Edge LNG to capture and liquify gas from stranded Marcellus well
Friday, June 12, 2020
EXCO Resources has selected Edge LNG to capture and liquefy natural gas from a stranded Marcellus Shale well, according to World Oil.
Edge LNG will have its mobile LNG equipment delivered by truck to the Marcellus site. The company will then produce the LNG and purchase it from EXCO Resources.
Next, the LNG will be sold and delivered to customers in the northeast region via Edge’s truck-based virtual pipeline, where it will be used to provide natural gas to homes and businesses.
Initial operations are underway and expected to continue through 2022.

Shale FAQ
What is fracking?
Fracking is a slang term for hydraulic fracturing. Fracturing is a process by which highly pressurized fluid is pumped thousands of feet into the ground to fracture rock formations. The goal is to release the natural gas that’s locked inside the rock.
Is it safe?
What most concerns people about fracturing is ground water contamination. The worry is that fractures underground, caused by the process, will extending upwards and into aquifers, releasing gas and chemicals into the ground water supply. There’s been no confirmed reports of such a thing happening. Though surface spills and drill site blowouts can lead to localized environmental concerns.
Will my water catch on fire?
Flammable water is caused by the release of methane gas into a drinking water supply. Methane gas occurs naturally and can be released by any kind of drilling, including water wells. In Pennsylvania officials fined Chesapeake Energy $1 million for contaminating ground water with methane. It was determined that the company had not properly cemented it’s boreholes and gas migrated up the well, between rock and into aquifers.
