Mariner East 2 pipeline construction begins
Monday, July 10, 2017
Construction has begun on the Mariner East 2 pipeline project, laying a portion across 6.5 miles of northern Lancaster County, according to Lancaster Online.
The Mariner East project consists of laying two pipelines in an enlarged existing right-of-way where an old pipeline used to carry oil products from a refinery near Philadelphia to western states. The extension of this project, Mariner East 2, adds two pipelines along 350 miles in Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia to move natural gas liquids from Marcellus Shale and Utica Shale plays of western Pennsylvania and Ohio to the same refinery.
The project is expected to be completed by the end of September.

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.
