Columbia Gas to start getting gas from Utica, Marcellus shales
Monday, March 5, 2018
Columbia Gas will start providing gas from the Utica and Marcellus shale plays starting in April, which could decrease prices for its consumers, according to The Columbus Dispatch.
The company plans to utilize several pipelines that can ship gas from the Utica and Marcellus shale formations in Ohio and several neighboring states. Simultaneously, it will be ending a long-term contract in which it got gas delivered from the Gulf Coast.
A company spokesman estimated that at least 40 percent of Columbia’s gas will come from pipelines that get their supply within the Utica and Marcellus region.

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.
