Columbia Gas Transmission LLC
owns a pipeline network
that stretches nearly 12,000-miles across 10 states. Columbia Gas
Transmission also owns and operates one of the largest underground
storage systems for natural gas in the US, with 37 storage fields in
4 states. Columbia Gas Transmission LLC is a NiSource Company.
MarkWest Energy Partners and Columbia Gas Transmission have entered
into a joint development project associated with the existing Majorsville, WV Compressor Station. Majorsville gathering and gas
processing currently serves western Pennsylvania and the northern
panhandle of West Virginia.
Existing Columbia Gas Transmission facility in Majorsville, WV
The new MarkWest gas processing plant will gather
gas from Columbia Gas Transmission pipelines in the Pennsylvania
counties of Allegheny, Greene and Washington, as well as the West
Virginia counties of Doddridge, Marshall and Wetzel. Delivery points
from the MarkWest processing will be Spectra-TETCo in Wind Ridge, Pa,
and Columbia Gas Transmission in Majorsville, with service beginning
early in 2010. Photos of the existing Columbia Gas Transmission
facility in Majorsville, WV are shown below.
Another Columbia Gas Transmission project related to Marcellus Shale
gas is the modification of the Waynesburg Compressor Station, and
sections of Line 1570 through Washington and Allegheny Counties in
Pennsylvania, to increase capacity. This phase-in will extend from
the 3rd quarter of 2008 thru mid-2010. Columbia Gas Transmission is
also involved in an expansion project of Line 1711 which extends
northeasterly from Waynesburg toward Corning, NY.
September
2009 -
MarkWest
Liberty announced that it
reached definitive agreements with
Chesapeake Appalachia, L.L.C.
and Statoil Natural Gas L.L.C.
to process gas at MarkWest Liberty’s new Majorsville processing
plant. The gas produced by Chesapeake and Statoil will be gathered
by Columbia Gas Transmission using its infrastructure. Columbia
will deliver the gas to MarkWest Liberty’s
Majorsville processing plant,
which will be located adjacent to Columbia’s existing Majorsville
compressor station. The hydrocarbon liquids produced at the
Majorsville plant will be connected via pipeline to MarkWest
Liberty’s Houston, Pennsylvania processing complex. MarkWest
Liberty plans to install an approximate 37,000 barrel per day
fractionation facility at the Houston complex, as well as
transportation, storage, and marketing infrastructure, to sell the
hydrocarbon liquids into high-value markets in the northeastern
United States.
