Mountaineer Xpress pipeline will transport Utica and Marcellus natural gas
Monday, September 28, 2015
Columbia Pipeline is looking to move gas from the Utica and Marcellus shale plays in Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia, Columbus Business First reports.
The Mountaineer Xpress pipeline project would cost $2 billion and could be completed and online by November 2018. In 2017, construction on 171 miles of pipeline and three compressor stations could begin, as well as modifications to existing compressor stations.
The pipeline will be built from Marshall County, West Virginia, to Cabell County, West Virginia. The pipeline’s transmission system could transport 2.7 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day.
In July 2015, NiSource Inc. and Columbia Pipeline Group became independent companies. NiSource is the parent company of Columbia Gas of Ohio.

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.
