Marcellus and Utica shale gas could be taken to other regions via pipelines
Sunday, October 5, 2014
According to Financial Times, a westbound pipeline has been proposed because of the quickly growing Marcellus and Utica shale plays of Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia.
The Rockies Express pipeline, which stretches to Ohio, was opened in 2009. With the addition of the east-to-west Rockies Express pipeline, more than one billion cubic feet of natural gas could be moved as soon as next year. Other pipelines have been proposed to take natural gas to places like the Gulf Coast and the midwest.
Since 2009, natural gas production in the Marcellus shale has risen 800 percent, and the Utica’s production has risen at the same rate, too.
