Trump administration pushes for LNG rail shipments
Thursday, October 31, 2019
President Trump’s April 2019 executive order on the transportation of liquefied natural gas (LNG) by rail tank cars, which mandated a federal rule by 2020, has pushed forward a rule-making proposal, according to Kallanish Energy.
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration has proposed LNG rail shipments be allowed in DOT-113 specification refrigerated tank cars. Working with the Federal Railroad Administration, PHMSA filed a 55-page notice of proposed rule-making last Friday.

What are mineral rights?
Mineral rights are the rights of the owner of the property to mine or produce any resources below the surface of the property. Mineral rights are different from surface rights.
Will I get free natural gas if I allow fracking on my property?
Maybe. It depends on your particular lease agreement. Some companies allow property owners a yearly free gas allowance. But, the process of connecting your property to the gas source may be more complicated. Some companies will provide a hookup, others require the landowner to provide one.
