Only One Well Coming Off Confidential List Today -- September 13, 2019

EVs: it finally dawned on me why the "EV scoreboard" has not been completed.  US auto manufacturers no longer report sales on a monthly basis; I assume that may be true for a few other manufacturers. Not reporting this month:

• Chevrolet
• Ford
• Kia
• Porsche
• Volvo
• Hyundai
• Subaru

EVs: most ridiculous EV sales reports (manufacturers, sales in August):

• Mercedes B250e: 1 -- not a typo -- they sold one. Really? One? 
• BMW 740e: 1. Not a typo. One.
• BMWX5 xDrive 40e: 2. Twice as many as the BWM 740e, but then the BWMX5 xDrive 40e has more than twice the number of letters in its name ...
• BMW 330e: 6.

RBN Energy: upcoming capacity expansions on TC Energy's NGTL system, part 6. Archived.

The options for moving Western Canada’s natural gas supply out of the region are limited. This situation has become more acute in the past few years with the upswing in associated gas production from specific areas within the sprawling region, meaning that not all the takeaway pipelines are created equal in terms of being able to move this incremental gas supply to downstream markets. One pipeline system — TC Energy’s mammoth Nova Gas Transmission Ltd. (NGTL) network — is ideally located to help out, given that big parts of it run through the fastest-growing production areas. But it’s been running full and is increasingly constrained. Will the planned expansions to the NGTL system be enough? Today, we continue our series on the Western Canadian natural gas market with a look at TC Energy’s NGTL network, the largest and most geographically advantaged of the pipeline systems in the region.
