US grants Northern Access pipeline more time
Friday, July 1, 2022
U.S. regulators have granted National Fuel Gas Co an extension to build its proposed Northern Access natural gas pipeline, according to Reuters.
On Wednesday, the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved the company’s request for a 35-month extension to complete the project by December 2024.
Northern Access includes a 99-mile pipeline and would deliver about 0.49 billion cubic feet per day of gas from the Marcellus shale in Pennsylvania to New York. It is one of several fossil fuel projects held up by regulators in New York over the past several years.
The project was originally approved in February 2017 to be put into service by February 2019.

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.
