Construction on Risberg Line pipeline begins
Wednesday, June 12, 2019
Construction on the Risberg Line has finally reached Ohio from its starting point at the end of another pipeline in Meadville, Pennsylvania, according to the Ashtabula Star Beacon.
As the $86 million pipeline gets closer to its end-point in North Kingsville, pipe segments have been lined up on an area of clear ground south of Interstate 90, marking its path. RH Energytrans plans to finish construction on the Risberg Line in early summer.
The completed pipeline will flow 55 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of gas from Pennsylvania to the northern tip of Ohio in Ashtabula County. The pipeline will help address Ashtabula County’s natural gas needs. The county has suffered from a shortage of natural gas in the past which has impacted its ability to attract certain industries.

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.
