Another sinkhole exposes Mariner East 1 pipeline
Friday, January 25, 2019
For the second time in just over a year, a sinkhole has exposed a portion of the Mariner East pipeline project, according to the Daily Times.
Measuring 5 feet wide and 10 feet deep, a sinkhole developed last Sunday in a neighborhood in West Whiteland Township in Chester County, Pennsylvania — the same neighborhood where a previous sinkhole exposed the Mariner East 1 pipeline.
Once again the exposed pipe is the older, smaller Mariner East 1 pipeline, which has been online for months carrying butane, propane and ethane from the Marcellus Shale region to a facility in Marcus Hook.

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.
