7 New Pipeline Projects Planned to Handle 2 Bcf/d from MVP | Marcellus Drilling News
Last week, MDN brought you information about what happens next when (not if) the mighty 303-mile Mountain Valley Pipeline gets completed (see MVP Prompts New Pipe Expansions for Hungry Downstream Customers). MVP is built to flow 2 Bcf/d (billion cubic feet per day) of Marcellus/Utica gas southward. The problem is there isn’t (yet) enough takeaway capacity at the end of MVP to handle a full 2 Bcf/d of gas. Nor will there be when MVP gets completed by the end of this year (or the beginning of next year). Howeever, there are seven new pipeline projects actively being planned that can help handle the extra load. We have the list.
