Director's Cut Is Scheduled To Be Released Later This Afternoon -- July 13, 2018

Ya gotta love it: in addition to all the money it has already received, the new Williston airport gets more federal funding. The link to the project / XWA is here.

The U.S. Department of Transportation has announced $13.1 million in funding to support construction of the new Williston Basin International Airport. 

That is in addition to the $83.9 million the FAA has already awarded to the project. The total commitment is $112 million. 

The schedule calls for completing the runway, taxiway and terminal building in 2019, as well as other construction needed to open the airport.

The runway and taxiway projects are still on schedule, according to a June airport update that the city released online.

RBN Energy: Part 2, how US demand is factoring into the 2018 gas storage injection season.

Lower 48 dry gas production has climbed 3 Bcf/d since April to nearly 82 Bcf/d this month to date, which is an average ~9 Bcf/d — or 12% — higher year-on-year. Despite that meteoric rise in supply, the U.S. gas storage inventory, which started the injection season well below year-ago and five-year average levels, continues to carry a substantial deficit. That’s because record demand volumes thus far have managed to keep storage injections in check. Today, we provide an update of the demand factors affecting the 2018 gas injection season.
