US natural gas output rises with return of Mountaineer XPress pipeline
Wednesday, July 15, 2020
With the conclusion of unplanned work, TC Energy Corp’s Mountaineer Xpress pipeline in West Virginia returned to service over the weekend, prompting increased U.S. natural gas production, according to Reuters.
U.S. output climbed to 88.2 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) on Sunday, up from a low of 87.0 bcfd a week prior due mostly to the Mountaineer XPress’ shutdown.
Most of the U.S. output increases came from Marcellus and Utica shale with West Virginia up about 0.3 bcfd from last week’s low to 6.9 bcfd and Pennsylvania up about 0.7 bcfd to 19.5 bcfd.

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.
