Constitution

A week after the New York Department of Environmental Conservation (NYDEC) denied a key water quality permit for its Constitution Pipeline, Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. management said it refused to “dwell on the specifics” and couldn’t “expand on the legal strategy going forward.”

New York state’s Earth Day denial of a Clean Water Act (CWA) permit for the proposed Constitution Pipeline “may not prove to be an insurmountable obstacle,” but it is a “substantial one,” energy analysts said Monday. Constitution Pipeline LLC vowed to fight.

With time running out to complete tree felling activities, Constitution Pipeline Co. LLC is pushing back the in-service date for its proposed Constitution natural gas pipeline from 4Q2016 to 2H2017, in order to comply with directives from FERC and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to protect wildlife along the pipeline’s route.

A federal district court judge in Pennsylvania has ordered tree-clearing activities for the proposed Constitution natural gas pipeline to proceed, making clear that anyone interfering with the work would be arrested and held in contempt of court.

Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. has plans to stay flexible this year amid an uncertain commodity price environment that’s further complicated by a lack of clarity about when some of the company’s key infrastructure projects will come online to serve bottlenecked Marcellus Shale production in Northeast Pennsylvania.

FERC has given Constitution Pipeline Co. LLC permission to begin cutting trees in Pennsylvania for its $683 million natural gas pipeline — which would transport gas from the Marcellus Shale to markets in the northeast — but withheld permission for the clearing of trees in neighboring New York State.
