Columbia seeks permission for Buckeye XPress pipeline
Wednesday, April 18, 2018
Columbia Gas Transmission has filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to get permission for the construction of the Buckeye XPress natural gas pipeline, according to Marcellus Drilling News.
The Buckeye XPress natural gas pipeline project would include construction of 66 miles of new pipeline to replace old lines in Ohio’s Vinton, Jackson, Gallia and Lawrence counties, as well as pipeline replacement work in West Virginia’s Wayne County.
If approved and completed the pipeline will send natural gas from the Marcellus and Utica shale region to the Gulf Coast via an interconnection at Leach, Kentucky.

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.
