Gas Prices Dip to $1.87 per Gallon in East El Paso

Putting gas in car

With the summer driving season well underway, CEA’s Brydon Ross discusses how increased oil production in the United States is benefiting families at the gas pump.

“It’s a fun time for (gasoline) consumers, who are reaping the benefits of a lot of market forces” — most notably that oil production in the United States has revved up in recent years due to technological advances in oil drilling, which has produced an abundant supply of oil, said Brydon Ross, an energy expert for the Consumer Energy Alliance, a Houston-based organization that provides information about energy issues to energy consumers, ranging from individuals to large corporations.

Pipeline and shutoff valves

CEA’s recent pipeline study was featured by CEPI.

Everyday, pipeline infrastructure systems provide Americans across the country with reliable access to the energy resources they need. But just what would that system look like without the proper maintenance that keeps the system running smoothly? Consumer Energy Alliance set out to answer that question in a recent study titled “Families, Communities and Finances: The Consequences of Denying Critical Pipeline Infrastructure.”

Rigzone recently interviewed CEA’s Brydon Ross to discuss energy infrastructure in New England and how to address the knowledge gap that exists.

“The truth is, as this polling shows, people recognize the need for pipelines and support the maintenance and expansion of our energy infrastructure,” Brydon Ross, CEA’s vice president for state affairs, told Rigzone. “The region needs additional supply to help alleviate issues on high demand days and address the area’s exorbitant residential and industrial electricity costs – which are the highest in the continental U.S.”

Consumer Energy Alliance Welcomes Offshore Energy Announcement

Offshore oil rig at sunset

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the U.S. Interior Department launched the development of a new leasing program for the nation’s offshore oil and natural gas resources. Following the announcement, Consumer Energy Alliance (CEA) President David Holt released the following statement:

“Any successful plan to secure our long-term energy and economic future must include adequate access to the nation’s federal waters. For too long, artificially-imposed federal barriers have needlessly limited domestic energy projects that would create jobs, grow the economy, enhance our national security and provide price relief to American families, especially those struggling to make ends meet and living on fixed incomes. That is why today’s action is welcome news to families and businesses across America who depend on affordable and reliable energy. “CEA applauds the new approach and the significant steps being taken by the federal government to reevaluate these unnecessary barriers and enhance the nation’s role as an energy leader. CEA looks forward to engaging with families, businesses and communities across the country as a new offshore program is developed.”

Marathon Completes 50-mile Pipeline in Northwestern Ohio

For generations, Americans have relied on pipelines to deliver energy supplies across our country, and a lot has changed.  New technologies and maintenance programs have consistently improved the safety of our infrastructure – all of which have been implemented in the latest pipeline designed to supply fuel to 10 Midwest refineries.

The pipeline, known as Harpster-Lima, passed several tests during its commissioning. The line was tested with water under high pressure, welds were X-rayed, and a “smart tool” checked the length of the pipe for dents or corrosion.

The pipeline will be controlled from MPLX’s Findlay headquarters, and will be monitored constantly for pressure and flow rate, with real-time leak protection and aerial surveillance.
