Energy Transfer Partners recently announced that Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved three compressor units at its Mainline Compressor Station 1 of the Rover Pipeline Project for partial service, according to Business Wire.

As the project creeps closer to completion, Phase 1A of the pipeline can now move more than 1 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas from Cadiz, Ohio, to Defiance, Ohio. Phase 1B of the pipeline from Seneca, Ohio, to Cadiz, Ohio is on schedule to be completed by the end of the year, with the Rover Pipeline in full service by the end of the first quarter next year.

The approximately 713-mile pipeline will transport natural gas from the Marcellus and Utica Shale production areas to markets across the United States as well as into Union Gas Dawn Storage Hub in Ontario, Canada.
