Gas price rise could boost Texas Panhandle drilling
A near triple increase in interstate natural gas prices to 1.42 per 1000 cubic feet boosts drilling activity in the Texas Panhandle, with no expected cost to local consumers. Industry officials say intrastate buyers like Pioneer Corp and Southern Union Gas should be largely unaffected, though supply may tighten locally. A dissenting commissioner warns the automatic increases could lift the average price to about 1.63. Consumer groups plan legal challenges.
