EQM Midstream’s Mountain Valley Pipeline nears completion
Tuesday, June 16, 2020
EQM Midstream Partners, LP is nearing completion on its Mountain Valley Pipeline project with work about 92% complete, according to Yahoo Finance.
The 303-mile natural gas pipeline is expected to begin full service early next year, despite delays and cost adjustments due to additional regulatory reviews along the way.
Upon completion, the pipeline will move natural gas from the Marcellus and Utica shales in the Appalachian Basin to markets in Virginia and the Carolinas.
The project is currently waiting for the Biological Opinion and a green signal from the FERC. Its cost is expected to rise 5% from its present estimate of $5.4 billion.

Shale FAQ
What are mineral rights?
Mineral rights are the rights of the owner of the property to mine or produce any resources below the surface of the property. Mineral rights are different from surface rights.
Will I get free natural gas if I allow fracking on my property?
Maybe. It depends on your particular lease agreement. Some companies allow property owners a yearly free gas allowance. But, the process of connecting your property to the gas source may be more complicated. Some companies will provide a hookup, others require the landowner to provide one.
