A press release from Ariel Corporation:
Rover Pipeline LLC, a subsidiary of Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners and Mount Vernon, Ohio-based Ariel Corporation announced today that Ariel has been awarded the contract to supply 39 natural gas compressors to the Rover Pipeline. The total cost of the contract is estimated at more than $34 million.

Rover Pipeline is a natural gas pipeline that will transport domestically produced natural gas from multiple processing facilities in Northeast Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania to multiple markets in the central United States including Ohio and Michigan. The pipeline also will facilitate natural gas deliveries to markets in the Northeast, Great Lakes and Gulf Coast regions of the United States as well as to Canadian Provinces. The $4.2 billion pipeline is designed to transport up to 3.25 billion cubic feet of natural gas through 36” and 42” diameter pipeline.

“Energy Transfer has a ‘buy American’ mentality,” said Joey Mahmoud, senior vice president, Energy Transfer Partners and project executive for Rover Pipeline. “We are proud to announce this contract with Ariel as they have been an integral part of the Ohio business community for nearly 50 years. Their deep Ohio ties are especially important to us as more than 200 miles of our proposed route passes through Ohio. 
“We are looking forward to becoming an integral part of the Ohio business and civic communities as well through the anticipated 6,500 construction jobs we will be bringing to the state and the 30-40 permanent jobs associated with the Ohio section of our Rover Pipeline.” 
Rover Pipeline purchased a combination of Caterpillar natural gas engines and Ariel compressors providing in excess of 211,000 horsepower at nine compressor stations along its proposed 711-mile route. 
“Ariel Corporation is proud to play a significant role in our country’s growing energy sector,” said Robert Drews, Director of Marketing. “The depth of our experience and the quality of our products and distribution partners uniquely position us to deliver compressors to support Rover Pipeline’s compression needs.” 
Houston-based SEC Energy has been contracted by Rover Pipeline to package the 39 compressor units. SEC is a leading packager of large-scale natural gas compression equipment, and the only company in the industry to offer a full range of gas, electric and dual drive compressors. 
Established in 1966 and headquartered in Mount Vernon, Ohio, Ariel Corporation is the world's largest manufacturer of separable reciprocating gas compressors utilized by the global energy industry. As a world-class manufacturer, Ariel sets the industry standard through industry-leading research & development, expert design & manufacturing, and unmatched customer support.

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
