Transco Extension approved to connect Appalachian Basin to Atlantic Seaboard
Thursday, July 23, 2020
Supplies in the Marcellus and Utica shale plays may finally be connected to markets along the Atlantic Seaboard as the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved the Williams Leidy South natural gas pipeline project, according to Natural Gas Intelligence.
The pipeline is an extension of the Transcontinental Gas Pipeline system and would source gas produced by Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. and Seneca Resources Co. LLC. It includes six miles of large-diameter pipeline loop, two compressor stations and associated facilities in Pennsylvania’s Clinton, Columbia, Lycoming, Luzerne, Schuylkill and Wyoming counties.
The project is anticipated to be completed ahead of the 2021-2022 winter.

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.
