Industry Briefs
Dominion Transmission has reached a 15-year agreement with the gas subsidiary of Consol Energy Inc. for firm transportation of Consol’s Marcellus Shale production. The associated project — which would include new compression facilities at three existing stations in central Pennsylvania — would be capable of transporting 200,000 Dth/d. It would move supplies from various receipt points in central and southwestern Pennsylvania to a nexus of market pipelines and storage facilities in Leidy in Clinton County, PA. Earlier this year Dominion sold its natural gas exploration and production business to Consol (see NGI, March 22).
