West Virginia companies establish supply of responsibly-sourced gas from the ‘wellhead to the receipt point’
Tuesday, December 28, 2021
Tug Hill Operating LLC and XcL Midstream Operating LLC, companies that mainly operate in Marshall and Wetzel counties in West Virginia, have partnered to earn the responsibly sourced gas designation across all of their upstream and midstream operations, according to Natural Gas Intelligence.
Tug Hill, a privately held exploration and production company, launched a pilot program to certify 45 wells through Project Canary’s TrustWell system earlier this year. The company produces more than 800 MMcf/d of gas and delivers it to the market via XcL’s gathering system.
“The partnership between Tug Hill and XcL means, for the first time, gas purchasers will have the opportunity to buy RSG that has been TrustWell certified from the wellhead to the receipt point,” Tug Hill and XcL CEO Michael Radler said.
The duo would be the first upstream and midstream companies to jointly seek independent certification of 100% of their operating assets.

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.
