Natural gas prices

our energy consumption has increased rapidly. Most of this energy consumption is given by fossil fuels, for instance, coal, or natural gas. However, some research shows a questionable method of drawing out natural gas: Hydraulic fracturing or fracking, “the injection of fluid at high pressure into an underground rock formation in order to pen fissures and allow trapped gas or crude oil to flow through a pipe to a wellhead at surface” (). The technique of fracking has been known since the 1940s…

totaling 15Bcf/d of natural gas export, approximately 20% of natural gas produced in the U.S. in 2015. There are fifteen additional proposals being filed or in a pending status with FERC totaling a capacity of natural gas export of 25Bcf/d. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) studied the potential impact of increased exports in 2012. The case study indicated a potential 12Bcf/d of natural gas exports to increase domestic natural gas prices by $1.59/MMBtu. Clearly, gas is becoming…

and electricity generally used 27% of natural gas in 20141. Gasoline and natural gas become less available as time goes by. Algae biodiesel can replace gasoline after 20 years. Nuclear power and coal power can provide baseload electricity; solar power and natural gas can use battery to provide the peak electricity. Algae can be produced with waste water in the photobioreactors or open ponds. Photobioreactors is a closed environment which incorporates natural sunlight or artificial illumination…

Fracking for Freedom The United states has been feeling the squeeze for natural resources and domesticated production of products over the last few years. (“Dimick”) With gas prices rising and the threat of pollution in the air the people have been looking for alternative solutions to the problems facing us today. Over the last decade or so a new trend in the way we extract our natural gases has gained popularity. Hydraulic fracturing better known now as “fracking” has become the most…

pressure, to release energy resources trapped inside rocks. This recently new technology for drilling allows areas that were previously inaccessible for drilling, like very concentrated rocky areas, to now be opened up through fracking to obtain natural gases and oil. The water solution used with this drilling technique produces almost the same amount of “sludge” as an after effect. This sludge is disposed by either pumping it down a different hole in the ground, or leaving it in a “frack pond”,…

It has been long acknowledged that the Untied States is in need of finding a natural energy source in order to become a more sustainable country and to also become less dependent on the Middle East. Attaining natural gas and oil from shale is a game changer when it comes to energy production. However, this revolutionary approach has created environmental skepticism around how environmentally friendly and sustainable this practice actually is and the types of problems that could be associated…

Country Market Size: India’s demand for natural gas is forecasted to increase by 6.8%/year and will increase the consumption from 242.66 million cu m/day to 746 million cu m/day in the next 15 years. India does not currently have any pipeline connection to transport natural gas, therefore all gas is currently imported. India’s growing demand for gas makes the country a good candidate for an investment startup with-in the gas market. Current imports come from suppliers in Qatar, Australia,…
