Rex Energy Gives Back To Carroll County

This past Saturday, Rex Energy hosted a family BBQ for their leaseholders in Carroll County.  The event featured catered BBQ, rides, a petting zoo and musical entertainment for the attendees.  Hundreds of Carroll County residents turned out to enjoy the free event and learn a little more about the plans Rex Energy has for the county.  But what made this event so special was the contribution Rex Energy made to a local charity.
Tom Stabley, Chief Executive Officer of Rex Energy, made a generous $10,000 donation to theCarroll County Special Olympics to provide for new uniforms and equipment.  This thoughtful donation was presented to Tomi Moore, local coordinator for the Special Olympics, who accepted the check with other coaches and participants.
Rex Donation
Rex Energy raised the funds through a charity golf outing they host every year, from which the proceeds go back to the communities where Rex operates. This year Carroll County received a total of $25,000 of those proceeds.
“As part of Rex’s involvement in the communities where we operate each year we host a charity golf tournament in our headquarter office in State College Pennsylvania.  This year the company raised over $100,000 to be donated to each of the areas where Rex operates, both in Butler County, Carroll County and then in southern Illinois and Indiana.  So this years contributions for Carroll County was approximately $15,000 for some new computer equipment at the Carrollton High School and the also we are very pleased to announce the donation for $10,000 to the Carroll County Special Olympics.”—Tom Stabley, CEO, Rex Energy
With no dedicated funding for the program, Rex Energy’s donation was much needed for the team.  More than 100 Carroll County residents compete in basketball, bowling, cheerleading or track events locally and in Columbus. Rex Energy’s donation will help replace uniforms and equipment that are close to eight years old.
“We have a lot of volunteers who pitch in and help all of the time and it is a joy to work with these kids.  And I am so pleased that Rex Energy has seen the great need we have down here because I do not have my kids go out to solicit or earn money.  I go to the community and the community does us very well and that is how we support ourselves, basically by community support.”—Tomi Moore, Local Coordinator, Carroll County Special Olympics

In addition to having a great day for a BBQ, Rex Energy made a difference for those individuals participating in the Carroll County Special Olympics – just one of many examples of how the industry in Ohio gives back to the communities in which it has the pleasure of operating.

Fracktivist in Dimock Releases Carefully Edited Video, Refuses to Release the Rest

From Energy in Depth: There is something very strange going on along Carter Road, in Dimock, Pennsylvania, and I’m not speaking of natural gas, methane migration, contamination, litigation or even the extensive water testing there by the EPA and others.  No, I’m talking about a new “Watergate” conspiracy, complete with 18 minutes of missing tape (well, video, actually). It seems the ever-present Green Party member and  naturist   Vera Scroggins  (a/k/a  Vera Duerga ) has posted a video of Craig Sautner meeting with the EPA.  Mysteriously, the video is but 14 seconds in length, cutting off conversation in what is obviously mid-stream.  It raises a question Craig Sautner, like  Ronald Reagan in Kings Row , might have asked, “Where’s the rest of me?’  Carter Road, isn’t Kings Row, of course, (at least not until you arrive at  the mansion Scott Ely, one of the Dimock litigants, is building with his royalty money ), but there appears to be a whole lot of film editing going on there to fi

The Second Largest Oil and Gas Merger - Cabot and Cimarex

       Due to investor pressure, the U.S shale drillers are being pushed to improve financial and operational performance after a few years of poor returns. Even though the industry has improved its numbers, when compared to last year, investors still want more to be done for them to earn more money.      That's why two mid-tier shale drillers, Cabot and Climarex, have decided to merge in order to eliminate $100 million in annual costs, which means more money for the investors. This all-stock transaction is valued at about $7.4 billion, which is relatively high for the oil and gas sector.      The new entity will be renamed and the headquarters located in Houston, Texas. Cabot shareholders will own 49.5 percent of the new entity, and Climarex the rest.       The Cimarex-Cabot merger will address the investor's demand for a higher amount of returning cash. The initial plan is to pay a 50-cent-per-share special dividend on closing the deal while offering a quarterly variable div

Is a Strong Oil Demand Expected This Year?

  According to the world's largest oil traders, global oil demand is set for a rebound. Between now and the end of 2022, global consumption is expected to increase by up to 8 million barrels each day. Vitol Group, the world's largest oil trader, supports this statement.  In an interview with Bloomberg, Vitol's chief executive Russell Hardy said, "We'll need all eight cylinders to get through 2022". This, of course, is due to the lower than average demand for oil at the moment. Reopening economies and Asian markets will create a strong demand rebound by the end of this year and in 2022.  Although the demand for jet fuel will slowly increase, it will still be below average at the end of the year. Nevertheless, a surge in petrochemicals will offset the expected delay in jet fuel demand. Last year, the oil surplus reached a record of 1 billion barrels. This excess is already more than halfway drained, and experts believe it will be depleted by the third quarter th
