RIGZONE - The Role Of Natural Gas Grows Despite Economics

This is a great postthat reviews the dynamics of the U.S. natural gas industry. What is been coined as U.S. unconventional resources will be the new "normal". In fact the new normal is here to stay, both in the U.S. and abroad.
Oh yeah, and I love charts!

Delek Tamar Gas Field Offshore Israel

This is a real gamechanger for Israel and the energy balance in the Middle East. Put Noble Energy on your watchlist.....there are still a number of hurdles to overcome before this discovery is placed online!

More than 100 years of Reserves for Israel at Leviathan Offshore Energy Today: "More than 100 years of Reserves for Israel at LeviathanPosted on Jun 4th, 2010 with tags $100, Israel:, Leviathan, More, News, Reserves, years.

There are more than 100 years of reserves for Israel at Leviathan.
“Today is a holiday for every citizen of Israel. It’s a day of joy,” Delek Group Ltd. (TASE: DLEKG) controlling shareholder Yitzhak Tshuva said at a conference of Delek subsidiary Israel Phoenix Assurance Ltd., referring to the results of the 2D and 3D seismic surveys of the offshore Leviathan structure.
Tshuva went on to say, “The results indicate that in addition to the gas, there are signs of oil at a greater depth. We have turned Israel into a great energy power.”
Tshuva said, “Israel is energy independent. The results of the survey are very important; they are above and beyond. They mean that the future potential of Leviathan is more than double the Tamar discovery.”
Tshuva added, “There are more than 100 years of reserves for Israel at Leviathan. Far more than the gas found before. Israel is completely energy independent. Thanks to the discovery, Israel will become a player in the global energy market, and will supply energy to many other countries.” He said that the Israel will become a gas exporter.
Tshuva said that the Leviathan gas discovery was a national event. “The results will strengthen Israel’s economy and guarantee its soundness. In today’s hard times, Israel needs strengthening against the world.”"

Weekly Gas Storage


Here we go...the start of the gas withdrawal season.
We're still above the 5 year average of 3,467 BCF at 3,814 BCF.
My guess is that we are a long way from a TCF in storage with the fervor of activity in the Eagleford, Haynesville, and Fayetteville shales. No droppoff of activity here even with oil trading at 20x the gas price.
