Transco Extension approved to connect Appalachian Basin to Atlantic Seaboard

Supplies in the Marcellus and Utica shale plays may finally be connected to markets along the Atlantic Seaboard as the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved the Williams Leidy South natural gas pipeline project, according to Natural Gas Intelligence.

The pipeline is an extension of the Transcontinental Gas Pipeline system and would source gas produced by Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. and Seneca Resources Co. LLC. It includes six miles of large-diameter pipeline loop, two compressor stations and associated facilities in Pennsylvania’s Clinton, Columbia, Lycoming, Luzerne, Schuylkill and Wyoming counties.

The project is anticipated to be completed ahead of the 2021-2022 winter.
