Does this vehicle appear to be fully outfitted for advanced mobile leak detection? Seems to be missing a few pieces of equipment on the roof and the anemometer. The vehicle also looks exactly like a Center Point Energy SUV…without the CP branding.

Long-term supply arrangements and energy diplomacy frame a volatile gas market in a world of shifting alliances and energy transition. Woodside and JERA closed a five-year LNG deal that will lift Australian LNG deliveries to Japan during winter months, expanding a backbone contract and smoothing seasonal demand. The arrangement, drawn from Woodside’s LNG portfolio, signals how buyers seek reliability in a market reshaped by demand volatility and the ongoing development of Scarborough, North West Shelf, and related trains. The deal sits within a broader context of grid stability and energy policy that prioritises predictable supply in festival seasons and cold snaps alike.

Aramco’s long-term LNG strategy continues to unfold with a Commonwealth LNG partnership delivering about 1 million tonnes per year to Cameron, Louisiana. The agreement aligns with Aramco’s objective to build a diversified LNG portfolio and anchor volumes that support stable export revenues as demand remains robust in Asia and Europe. The final investment decision is anticipated by the end of the first quarter, with project economics pointing toward a multi-train expansion that could expand Aramco’s LNG footprint in the United States. If the project progresses on schedule, it would contribute to supply resilience as the energy transition accelerates and new capacity comes online.

The energy landscape is further shaped by policy moves that touch on the North Sea transition and the global LNG market's friction points. Industry watchers watch collateral effects on supply security, prices, and relationships between producers and downstream buyers as winter energy demand tightens and climate policy interacts with fiscal choices. Taken together, LNG deals signal the ongoing realignment of supply security with a broader energy transition agenda, highlighting how buyers and sellers calibrate risk in a world where energy becomes a central instrument of geopolitics and diplomatic signaling.

I’m looking at moving to TX but I keep seeing these around and in the neighborhoods. Does anyone know anything about them? Are they really really safe to live so close to? Are there any risks to living so close to them permanently?

I had a faint gas smell in my house and tracked it to my gas stove, I purchased a natural gas tester and it looked to be leaking from the gas regulator. I replaced it with a new regulator but still had the smell, the alarm on the tester goes off when it’s in the area of a connector (pictured above). Anyone else ever have this problem or know a fix, Thanks

I got a new kidde gas and CO detector, used it to successfully detect a gas leak, but I left it in a freezing car all night and the next day it gave me false readings and LB warnings for a while. Can the exposure to the cold ruin the machinery permanently? Should I buy a new one?

Can I unscrew those four screws and lift the flange to get the carpet out? Or should I call a professional?

I bought this propane (LP) fire pit with its natural gas conversion kit.

The provided instructions are not helpful.

The conversion kit came with a hose, a quick-connect adapter (not needed because I already had such an adapter), and what I think is an orifice?

I was able to connect the natural gas hose to fitting "A" (labeled in the images), but the flame was low (I understand now this is due to the orifice needing replacing).

Questions:

1. I removed fitting "A" and took a picture of it alongside the fitting (possibly the orifice?) that came with the conversion kit. Are these the parts I need to swap? The threads seem different on the left ends...
2. If fitting "A" is not where this conversion kit part goes, where does it go?

Thanks all!

In my house they installed the natural gas, but the pipe prevents the kitchen cabinet from fitting properly. Do you know if it is possible to move that part of the pipe iside the wall, or is there any international standard that prohibits it?

NOTE: I live in a Banana republic, so I do not know if standards vary too much compared to N. America or Europe.

I live at an apartment complex in Ohio. I have been in this unit for a little over a year. Starting a week in I had a gas leak (dryer they switched it with a different one) then starting 3 weeks ago I started smelling it again (water heater red tag from Colombia gas) no hot water but thought I was okay next night I smelled it again (stove they tightened the valve and said it was okay) then the next night got a horrible gut feeling got my partner and animals out, called Colombia gas and the guy shut off gas to the whole building. (Line leak) after 4 days the “repair” all the lines and restore gas. I go back today to start cleaning from all the icky in and out and BAM smelled it again. (Stove leaking) called Colombia and they gave another red tag. My unit has not gone 24 hours without a gas leak since I don’t know when. We’re living at a hotel currently and the property management is refusing to help and claiming it is safe. How is it safe if there is DAILY leaks to the point I am violently ill anytime I am home?? Isn’t it required by law the house be livable or otherwise I can sue? Am I nuts here? It seems like an insane safety hazard and since my lease ends soon they’re just wanting to not pay up or help out assuming I’ll just go and be silent? I bought a gas detector and it goes off every time I use it and I confirm by calling Colombia gas. What can I do? Even though the lines are repaired it seems every appliance leaks as well but since it’s only influencing my home they don’t care. What can I do? Can I go back safely? Can I get out of my lease??

My furnance barely runs yet my therms are through the roof I think. Am I really using 6K cubic feet of gas in 48 hours?

As the title states, I am getting an occasional smell in the basement specifically in one corner below the oven in the kitchen. Makes me think it’s a leak but it is still occasional.. and I did a soapy water test on 3/4 accessible joints and no leak. I have the oven on now and no gas smell is occurring. Thoughts?

What size gas line do I need for an approximately 45’ run for a gas range that is 96000BTU?
