Marathon’s Cornerstone Pipeline to be in service by end of year
Saturday, April 9, 2016
Marathon Petroleum is expected to begin digging trenches for its Cornerstone Pipeline project, according to The Repository. The pipeline will transport natural gas and condensate from processing plants in southeastern Ohio, possibly reducing the number of tanker trucks and trains carrying the flammable liquids.
The Cornerstone Pipeline will originate in Scio, Ohio, run north to East Sparta and then to Marathon’s refinery in Canton. The 16-inch-diameter, 42-mile section of pipeline from Cadiz to East Sparta will ship 180,000 barrels of liquid a day. The 8-inch-diameter, 8-mile section of pipeline from East Sparta to Canton will ship 45,000 barrels of condensate a day
Marathon Pipe Line, owned by Findley-based Marathon Petroleum Corp., is building the pipeline. It should be completed by the end of the year.

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.
