And US Gas Demand & LNG Delays
Good morning, here's what the OilPatch Team has for you today:

U.S. Gas Demand Falls on LNG Delays
Natural gas demand in the U.S. last year dipped lower.
It sounds absurd but there you have it.
The reason behind the dip were delays in new LNG terminal construction.

So years later, when he dropped out of college, he had three days’ wages on him.
But “Diamond Glenn” had savings.
He put these into drilling with his dad and brother. It took him two years to strike oil. Over a decade between 1932 and 1942, he made 38 discoveries.
It was truly the golden age of oil.
Happy Birthday to the late Glenn McCarthy, out of Beaumont, Texas; American Oil Tycoon; The media often referred to him as “Diamond Glenn ” and “The King of the Wildcatters.” McCarthy was an oil prospector and entrepreneur who owned many businesses in various sectors of the… x.com/i/web/status/1…
