 28th Conference of the Parties to the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change. The charter is part of series of initiatives launched…...

Winter Reliability Challenges Persist Amid Efforts to Strengthen U.S. Grid Against Extreme Weather
Grid operators and utilities across the U.S. have enhanced their winter preparation initiatives building on lessons learned from winter storms Uri and Elliott. Higher-than-average temperatures in the northern half of the U.S. are expected to…Read the full report …...
Visual Primer: Winter Reliability Challenges Persist Amid Efforts to Strengthen U.S. Grid Against Extreme Weather
Grid operators and utilities across the U.S. have enhanced their winter preparation initiatives building on lessons learned from winter storms Uri and Elliott. Higher-than-average temperatures in the northern half of the U.S. are expected to lower electricity and natural gas demand, and all regions are projected to have adequate resources for a normal winter. However, extreme weather, such as a prolonged cold snap, continues to pose reliability risks to the grid.
