Keystone Energy Forum

Profits for the biggest U.S. energy producers including Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) are poised to decline the most since the financial meltdown of 2008-09 as the drilling technique known as fracking collapses natural gas prices.

There is no oil and gas production in Idaho, but that doesn't mean the U.S. energy boom has bypassed this bedroom community west of Boise.

Low natural gas prices aren't bad for everyone. A few other industries are seeing enormous boosts with cheap, readily available natural gas.

Forbes sets the record straight with facts about fracking, not playing on emotion like many of the frac-tivists do.

For the third year in a row energy played a central role in President Obama's State of the Union address, with the president leaning hard this year on the twin themes of increased domestic oil and gas production and the need to invest more in renewable sources.

Encana, the second largest natural gas producer in the United States, questions the results of a recent EPA report linking natural gas development with contaminated water in the tiny hamlet of Pavillion, Wyoming.

A decision by President Barack Obama to delay the approval of a pipeline that would take oil from Canada and the northern U.S. to the Gulf of Mexico caused Welspun Corp. Ltd. to lay off about 60 workers at its Little Rock facility.

Fracking in Pavillion, Wyoming, differs from the majority of fracking wells: geological characteristics, shallower wells, vertical fracking and the proximity of fracking activities to the drinking-water aquifer. So, EPA claims may of polluted water do not necessarily apply to most states who are using hydraulic fracturing.

Senate Republicans introduced a bill that would require the Secretary of State to issue a U.S. permit for the Keystone XL pipeline within 60 days. This still "provides adequate time for Nebraska to shift the route of the pipeline" while allowing construction to begin elsewhere.

The Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday released the outlines of its long-awaited probe into whether hydraulic fracturing - the unconventional drilling technique that's led to a boom in domestic natural gas production - is contaminating drinking-water supplies.
