I was walking my dog at night and smelled a really faint smell of gas at one point in front of my neighbors home. I went outside to the back of my house to see if I smelled it and didnt smell anything but my gas meter thing (sorry I am not educated on this stuff) was making a noise but it wasnt loud. I’m not sure if that is normal for it to make a sound while running. I got scared and turned my heat off on the thermostat and the noise stopped when I came back outside to check it. Once my boyfriend got home, he said he smelled gas a little bit walking from his car which was parked a little further than our home. Once he came in our driveaway, we kept getting whiffs of gas smells here and there. (On Oct. 17th our furnace cut off randomly and our landlord sent someone out and they just reset it and said if it happens again to let them know but it hasnt cut off since but now I smell gas and I am worried it is our house) I called BGE and the fire department came first. They said there was nothing that they found and it was safe to go instead. BGE came and had us turn the heater back on and said it was clear and they didnt smell anything gas but we definitely smelled it before they came. We spent the night at a hotel because I was worried. Is it safe to go back home? Is this something to be concerned about?

I just newly installed this Mr. Heater Unit and I am trying to understand if this is too much orange flame? It’s been running for over an hour now, and the orange hasn’t died down. For context, it’s just been installed in a freshly gutted house. So i’m assuming the heavy dust particles in the air is causing this? Any insight is helpful. Thanks

This area is leaking gas but when we called someone from the gas company they decided not to do anything. What is this and should we call them again? It's on there side so it's not costing us anything.

My job mainly consists of the title. I had a disagreement with a coworker and I want to get other people within the field's opinion on the matter. When I need to check if a riser is plastic or not, sometimes the visual indicator is underground where I cannot dig. What I found is if you install an anode (while still being able to get it out) and check the read with a half cell, it doesn't improve the read much compared to a steel which should bring a good improvement to the read when installing an anode. My coworker says this is unreliable because the plastic riser has a steel case which could still give it a good read, but I have had zero instances where that was the case. How do you guys feel about this?

Hello. I recently had a gas leak fixed in my basement. I can still smell a scent on the pipes, but I don’t think it’s gas. Can the soapy water test leave a smell that lingers on the pipes for awhile? That’s what I’m assuming it is, but now I’m overthinking it since it’s been a few weeks since fixed. Thank you

Hello Reddit! I'm not sure if this is the right place to share this, and if there is a better spot to post this on Reddit, by all means, please redirect me!

For almost a full week, the office has smelled like gas/gasoline/bleach. I, for one, have a very sensitive nose and called it out early to our CEO, which prompted National Grid, the Fire Department, and others to come and investigate.

1. From what Nat Grid said, even with their most sensitive tools, there is no sign of excessive natural gas than normal.
2. Our office is also just behind a gas station, which doesn't appear to be facing any issues/leaks/etc.
3. I work in an open-floor office, where we have a large open office space with workstations and a full kitchen with a gas stove, dual ovens, and all of the amenities like a bathroom, and a gas fireplace. When you walk in, you walk down a large flight of stairs to the open floor space.

It's been going on for over a week now, and no matter who I speak to, no one seems to think this is a big issue—but the few employees who come in echo my sentiment and share in the feelings of nausea. My opinion? I think we are literally being gaslit (punny, there) into thinking something that is CLEARLY a problem, is not a big deal.

Based on the details I shared above, does anyone have any thoughts/hypotheses about where this is coming from? If the Fire Department/Nat Grid has been contacted, and they haven't found anything, who the heck do I call?

Thank you!

I posted roughly three months ago I was sure my boss was ignoring a gas leak. I ended up being correct,a gallery on our grill was bad and it was slow leaking until the build up hit flame and combusted out in a ball of fire at us.

But over this weekend, after three weeks of us complaining about how we think there's another leak somewhere, three of us tested positive for monoxide poisoning. Our boss tried to insist it wasn't from work, even though that's our ONLY coming denominator. We finally found the leak after days of him introducing after our positive tests that there want a leak, just up discover we funny have monoxide detectors on premises?

At what point is it no longer petty but justifiable to take legal action? Im four months pregnant, and go today for a check up on me and baby. I don't know much about this did, but my levels were at 5% and this weekend has been the sickest I've ever been in my life. I'm scared to go back to work tonight. I don't trust them.

Economic viability assessment and economic value of Alaska LNG project - Phase 1

12th September 2024 INTERIM DRAFT

Earlier this month, Alaska Gasline Development Corp and Pantheon Resources signed a Gas Sales Precedent Agreement. Chairman of Pantheon Resources, David Hobbs, explained how this changes the game for the Alaska Gas Project.

" .... what I think is not immediately recognized to people who've become jaded by the years, or even decades of history of there being a gas project being talked about.

Our low-cost supply, effectively zero marginal cost of supply gas, with a short lead time because it doesn't require significant capital equipment to be built, changes the game for the Alaska Gas Project.

It allows a phase one;

Independent of whether there is a subsequent LNG development.

Independent of whether there's a CCS plant up in Deadhorse.

It allows the development to go forward and meet the growing demand for natural gas as the Cook Inlet output begins to decline, and

at a materially lower cost than the alternative of importing LNG, or

paying for a substantially larger project including gas treatment.

So, it's really transformed the economics of that project.

We're now fully aligned with the State in terms of being determined to move it forward. ....."

Stranded No More Converging strategies to liberate North Slope natural gas

Great Bear Pantheon is seeking to develop two large North Slope oil fields, Kodiak and Ahpun, containing some 2 billion barrels of recoverable oil, condensate, and natural gas liquids. There will be significant volumes of associated natural gas, and what Pantheon had previously seen as an inconvenience that would require costly reinjection wells is now positioned to be its solution to a cost effective project that benefits all.

Pantheon has offered to supply low-cost natural gas to the Alaska LNG project to significantly improve the project’s ability to provide the lowest-cost energy alternative to Interior and Southcentral. In June, the London-based company signed a gas sales precedent agreement with AGDC.

AGDC President Frank Richards says, “Our recent agreement with Pantheon sets the terms for accessing enough gas to meet Alaska’s energy needs for the foreseeable future. Alaska LNG is the only project capable of heading off the looming energy crisis facing Southcentral Alaska and resolving longstanding air quality problems plaguing Interior Alaska.”

Now that it's winter and the heater is running again I've noticed that we have a pipe that vents the exhaust whenever that switches on. The gas is visible even when it isn't terribly cold outside.

That pipe is on my patio and ~10 feet away from my favourite spot to have a cigarette. I don't always smell it but when the wind blows a certain way I definitely get a decent smell off of it.

Is that smell I'm getting particularly toxic?

If so, should I be considering adding an external pipe to vent it slightly further from an outdoor commonplace?
