DOE’s October RFP from the Emergency Exchange Program from the SPR has been awarded in two groups.

Happy Tuesday!  Hope you were able to stay out of the rain this afternoon.  Let’s get started.

You know we like to keep up with the happenings at the Department of Energy’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR).  We have blogged on several of their strategic releases this year and their respective parties whose exchange offers were accepted.  Well, looks like the Request for Proposal (RFP) which closed earlier in October has been awarded.  Let’s dig in. 

Did anyone happen to read the U.S. Department of Energy’s Hydrocarbon and Geothermal Energy Office Release on October 29, 2026, their announcement, “Energy Department Awards Contracts From The Strategic Petroleum Reserve As Part Of President Trump’s Emergency Exchange”?  In the announcement, it goes on to speak on how the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently published awardees for their Request for Proposal (RFP) from the Emergency Exchange Program for crude oil which closed earlier in October, and the current group have been awarded contracts for over 16-million barrels.   The SPR site the oil will be released from is either Big Hill or Bryan Mound and delivery will be arranged at a future date.   Some of the awardees are Gunvor USA, Macquarie Commodities Trading US, Phillips 66 Company, Trafigura Trading LLC and Vitol, Inc.  There were contracts awarded earlier in October for over 23-million barrels, and some of the companies include ExxonMobil Oil Corporation, and Energy Transfer Crude Marketing.  The two award groups have exhausted the RFP from earlier in October and the DOE has honored their word of releasing 172-million barrels of crude oil since the inception of the US-Iran War.   We will keep you posted on anything interesting we hear out of the DOE and the SPR.  If you would like to read more of the Announcement from the U.S. DOE’s Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office, please click the link: Energy Department Awards Contracts from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve as Part ofPresident Trump’s Emergency Exchange.

If you would like to see the companies who were awarded the contracts; see FY27 SPR Oil Release No. 1 Award Information and FY26 SPR Oil Release No. 4 Award Information.

KMI and its affiliates are moving forward on two key projects.

Happy Wednesday!

Did anyone happen to read the Oil & Gas Journal’s LNG & Transportation Report on October 28, 2026, their article titled, “Kinder Morgan takes FID on Southeast Connector, Permian Link natural gas pipelines”?   The article goes on to speak on how Kinder Morgan Inc. (KMI) and its affiliates: Southern Natural Gas (SNG) and Natural Gas Pipeline Co. of American (NGPL) have made their final investment decision and are moving forward with their Southeast Connector and Permian Link natural gas pipeline ventures; now they have made take-or-pay transportation agreements.  SNG’s pipeline venture Southeast Connector will be approximately 470 miles long and will be designed to carry 2.6 bcfd of natural gas with initial phase expected to be operational the end of 2030 and the cost is expected to be over $3 billion.  NGPL’s pipeline venture Permian Link will be approximately 434-miles long and will be designed to carry 2.8 bcc’d of natural gas with the pipeline expected to be operational Fall 2030, and cost is expected to be over $4.2 billion with KMI’s share is expected to be $1.6 billion.  The article went on to speak on KMI’s Creekside Lateral venture which has be authorized to proceed into its second and third phases with its earlier phase expected to begin operations by the end of this year, and the later phases expected to be operational by the end of next year.  SNG and Tennessee Gas Pipeline (TPG) have made their FID for Bear Creek Storage expansion project and will be moving forward and the project is anticipated to be operational Spring 2029.  All above projects timelines are dependent on attaining all government consents and authorizations.  

The article has updates on two KMI’s projects along the Houston Ship Channel. KMI’s Pasadena Terminal has a $139-million project in the works connecting to a local refinery and it is on track with easements and governmental authorizations, and it is anticipated to be operational in the Fall 2027.   The second project, KMI’s Kinder Morgan Export Terminal expansion project is expected to cost $30 million, and it is anticipated to be online early next year.

DOE has approved emergency exchange for a Louisiana refinery.

Happy Tuesday!  Hope you were able to stay out of the rain this afternoon and enjoy a bit of the cool weather.  Let’s get started.

You know we like to keep up with the happenings at the Department of Energy’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR).  We have blogged on several of their strategic releases this year and their respective parties whose exchange offers were accepted.  The SPR should be 25% ahead once the oil is returned next year. The last couple RFPs the administration has been a been quiet on whose offers they have accepted, nonetheless looks like someone is getting an exchange.    Let’s dig in. 

Did anyone happen to read the U.S. Department of Energy’s Hydrocarbon and Geothermal Energy Office Release on October 23, 2026, their announcement, “Energy Department Authorizes Strategic Petroleum Reserve Exchange to Support Fuel Supply Stability”?  In the announcement, it goes on to speak on how the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has approved no more than 400,000 barrels from their emergency exchange program to Phillips 66 Lake Charles Refinery in Louisiana.  The crude will be delivered from the West Hackberry Strategic Petroleum Reserve which holds sweet and sour crude, and it is located in Louisiana.  It is unknown if this is crude oil part of one of the last two Requests for Proposals (RFP) which closed in October.  The reason for the exchange is to help lower and ease prices for Americans in the region.  Phillips 66 should have a year to return the barrels with additional oil.  We will keep you posted on anything interesting we hear out of the DOE and the SPR.  If you would like to read more of the Announcement from the U.S. DOE’s Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office, please click the link: Energy Department Authorizes Strategic Petroleum Reserve Exchange to Support Fuel Supply Stability.

Update: NSMV I ‘Empire State VII’ will be returning home next month.

Happy Monday!  Welcome back to another week of ESC News Blog.  We hope you enjoyed the lovely weather over the weekend!  Let’s get started. 

We love to write about things which connect to our previous blogs, and U.S. Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration’s (MARAD) National Security Multi-Mission Vessel (NSMV) Program has been in our Blog for several years now with them delivering new vessels to our Maritime Academies around the U.S.  Well, back in September the Suny Maritime College’s MARAD vessel ‘Empire State VII’ was called into active duty, see our blog for details.  Looks like MARAD had a change of heart.  Let’s dig in.

Did anyone happen to read gCaptain Daily Newsletter on October 24, 2026, their article titled, “Empire State VII to Return to New York After Months-Long Navy Mission Plans Scrapped”?  The article speaks in regard to the first completed NSMV ‘Empire State VII’ who docked at the SUNY Maritime College at the State University of New York which had been called to active duty back in August 2026 by U.S. Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration’s (MARAD) for a classified mission, and the vessel was called up at the request of the Military Sealift Command through the U.S. Fleet Forces Command.  The academy prepared the NSMV for its mission and it cast away on the last day of September for Norfolk where it was to have maintenance and flight deck certification prior to its mission.  Well, the 170-day mission is a bust and at the end of the week the vessel will be released from duty with its certifications.  Empire State VII will be heading home to SUNY Maritime College (Fort Schuyler) and it is expected to arrive by mid-November.  This is a relief to the academy and its students who rely on the vessel to aid in their maritime education, especially those cadets who were expecting to have their 2027 Summer Sea Term next year.  We hope the NSMV ‘Empire State VII’ has a safe journey and it arrives home ready educate our future mariners. If we hear anything else on this NSMV Program and its vessels, we will let you know.  If you would like to read more of gCaptain’s article, please click the link: Empire State VII to Return to New York After Months-Long Navy Mission Plans Scrapped.

A US Agency has proposed to streamline LNG permits.

Happy Thursday!

We have over the past couple years have blogged on the happenings of the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), especially when it has involved oil and gas along the Gulf Coast.  We have blogged on who they have been approving for some big projects in the oil and gas industry, see our latest approval in July 2026.  Well, looks like changes are coming to FERC to help with speeding up approvals for LNG ventures.  Let’s dig in.  

Did anyone happen to read the Oil & Gas Journal’s OGJ Daily Update Newsletter on October 19, 2026, their article titled, “FERC proposes faster LNG approvals, changes pipeline air reviews”?   The article goes on to speak on how the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) last week recommended changes on how they will approve specific LNG facility projects and how they are trying to change air review for LNG projects.  The agency has agreed they want to have comprehensive approvals for specific types of LNG projects based on their decades used blanket certificate program for interstate natural gas pipelines, as well as changing monetary limits tied to the project.   The program will have three-level structure which LNG project proponents could use to get their LNG infrastructure approvals after a 90-day notice and protest period.  This type of infrastructure change would be qualified even if the plan has them outside of their current developed area but less than 25 acres of formerly improved areas in industrial region.   The project would be obliged to use current or improved equipment which was on their previous authorizations.  Another level is if the venture only wanted to scale up operations with no additional equipment and staying within existing paraments would only need a 60-day notice period.  The last level of actions like replacing old equipment would be eligible for approvals with no notifications and reporting in semi-annual report as long as they aren’t going beyond original approved limits, site area or surpassing equipment operational maximums.  FERC has published this proposal in the Federal Register, and the stakeholder comment period is 60 days. 

On another note: FERC has suggested changes to a policy on how they look as air emission impacts of certain oil and gas activities which fall under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).  They are suggesting they would no longer make ventures present air-dispersion modeling, and this would not be used in NEPA reviews of air emission impacts. FERC’s reasoning is due to other federal and state agencies evaluate these under the Clean Air Act and feel venture representatives will notify them of potential issues.  In a nutshell they want to stay in their lane instead of going over the lane into another agency’s purview.  FERC published in the Federal Registry and there is a comment period until November 16, 2026.  

Lastly, the article said had an update on Woodside Louisiana’s LNG facility.  FERC amended Woodside’s Louisiana’s LNG authorization to include a tie-in and meter station to connect to Kinder Morgan Louisiana’s interstate natural gas transmission system. The plant is currently being built in Louisiana and is over a quarter way built in phase 1, the plant is expected to be operational before the end of the decade.  We will let you know, if we hear anything else from FERC and its proposed changes.  If you would like to read more of the Oil & Gas Journal’s article, please click the link FERC proposes faster LNG approvals, changes pipeline air reviews | Oil & Gas Journal.

DOE has opened an RFP for emergency exchange from the NHHOR.

Happy Wednesday!

You know we like to keep up with the happenings at the Department of Energy’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) and other American assets.  We blogged earlier this month on the sixth RFP which closed on October 6, 2026, and so far, no word on the outcome; see our Blog in mid-September.  Well, the DOE has another American asset offering to help with lowering prices prior to the midterm elections, and it is the Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve (NHHOR).  NHHOR has four sites around the northeast United States which store approximately one-million barrels of heating oil for when there are issues with supplies.   Well, looks like the DOE is issuing an RFP for an exchange of heating oil like they have been doing with SPR and its crude oil.  Let’s dig in. 

Did anyone happen to read the U.S. Department of Energy’s Hydrocarbon and Geothermal Energy Office Release on October 21, 2026, their announcement, “Energy Department Authorizes Exchange from Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve”?  In the announcement, it goes on to speak on how the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently published a notice for Request for Proposal (RFP) for an emergency exchange for approximately 315,000 barrels of ultra-low sulfur heating oil from the Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve (NHHOR) from either the South Portland, Maine; Boston, Massachusetts; or New Haven, Connecticut sites and the heating oil is to be delivered by mid-November.  If you are interested in this RFP, the deadline is morning of October 27, 2026; please see NHHOR’s RFP for specifics.  The parties’ whose proposals are accepted have about a year to return the barrels with additional heating oil.  We will keep you posted on anything interesting we hear out of the DOE and the NHHOR.  If you would like to read more of the Announcement from the U.S. DOE’s Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office, please click the link: Energy Department Authorizes Exchange from Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve.
