Marcellus gas will be on its way to Europe soon
Thursday, January 14, 2016
Marcellus shale gas will make its way to Norway via the Mariner East pipeline and Marcus Hook Industrial Complex in February.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. has pledged $2.5 billion toward the pipeline that will transport ethane and other natural gas liquids. Natural gas liquids (NGLs) are used for petrochemical manufacturing.
The newspaper says that INEOS, a European chemical producer, will use tankers to transport the gas from Marcus Hook across the Atlantic Ocean to Scotland and Norway.

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.
