Equitrans plans to complete MVP pipeline, begin expansion in 2022
Tuesday, August 10, 2021
Equitrans Midstream Corp. hopes to complete the Mountain Valley Pipeline by next summer and plans to get started on an extension next year, according to Pittsburgh Business Times.
The company recently confirmed it hopes to begin construction on MVP Southgate, an extension of the 303-mile Mountain Valley Pipeline into North Carolina, in 2022, with an in-service date of 2023.
MVP Southgate construction is dependent on the Mountain Valley Pipeline being in operation before work can start. The extension will make it possible for natural gas from the Marcellus Shale to travel to North Carolina.

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.
