States target hydraulic fracturing with bans, fines

As the North American natural gas boom continues, state legislators across the country have targeted hydraulic fracturing for new regulations, proposing a range of 50 bills involving bans, moratoriums and increased disclosure requirements, according to a new Colorado State University study.

Much of the new legislation tries to address issues such as water use, air and water quality monitoring and fluids disclosure, as many non-industrial communities grapple with the impacts of hydraulic fracturing and the changes it brings.

For example, Illinois passed new rules in May requiring drillers to publicly disclose the chemicals they use, and on water testing.

And while hydraulic fracturing has existed for more than 50 years in parts of the country, such as Texas, the bulk of the new state rules are coming from the East Coast, where the shale boom has led to a new surge of oil and gas activity.

“Bans are clustered on the northern seaboard,” wrote Colorado State University’s Center on the New Energy Economy.

For example, New York State has introduced 10 new bills – the largest number of any state – as environmental concerns led New York legislators to extend the state’s moratorium on the practice until 2015.

Federal regulators have also begun to develop plans for increased natural gas regulation. The Obama administration introduced a new plan in May to tighten standards for drilling on public lands, including more rigorous chemical disclosure requirements.

The proposal would be the first major federal rule governing hydraulic fracturing but would apply only to U.S. land under the Interior Department’s control.

State lawmakers also have tried to address growing concerns about surface and mineral rights, introducing 50 bills in 2013 that made proposals regarding notification periods before drilling, post-drilling property restoration and setback or right-of-way property restrictions, the Center report said.

Concern over how natural gas drilling impacts local communities was another hot topic, with 30 new pieces of legislation introduced to address it. Issues such as permitting and zoning ordinances, requirements for safety monitoring devices and regulations on underground storage have been the focus on these proposed rules.

Additional bills have sought to provide revenue for local infrastructure and social program needs.

An additional 33 bills have targeted taxation issues, most of which address severance or production issues.

“States seek to strike a balance between attracting development and maintaining funding for a variety of programs,” the Center wrote.

Kinder Morgan launches business to invest in coal

Kinder Morgan Energy Partners has launched a new business to invest in coal and other mineral reserves.

Kinder Morgan Resources won’t actively mine coal or other natural resources, according to the company, but will lease the properties to operators in exchange for royalty payments.

Richard M. Whiting, whose previous experience includes stints as president and CEO of Patriot Coal Corporation and chief marketing officer of Peabody Energy Corporation, will serve as president of Kinder Morgan Resources.

The new business should expand Kinder Morgan’s presence among mineral producers and grow its terminal business, said Mark Reichman, an analyst with Simmons and Co. But he predicted it will start out relatively small.

“I think this would be a venture that would be put in place to feed the terminaling business, not really so much to be a stand-alone coal or minerals royalty business,” he said.

The new business will operate within the fast-growing Kinder Morgan Terminals, which has more than 180 terminals that store petroleum products and chemicals, as well as handling materials including coal, petroleum coke and steel products.

John Schlosser, president of the terminals business, said the new business platform will expand the services available to customers in the coal and other mining industries.

Schlosser said in a written statement that the company has more than $450 million in coal terminals expansion projects underway.

“Rick Whiting has extensive commercial and operating experience and is highly regarded in the coal industry, and we are delighted he has joined KMP to oversee our new endeavor,” he said.

Kinder Morgan has not said when it expects to make the first acquisition, or how much it expects to spend.

Company spokesman Joe Hollier said it will start with coal projects, but the new company won’t be limited to coal.

Reichman noted that Kinder Morgan Chairman and CEO Richard Kinder said during the company’s annual investor’s conference in January that the company had encouraged its management teams to explore new sources of growth.

Reichman said the company’s terminals business handled about 38 million tons of coal in 2012, along with 11.6 tons of petroleum coke and 4.4 tons of soda ash, among other commodities.

Kinder Morgan Resources will consider owning, leasing and acquiring reserves for those and other minerals, to be produced by other operators, according to the company.

Reichman said Kinder Morgan will try to avoid exposure to fluctuating commodity prices by structuring leases to require a minimum payment, with a fluctuating royalty rate above that.

“It’s not going to drive earnings,” he said. “It’s really to support growth in the terminaling business.”

The new business is the latest expansion for Houston-based Kinder Morgan, which is the nation’s largest midstream company and operates about 80,000 miles of pipelines to transport natural gas, gasoline, crude oil and carbon dioxide.
