“…1), the Barnett underlies much of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex (DFW), the U.S.'s fourth largest metropolitan area (U.S. Census Bureau, 2011). Since 2000, nearly 15,000 shale gas wells were drilled into the Barnett bringing the total to over 17,000 and making DFW ground zero for urban SGD (RRC, 2013;Fry, 2013).…”

Analysis perspective on environmental (in)justice basis of fracking policy: take a Texas city for example

Adapting a distinction prominent in discussions of science policy, the main points should be applying environmental ethical point for local government's decision making. Shale gas development (SGD) via horisontal drilling and fracking is touted for economic benefits and spurned for health and environmental impacts. Despite SGD's socioeconomically salience, few peer-reviewed, empirical studies document the distribution of positive and negative effects. The City of Denton, Texas has 280 active gas wells and over a decade of SGD. Here we use an environmental justice framework to analyse the distribution of SGD's costs and benefits within Denton. Our results show that Denton's mineral wealth is widely distributed around the USA, residents own 1% of the total value extracted, and the city government is a large financial beneficiary. In addition to distributional inequities, our analysis demonstrates that split estate doctrine, legal deference to mineral owners and SGD's uniqueness in urban centres create disparities in municipal SGD decision-making processes. The environmental justice issues associated with fracking in Denton also provide one possible explanation for residents' November 2014 vote to ban hydraulic fracturing.

“…At the same time, industry research tends to be uncritical in the sense that it seeks to talk up the future prospects for the industry, and often specific regions and projects, to reassure current and potential investors in the supply chain. Within economic geography, there is growing interest in understanding the geographic political economies of natural gas (e.g., Steen and Underthun 2011;Zalik 2011;Fry 2013;Andrews and McCarthy 2014;Bouzarovski, Bradshaw, and Wochnik 2015;Bradshaw, Dutton, and Bridge 2015). To date, however, there has been no systematic effort to analyze the structures and dynamics of the LNG sector and their territorial consequences.…”

Making a Global Gas Market: Territoriality and Production Networks in Liquefied Natural Gas

2017

Energy markets are an important contemporary site of economic globalization. In this article we use a global production network (GPN) approach to examine the evolutionary dynamics of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) sector and its role in an emerging global market for natural gas. We extend recent work in the relational economic geography literature on the organizational practices by which production networks are assembled and sustained over time and space; and we address a significantly underdeveloped aspect of GPN research by demonstrating the implications of these practices for the territoriality of GPNs. The article introduces LNG as a technomaterial reconfiguration of natural gas that enables it to be moved and sold beyond the continental limits of pipelines. We briefly outline the evolving scale and geographic scope of LNG trade, and introduce the network of firms, extraeconomic actors, and intermediaries through which LNG production, distribution, and marketing are coordinated. Our analysis shows how LNG is evolving from a relatively simple floating pipeline model of point-topoint, binational flows orchestrated by producing and consuming companies and governed by longterm contracts, to a more geographic and organizationally complex production network that is constitutive of an emergent global gas market. Empirically the article provides the first systematic analysis within economic geography of the globalization of the LNG sector and its influence on global gas markets, demonstrating the potential of GPN (and related frameworks) to contribute meaningful analysis of the contemporary political economy of energy. Conceptually the article pushes research on GPN to realize more fully its potential as an analysis of network territoriality by examining how the spatial configuration of GPNs emerges from the organizational structures and coordinating strategies of firms, extraeconomic actors and intermediaries; and by recognizing how network territoriality is constitutive of markets rather than merely responsive to them.
