Williams to deliver PennEnergy’s responsibly-sourced natural gas to growing domestic, LNG markets
Friday, August 12, 2022
Williams recently announced its partnership with PennEnergy Resources LLC to market and deliver the company’s responsibly-sourced natural gas from the Appalachian Basin to meet growing demand in the United States and abroad, according to Natural Gas Intelligence.
PennEnergy earned its responsibly-sourced natural gas certification from project Canary on nearly all of its wells in January. The company’s deal with Williams includes 378 production wells in southwest Pennsylvania that have achieved Project Canary’s TrustWell certification.
Williams’ Chad Zamarin, senior vice president of Corporate Strategic Development, said the partnership with PennEnergy builds on the company’s overall strategy to grow the delivery of “next-gen gas” to markets across the United States and overseas.

Shale FAQ
What is fracking?
Fracking is a slang term for hydraulic fracturing. Fracturing is a process by which highly pressurized fluid is pumped thousands of feet into the ground to fracture rock formations. The goal is to release the natural gas that’s locked inside the rock.
Is it safe?
What most concerns people about fracturing is ground water contamination. The worry is that fractures underground, caused by the process, will extending upwards and into aquifers, releasing gas and chemicals into the ground water supply. There’s been no confirmed reports of such a thing happening. Though surface spills and drill site blowouts can lead to localized environmental concerns.
Will my water catch on fire?
Flammable water is caused by the release of methane gas into a drinking water supply. Methane gas occurs naturally and can be released by any kind of drilling, including water wells. In Pennsylvania officials fined Chesapeake Energy $1 million for contaminating ground water with methane. It was determined that the company had not properly cemented it’s boreholes and gas migrated up the well, between rock and into aquifers.
