Blog Watching, Week ending December 21 2014


LNG items once again proved to be a popular topic for the past week of blog reviews, with four items related to potential LNG development in the region gaining the most attention from our readers.

Some background regarding an agreement between Pacific NorthWest LNG and the District of Port Edward leads off the interest of the week, with news of a similar agreement from the company with representatives of the Metlakatla Governing Council, also gaining attention over the last few days.

Our notes on the recent moves of Australia's Woodside Energy and its interest in a Kitimat project also found a good review, as did our examination of the impact of Oil prices and Politics in Malaysia fon the deliberations for Petronas when it comes to their Lelu Island project.

Also capturing the attention of blog readers was Prince Rupert's placement in a study of the Best Places to Work in BC, that review also attracted a large volume of readers, bringing our top five review to an end.

Leading it all off this week, a significant financial deal for Port Edward and Pacific NorthWest LNG.
