Encino Energy Donates $35,000 Toward Environment, Health and Safety Projects

An Encino Energy press release:
Encino Energy made major donations from the Encino Energy Community Partnership Program earlier today supporting environment, health and safety projects in Carroll and Jefferson counties. 
In Jefferson County, Encino was asked to provide funding for the Wintersville Fire and Rescue to purchase eight Conex shipping containers. These containers will be used to build a training facility for the Wintersville Fire and Rescue, which will be located adjacent to the burn building and to support hose line operations, search and rescue, roof operations, ladder operations, confined space rescue, rope rescue, sprinkler systems, and foam operations. The training center will be available for use by fire departments from Jefferson, Belmont, and Harrison counties. Encino invested $20,000 from its Community Partnership Program toward this effort. 
“These new containers are incredibly important—and Encino Energy was the first to answer our call for action to help make this happen. More important than the check, has been the partnership and collaboration we’ve had with Encino throughout this entire project, “said Rob Harrington, Fire Chief, Wintersville Volunteer Fire Department. “We look forward to continuing to work on ways we can partner together.” 
The second major investment made from the Encino Community Partnership Program supports the Carroll County Sheriff’s Department with a $15,000 investment toward a new state-of-the-art unmanned aerial system (UAS). Carroll County Sheriff Dale Williams originally made Encino aware of this need shortly after the county had experienced a series of critical events, where an unmanned aerial system could have significantly aided local first responders’ efforts. Encino was particularly interested in this callto-action after learning that one of the company’s employees was directly impacted by a recent highprofile missing persons fatality. The project was also appealing because the funding was a collaborative effort between the Carroll County Commissioners, the Carroll County Foundation, and several other local entities who also participated in the funding of the project. 
“As I said in my letter to Encino Energy, serving for years as your Sheriff, I felt that this state-of-the-art tool is vital for Carroll County,“ said Sheriff Dale Williams. “This drone will provide much-needed assistance to go where our police officers can’t go and most importantly improve the health and safety of the people we serve. Our community really came together to support this special operation and Encino’s support was a key driver to our fundraising efforts.” 
Encino’s Director of Environment, Health and Safety, Dave Edwards, advised that its newly formed Community Partnership Program is designed to provide investment in long-term, sustainable projects in the areas in which the company has drilling and production operations with an emphasis on environment, health and safety. Carroll and Jefferson Counties are among Encino’s “core assets” where it is actively drilling, completing and producing wells. 
“The protection of our environment, health and safety of the communities in which we live, and work is paramount to Encino’s core values and really is the heart of our Community Partnership Program, “said Dave Edwards. “These two projects are personal to us because we work with first responders on a dayto-day basis and rely on them to support our operations in time of need. The UAS project, of course, really hit home because we saw the value with our own employees living right here in Carroll County. The investments we are making through this program captures the spirit of company’s long-term vision, and we want to do our part to be a good neighbor.”
These investments follow the $25,000 Encino donated in July to assist in the completion of a new playground at Sally Buffalo Park in Cadiz.  It's nice to see the company that took over Chesapeake Energy's Utica acreage reaching out to have a positive impact on local communities.

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
