Monroe County caverns to store ethane
Monday, February 13, 2017
As much as 168 million gallons of natural gas liquids will be stored in underground salt caverns located 12 miles south of the PTT Global Chemical ethane cracker, eliminating one of the plant’s bigger obstacles.
According to The Intelligencer, the Monroe County storage facility will be the first of its kind in the Marcellus and Utica shale regions.
The facility will be named Moutaineer NGL Storage. Although it will be located on the Ohio side of the river, it will be within sight of Marshall County’s Blue Racer Midstream Natrium natural gas processing plant.

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.
