Midstream activities in PA-Texas Eastern Transmission Pipeline to Double in Capacity

Texas Eastern Transmission Pipeline to Double in Capacity A huge influx of oil and natural gas production has been the result of new technologies that make extracting resources from shale plays economically feasible. These plays are located across the country, and the growth has been so rapid it has created serious infrastructure issues for midstream companies across the country. Those in the East are experiencing the most change due to the success of the Marcellus and Utica shale plays. The region around these plays is seeing 88 percent of the projects underway to increase the capacity of transportation pipelines. The production of gas from the Marcellus alone has seen a substantial increase, rising from 1.2 billion cubic feet per day to around 14.8 billion cubic feet per day in the past seven years. By the year 2020, experts speculate that this amount could increase even more, to between 23 to 25 billion cubic feet per day. The ability to process and transport these natural resource
